The next twelve months will be pivotal in boosting transparency for token launches and integrating AI technology into new crypto projects, according to Ransu Salovaara, CEO of TokenBuilder and a crypto veteran since 2014. Salovaara, who helped raise token sales for major names in the industry, believes 2025 will be dominated by two major trends:

“2024 was phenomenal, with Bitcoin hitting $100,000 on December 4th—CoinMarketCap confirms this milestone,” says Salovaara. “Thousands of meme-coins also launched this year, many reaching secondary markets, as tracked by BDC Consulting. But 2025 is set to be even bigger. I predict Bitcoin will push towards $150k–$200k, and meme-coins will hopefully adopt stricter compliance. Even more exciting is how AI is finally converging with crypto, spawning a new generation of AI-driven utility tokens.”

1. Fair Token Offerings (FTOs): Leveling the Playing Field

While Bitcoin’s and meme-coin’s rise dominated headlines in 2024, these trends also highlighted how rampant scams and rug-pulls remain. Meme-coins in particular saw thousands of launches, not all created equal. Private insiders often orchestrated low-float, high-valuation tactics—leaving retail investors at a disadvantage.

To counter these, TokenBuilder has pioneered an FTO Rating system, providing a transparent scoring framework for new token offerings. This rating focuses on five pillars:

“We want to end the days of anonymous projects,” Salovaara says. “A legitimate project should be proud of its team, structure, and open to scrutiny.”

FTOcalendar.com is TokenBuilder’s curated platform listing upcoming offerings. Each token must achieve at least one star on the FTO Rating scale to even be considered—raising the bar for fairness in Web3 fundraising. Although the five-pillar overview remains the core, TokenBuilder continues refining the FTO Rating for greater sophistication.

2. AI Tokens: The Next Billion-Dollar Crypto Sector

According to Salovaara, For most of 2024, AI was overshadowed by surging meme-coins and the mainstream adoption of Bitcoin ETFs. Yet behind the scenes, developers have been blending language models (OpenAI, Grog, Llama) with crypto utility.

In practice, these AI tokens will:

“We see AI tokens as the next wave of utility tokens—where owning them isn’t just about price speculation, but unlocking actual AI-based features,” Salovaara explains. “Expect many new AI-token launches by mid-2025, each aiming to monetize everything from data analytics to real-time predictions. We will launch our first version of ‘Eliza’ in January–February 2025.”

3. TokenBuilder’s Roadmap for 2025 and Beyond

Building on a decade of crypto experience, TokenBuilder is developing a Fair Token Offering launchpad focused on AI-driven tokens. Using on-chain sales accessible to everyone, the platform plans to offer:

“We believe the ‘AI-Agent Army’ will be central to many utility tokens from 2025 onward,” Salovaara adds. “Imagine an AI-powered framework that automates compliance checks, optimizes liquidity, and offers real-time market intelligence for both investors and founders. That’s the future we’re building.”
