Every market pullback not only tests investors' mindset and practical skills but also re-evaluates the project's value. In this round of cryptocurrency market corrections, AI Agent is undoubtedly one of the fastest rebounding sectors, but significant differentiation has also emerged. This article by PANews compiles nine outstanding leading AI Agent projects that have demonstrated strong resilience during this round of corrections, with an average maximum rebound of approximately 131.1%, and some projects even reaching all-time highs. At the same time, these projects have frequently taken action in terms of technology and ecology, laying a solid foundation for market recognition and price increases.
Virtuals Protocol
After experiencing a significant pullback recently, Virtuals Protocol has initiated a strong recovery. According to GMGN data, VIRTUAL rebounded nearly 86.5% during this period, with its market cap recovering to $1.8 billion.
Recently, Virtuals Protocol has also been frequently announcing positive news. On January 15, Virtuals Protocol announced an update to its value accumulation mechanism to better support builders in the Virtuals ecosystem. The protocol stated that since October 16, 2024, it has accumulated 12,990,427.85 VIRTUAL (valued at approximately $40 million) through post-bonding transaction revenue. This will be used to repurchase and burn the corresponding agent tokens based on a 30-day time-weighted average price (TWAP). Among this, 30% is allocated to agent creators, 20% to agent affiliates, and 50% to agent sub-DAOs for future governance decisions. The rewards for creators will be sent directly to the agent deployer's wallet. Additionally, Virtuals will introduce an agent partner mechanism to coordinate incentives between trading platforms/interfaces (such as TG bots) and the Virtuals ecosystem. When these platforms become agent partners, they will receive 20% of the post-bonding transaction tax from the trades they facilitate—these funds can be used to reward their communities or other initiatives.
Dune data shows that the top three beneficiary agent tokens and their allocation amounts are as follows: GAME can receive 1.616 million VIRTUAL (approximately $4.736 million), CONVO can receive 1.107 million VIRTUAL (approximately $3.243 million), and AIXBT can receive 882,000 VIRTUAL (approximately $584,000).
Moreover, Virtuals Protocol has recently formed partnerships with projects such as Animoca Brands, Saga, and Illuvium.
In addition, the ecological and business data of Virtuals Protocol also performed well. Dune data shows that as of January 16, Virtuals Protocol has launched over 16,000 agents, with cumulative revenue exceeding $75.05 million.
AIXBT
AIXBT is one of the pioneers in this round of AI Agent rebounds. According to GMGN data, AIXBT has risen over 156.8% from its recent low, with a current market cap of nearly $740 million, reaching an all-time high at one point.
In the past period, AIXBT has continuously gained user mindshare while being listed on mainstream exchanges such as Binance and OKX. According to cookie.fun data, as of January 16, AIXBT has over 389,000 fans, with a mindshare of nearly 13.2%. This trend is significantly related to AIXBT's high win rate in token recommendations. CryptoHunt data shows that in the past 30 days, AIXBT's token recommendation win rate reached 72.4%, with the highest yielding projects including PIPPIN, COOKIE, and ANON.
Griffain
During this market downturn, Griffain did not show significant declines and even reached new highs. According to GMGN data, GRIFFAIN has risen approximately 95% from its recent low, with a current market cap exceeding $550 million.

Since the release of the official documentation for the Rig architecture at the beginning of this month, arc has launched a series of collaborative projects to enhance the functionality and compatibility of its framework while attracting more developers to join and promote ecological expansion by providing richer tools and resources.
For example, arc has partnered with EternalAI to develop a decentralized reasoning layer and a Rust-based framework, allowing developers to seamlessly deploy open-source models like Llama 3.1 and flux across multiple blockchains, ensuring everyone can access censorship-resistant and tamper-proof intelligence; arc has integrated with Shuttle's Rust-native backend and cloud infrastructure to support developers in seamlessly building and scaling next-generation AI applications; arc has collaborated with Arbitrum and Abstract to introduce EVM compatibility for the Rust-based AI agent framework Rig; arc has integrated MongoDB to provide developers with production-grade databases for storing, searching, and managing vector embeddings, unlocking powerful retrieval-enhanced AI for real-world applications; arc has teamed up with SendAI to attract more Solana and Rust developers.
Hey Anon
Hey Anon is the project most frequently recommended by AIXBT recently and has not been affected by the pullback market sentiment, instead accelerating its rise. According to GMGN data, Anon has risen nearly 116.7% from its recent low, with a current market cap nearing $290 million, reaching an all-time high.
Recently, Hey Anon announced the launch of the TypeScript framework AUTOMATE, enabling any developer to easily integrate any DeFi protocol into the Hey Anon ecosystem, accelerating the development of DeFAI. Currently, this framework supports networks such as Arbitrum, Base, Avalanche, and BNB Chain. Additionally, to promote adoption, Hey Anon has initiated a DAO proposal to allocate 2% of ANON tokens and 1 million USDC to support developers using AUTOMATE.
