Top AI meme coins COAI crypto and AIC crypto have plummeted as retail capital rotates into Binance meme coins – here’s why.
AI-linked tokens slipped on Friday, October 31 (PKT), while a Binance Chain meme coin moved in the opposite direction. The shift highlights how traders are rapidly shifting between themes as momentum wanes in certain parts of the market.
ChainOpera AI (COAI) and AI companions (AIC) experienced a drastic decline over the last day, with AIC showing even greater loss on a weekly basis. A token on the Binance Chain, BUILDon (B), had solid returns within the same time frame.
Ape and Pepe (APEPE) also traded lower, reflecting softer interest in meme names outside B’s corner of the market.
COAI led the drop. The token was trading near $2.18 with roughly $95M in volume over the past 24 hours, down about -28% on the day.
The move came as traders pulled risk from AI-focused names and rotated toward activity on BNB Smart Chain venues.
AIC hovered near $0.21, slightly lower on the day, but the heavier pressure has been building over the past week, with the token down by more than 50%.
The slide shows that interest in AI-linked assets remains fragile, even after several large swings earlier in the month.
APEPE slipped between -16% and -21% over the past day on major price trackers. Trading activity stayed busy, with daily volume estimated between $28M and $48M.
BUILDon moved the other way. CoinGecko showed a daily gain of about 19.5%, while Coingecko data pointed to rising turnover.

Why Are AI-Linked Tokens Sliding This Week?
CoinGecko’s AI index fell about 9% on the day. Meme coins also traded lower as a group, though a few BNB-chain names, including BUILDon, held firm.
Analysts described the weakness in smaller AI coins as part of a rotation toward larger, better-known names after sharp rallies.

COAI is holding near an important support zone after a steep multi-day slide. Price has pulled back to the $1.70–$2.00 area, a region where buyers stepped in earlier this month.
The pair is now trading close to $2.73, showing early signs of stability after falling from highs above $20.
Recent candles indicate a narrow movement with lighter selling, suggesting that the market is cooling as the price retests its base.
This zone has sparked major upside before the chart marks a rally of more than 600% from the same area. If buyers hold this level again, a short-term bounce is possible.
Even so, the bigger picture remains soft. Price has made lower highs since mid-October, showing weak momentum.
A real shift would need steady buying and a break above nearby resistance. For now, traders seem cautious. Most activity points to spot accumulation at support rather than aggressive positioning.
