Donald Trump announced The Stargate Project on Tuesday, a $500 billion initiative to build cutting-edge AI infrastructure in the United States.
The project will bring together a powerhouse of tech, engineering, and fintech giants, including OpenAI, Oracle, SoftBank, Microsoft, NVIDIA, and more.
Trump’s announcement has prompted a rally in AI crypto coins, particularly in the AI agent sector. VIRTUAL, AI16Z and AIXBT are among the top performers, each up by double digits today.
Low-cap AI agent coins are also in high demand, with a new project Mind of Pepe (MIND) raising over $3 million in its presale in short order.
Donald Trump has made a splash early in his presidency, committing half a trillion dollars to The Stargate Project. The initiative promises to position the United States at the forefront of the global AI revolution, besides creating cutting-edge infrastructure and 100,000 American jobs.
As per OpenAI’s statements on X, “this project will not only support the re-industrialization of the United States but also provide a strategic capability to protect the national security of America and its allies.”
The initiative unites some of the largest American tech, fintech, and engineering powerhouses. OpenAI and SoftBank have operational and financial responsibility, respectively. Besides OpenAI, Arm, Microsoft, NVIDIA and Oracle are among the key technological partners.
For starters, whenever tech giants like Microsoft, NVIDIA, and OpenAI collaborate, it signals a bullish outlook for tech and AI equities, impacting both the stock and crypto markets. Noticeably, OpenAI is also a leader in the AI agent race, which explains the bull rally in AI agent cryptos.
More importantly, pumping $500 billion to supercharge AI infrastructure in the United States bodes well for AI-powered Web3 projects as well.
Ultimately, the crypto markets are largely driven by mindshare. Donald Trump’s decision to make Stargate one of his first major moves indicates that AI is poised to capture a significant share of mindshare throughout the remainder of his term. This positions AI coins like AI16Z, AIXBT and MIND among the best cryptos to buy now.
Once again, AI16Z and AIXBT are the two top performers in today’s AI rally, up by 25% and 45%, respectively.
This was also the case during the post-CPI rally earlier this month, with the trend suggesting strong latent demand for the two AI crypto coins.
As such, AI16Z continues to see its fundamentals improve, as is evident by GitHub activity. Meanwhile, AIXBT is Binance’s pick for the AI agent race, with the token securing a spot listing on the exchange earlier this month.
However, smart money investors also realize the AI agent coin meta is still extremely new, particularly in the crypto market. As a result, they are still on the lookout for low-cap cryptos with high upside potential.
Mind of Pepe (MIND) is one of the projects that has caught their attention, with its presale raising over $3 million in short order.

Created by Elvara Labs, the project is building a self-sovereign, self-evolving AI agent, designed to offer hive-mind analysis and actionable community intelligence to MIND holders.
Additionally, Mind of Pepe will soon have self-managed X and Telegram accounts, which will allow it to create new trends, engage with social media influencers, collect alpha tips from experts and even market itself. Furthermore, it can create its own cryptocurrency, considering it has a self-managed crypto wallet.
Despite its ambitious goals. MIND is still a low-cap crypto, making it an attractive investment in the AI agent sector. Prominent crypto investors are bullish on the token’s upside potential, with many eyeing up to 10x returns.
