As I sit here in my villa overlooking the crystal-clear waters of Tortola, British Virgin Islands, I can’t help but reflect on the incredible journey that has led me to this point as a crypto veteran since 2014. The predictions for 2025 by Ransu Salovaara, the CEO of TokenBuilder, are nothing short of intriguing, and I wholeheartedly agree with his assessment of the pivotal role that Fair Token Offerings (FTOs) and AI tokens will play in shaping the future of our industry.
Tortola, British Virgin Islands, December 17th, 2024, Chainwire
As per Ransu Salovaara, CEO of TokenBuilder and a seasoned cryptocurrency expert since 2014, the upcoming year is expected to play a crucial role in enhancing transparency during token launches and incorporating AI technology into emerging crypto projects. Salovaara, who has assisted in raising funds for prominent names within the industry, anticipates that the year 2025 will be marked by two significant trends.
- Fair Token Offerings (FTOs) — A push for more reasonable valuations and more equitable access for everyday investors
- AI Tokens — A major leap forward where crypto meets advanced AI agents, opening fresh opportunities for projects and investors alike
2024 was nothing short of extraordinary for me as a researcher, with Bitcoin reaching an unprecedented milestone of $100,000 on December 4th, according to CoinMarketCap. Moreover, the year saw the emergence of thousands of meme-coins, many of which found their way into secondary markets as BDC Consulting tracks. However, I am eagerly anticipating that 2025 will be even more remarkable. I foresee Bitcoin surging towards the price range of $150k–$200k. As for meme-coins, I hope they will start to adopt stricter compliance measures in the coming year. The most exciting development, though, is the convergence of AI and crypto, leading to the birth of a new breed of AI-driven utility tokens—a development that promises to revolutionize the landscape of digital currencies.
1. Fair Token Offerings (FTOs): Leveling the Playing Field
In 2024, the surge of Bitcoin and meme coins made headlines, but it also underscored the persistence of scams and rug pulls in the market. Meme coins, in particular, experienced numerous launches, not all of which were fair. Often, private insiders manipulated low-supply, high-value strategies, putting retail investors at a disadvantage.
To combat this, TokenBuilder has introduced an innovative Forward Token Offering (FTO) Rating system, offering a clear and open evaluation structure for upcoming token launches. The focus of this rating is centered around five key areas:
- Access: Retail investor inclusion in private rounds
- Appreciation: Fair token valuations with upside potential
- Supply: At least 20% circulating supply after token launch to avoid price manipulation
- Liquidity: Early secondary market trading plans (DEX or otherwise)
- Transparency: Public, identifiable teams rather than anonymous founders
Salovaara emphasizes the desire to move away from unidentified initiatives, suggesting instead that credible projects should openly acknowledge their teams, structure, and welcome transparency and examination.
At FTOcalendar.com, we present TokenBuilder’s carefully selected listings of upcoming projects. For a token to be included, it must earn at least one star on the FTO Rating system – setting a high standard for fairness in Web3 fundraising. The fundamental five-pillar review process serves as our foundation, while TokenBuilder consistently works on enhancing the FTO Rating for improved complexity and accuracy.
2. AI Tokens: The Next Billion-Dollar Crypto Sector
Based on Salovaara’s findings, throughout much of 2024, AI was largely overshadowed by the rapid rise of meme-coins and the widespread acceptance of Bitcoin ETFs. However, unnoticed by many, developers have been integrating language models like OpenAI, Grog, and Llama with cryptocurrency functions behind the scenes.
In practice, these AI tokens will:
- Use AI-agent frameworks (like AI16Z’s “Eliza”) to enable advanced, automated services
- Offer exclusive data and analytics functionalities
- Function as native payment methods for discounted or premium AI services
Salovaara describes AI tokens as the future utility tokens, not just for price speculation but for accessing practical AI capabilities. He predicts numerous AI token launches by mid-2025, each aiming to commercialize various services such as data analysis and real-time predictions. Our first version of ‘Eliza’ is set to debut in January or February 2025.
3. TokenBuilder’s Roadmap for 2025 and Beyond
Leveraging over a decade’s worth of cryptocurrency expertise, TokenBuilder is working on an AI-centric Fair Token Launchpad, aimed at issuing tokens. This platform aspires to provide equitable access to on-chain token sales to all users, offering the following features:
- $TBAI launch on Uniswap 2nd of January 2025
- Multiple token offering methods: Fixed-price sales, Liquidity Bootstrapping Pool (LBP) auctions, and more
- Multi-chain support: Ethereum, Base, and possibly other Ethereum Layer-2 networks
- AI-Powered Tools: AI-powered tokenomics analysis, compliance tracking, and advanced analytics
In addition to the FTO Calendar and a team of AI agents for enforcement and tokenization, TokenBuilder aspires to simplify the entire procedure of launching new tokens by ensuring a fair, open, and transparent approach throughout.
According to Salovaara, it’s expected that AI-powered teams will play a crucial role in various utility tokens starting from 2025. Picture an advanced AI system capable of performing compliance checks automatically, optimizing liquidity, and providing real-time market insights for both investors and entrepreneurs. This is the future we are working towards creating.
