The hunt for hidden gems in the crypto market never stops, and with altcoin season on the horizon, traders are once again scanning for projects with the potential to explode. Interestingly, artificial intelligence is now playing a role in pointing out which tokens could be worth a closer look.
AI dives into the low-cap market
AI models are being used more frequently to forecast crypto trends, from predicting XRP’s price to flagging which sectors might lead the next rally. In this case, ChatGPT-5 was asked to comb through the ecosystem for tokens under $200 million in market cap that could benefit from strong momentum.
Low-cap cryptocurrencies are particularly appealing because of their volatility and potential for rapid gains. Many operate in trendy sectors like AI-powered solutions, DeFi, GameFi, and next-generation blockchain infrastructure.
Among the tokens highlighted, one in particular has drawn attention for its strong fundamentals and renewed community support. But here’s the full list of AI’s picks:
- Alchemix (ALCX)
- Cartesi (CTSI)
- Gala Games (GALA)
- Storj (STORJ)
- Serum (SRM)
- Harmony (ONE)
- Ocean Protocol (OCEAN)
- Flux (FLUX)
- Celo (CELO)
- Polymath (POLY)
Why low-cap tokens are risky
Before anyone jumps in, it’s important to remember that low-cap cryptos carry significant risks. High volatility can cut both ways, liquidity is often thin, and history shows these assets are more vulnerable to market manipulation and scams.
Even though many of the tokens flagged by AI have already proven their staying power to some degree, no AI prediction—or human one—is a guarantee of future profits.
What about meme coins?
While Ethereum has recently overshadowed the meme coin space, the sector hasn’t disappeared. In fact, despite their declining dominance, the overall meme coin market cap has grown nearly 80% since April.
According to ChatGPT, some smaller meme tokens gaining traction right now include Wen (WEN), Wojak (WOJAK), Moby (MOBY), and Pythia. As always, these projects fall squarely into the “high-risk, high-reward” category.
The bottom line
The idea of AI flagging cryptocurrency opportunities is exciting, especially for traders constantly chasing the next breakout project. But the same rules apply: never invest more than you can afford to lose, do your own research, and approach low-cap tokens with caution.
If AI is right, some of these names could see strong upside during the next altcoin wave. But if history is any guide, there will be just as many failures as winners.
