Keanu is among meme coins to floor the gas pedal this week as the sector sentiment returned to positive readings. The Keanu (KNU) token was up more than 300% from its recent lows, rising as Bitcoin, Solana and the broader market witnessed a fresh dose of bullishness.

However, most notably is the resurgence of meme coins after a recent meltdown occasioned by comments from Changpeng Zhao. With the industry figure sharing a fresh outlook on his previous comments, most tokens in the attention economy took cue to resume recent upward moves.

Meme on the move- Keanu (KNU)

As a new Solana-based meme coin, Keanu (KNU) has taken the crypto market by storm. The Keanu Reeves-inspired meme project officially launched this month and is already one of the most talked-about themed tokens.

Despite a broader slowdown as BTC retraced from its ATH, meme coin analysts say the supercycle is yet to roll in. That’s when top gems will aim for the moon. Keanu is shaping up as one of these viral projects, with latest AI-related developments adding to the bullish picture.

The Keanu AI agent is the new milestone for the meme project – which means it’s not just about memes. AI and crypto integration are the trend of the future and the arrival of the AI agent is a big step for KNU. The Keanu team shared the exciting project development on the official X account.

Crypto analysts are extremely bullish on the future of AI agents, and AI meme coins could be a huge winner if this pans out.

“I personally believe we’re moving into a future where AI agents will trade autonomously on chain for you, manage your portfolio/risk, DeFi and more. It’s going to completely change the landscape of crypto,” crypto analyst Miles Deutscher said.

With tokens such as Goateus Maximus rocketing amid community reaction to autonomous AI agent posts, the timing for Keanu could not be any perfect. Significant is that blending AI agent and crypto potential with the global inspiration that Keanu Reeves commands suggests the FOMO will soon kick in – and KNU is ready.

Keanu price performance

Keanu stands as one of the best performers this week, tracking gains towards its all-time high and poised to explode as the project teases a major development.

Per CoinGecko data, the token’s price has jumped by more than 34% in 24 hours. However, it is over 300% up since falling to lows of $0.0005689 as the token traded above $0.002246. With such gains, KNU has emerged as one of this week’s top gainers – particularly new themed tokens riding the hot crypto trend that started in early November.

The fair launch and listing means the community is largely behind the gains. Also notable is the overall crypto sentiment.
