Three major artificial intelligence systems—ChatGPT, Grok, and Gemini—have selected the Pepe token as the leader in the meme coin market for 2026, citing its highest bullish potential. The virtual assistants assessed PEPE as the most likely candidate for a significant rally thanks to a combination of factors: its popularity among investors, an active user community, positive trends in the crypto market, and the development of the Solana blockchain, on which the meme coin is hosted.

ChatGPT emphasized that Pepe has evolved from a hype-driven asset into a stable market structure, having survived its first major cycle of growth followed by a slump. “Assets that remain afloat usually become centers of liquidity attraction when the cryptocurrency market heats up,” the system explained its selection. The meme coin ranks fourth in market capitalization with a volume of $1.7 billion, falling short of Dogecoin by a factor of 12.

Interestingly, the reliability of these AI systems' forecasts remains in question. When trading futures on digital assets, ChatGPT, Grok, and Gemini incurred losses due to inaccurate predictions of price direction. However, the choice of Pepe makes sense: the token collapsed by 86% from its peak in 2025, and the current price of $0.000003942 indicates a low entry level. With a resumption of a bullish trend, such a market capitalization allows the meme coin to show exponential growth compared to higher-priced assets.
