If you're diving into the world of meme tokens on the Base chain, keeping an eye on what "smart money" is doing can give you a serious edge. Smart money refers to those savvy, often institutional or whale-level investors whose moves are tracked by analytics platforms like Nansen AI. Recently, a tweet from @Chyan highlighted some fascinating shifts in these holdings, with $TIBBIR climbing to the top spot and pushing $AERO down a notch. Let's break it down and see what this means for meme token enthusiasts and blockchain practitioners.

This snapshot reveals some intriguing trends, especially in the meme token space. $TIBBIR, now dubbed the "Base AI king," has surged to the lead with over $7 million in smart money holdings across 14 wallets. This could point to growing interest in AI-integrated meme projects on Base, blending fun narratives with tech utility.

Not far behind, $BOGUS lands on the podium thanks to its AI lore, holding $3.64 million with a slight dip but strong narrative pull. Meme fans will also note $KEYCAT leading the pack in pure meme plays, with 11 sharp wallets betting on its potential. Meanwhile, $NOICE shows broad appeal with 22 holders, suggesting widespread conviction in its community-driven vibe.

Other notables include $AUBRAI anchoring the DeSci (decentralized science) sector and $VIRTUAL holding steady as a core player in the AI agent meta. Even established tokens like $AERO, a DeFi staple on Base, are seeing competition from these emerging names.

Why does this matter for meme token traders? Smart money often spots opportunities early, so these holdings could signal the next big pumps or emerging metas. For instance, the focus on AI and agent-related tokens aligns with broader blockchain trends, where memes aren't just jokes anymore—they're evolving into functional ecosystems.
