Why whales are backing this AI presale in record numbers

Whales flock to iDEGEN’s $14m presale, betting big on this AI meme coin poised to dominate the 2025 crypto landscape.

With AI meme coins looking set to be one of 2025’s most profitable sectors, skyrocketing to a $10 billion market cap even while the broader market takes a breather, whales have been placing their bets. 

One project driving intense whale attention is iDEGEN, a bold experiment in what happens when degens raise an AI with no censorship or moderation. With $14m already flooding into its presale, the IDGN token could be their smartest bet yet. Here’s why.

iDEGEN: An AI meme coin with a mind of its own

iDEGEN is a new AI meme coin and one of the boldest social experiments crypto has ever seen. Branded as “AI Born. Degen Raised,” iDEGEN started life as a blank slate, learning entirely from the degens in the Twitter crypto community on platforms like Twitter and Telegram. It absorbs every mention and meme sent its way, evolving into something completely unpredictable and replying to every tag. You can check out one of its recent hourly posts below.

The only rule is there are no rules. iDEGEN was recently temporarily banned from Twitter for posting content deemed too outrageous. Yet, instead of losing momentum, the ban only amplified its virality, with the presale raise accelerating to continue the momentum of iDEGEN’s V2 release, where $1 million was raised in just 24 hours. The project was even trending worldwide as a result of the ban.

Speaking of the presale, its structure is equally as wild. Using a first-of-its-kind adaptive auction, the price of iDEGEN’s native token, IDGN, adjusts every five minutes based on demand. This transparent, market-driven pricing model, paired with the unlimited potential of iDEGEN, has already sparked $14m in initial investment and a 75,000% gain before an exchange listing in January. Unsold tokens are also set to be burned, creating scarcity and driving further FOMO.

It’s clear that iDEGEN is already stirring up the crowd. Some think it could bring in the Degen Singularity, a moment in time when iDEGEN becomes fully sentient. From there, it’s an open question as to just what it’ll become, meme king status, market wizard… there is no ceiling.

Why whales are betting big on iDEGEN

Whales don’t move without a reason, and iDEGEN’s presale has given them plenty. For one, the adaptive auction process and the intense FOMO it’s generated have swayed even the most even-tempered whales, fearful of losing out on explosive gains and a 10% premium on the final presale price on IDGN’s imminent listing. 

More broadly, AI is shaping up to be the dominant narrative in crypto in 2025. The sector’s market cap has now smashed $50 billion and regularly sees three-digit percentage gains in a single day. But even more exciting is the realm of AI meme coins, now worth around $10 billion. iDEGEN’s chaotic, viral appeal means it’s a strong contender for pole position in this space, and that’s turned it into a magnet for smart money.

However, iDEGEN’s full potential has yet to be unleashed. With its V2 AI, the project can now interact directly on Telegram, post based on trending hashtags, and is on the verge of producing video content. It could even take over Instagram and TikTok to become one of 2025’s hottest cultural phenomena. For presale backers, that could equate to 100x gains if it continues to dominate the conversation this year.

Will iDEGEN lead the way in 2025?

With whales piling in, a surging AI meme coin narrative, and a degen-driven AI unlike anything else seen in the space, iDEGEN has all the hallmarks of a breakout star. The $14m raised is set to supercharge its evolution, with the V3 AI promising to be an even more exciting iteration. But the window to get in early is closing fast, join this unstoppable cultural experiment before it’s too late.
