In the cryptocurrency field, Meme coins are known for their high volatility and community fervor. However, Turbo Coin ($TURBO) has made its mark among numerous Meme coins with its unique “AI-generated” DNA. In April 2023, digital artist Rhett Mankind completed the token design, marketing strategy, and even the toad mascot creation solely with a starting capital of $69, guided entirely by ChatGPT-4, ultimately deploying the TURBO token on Ethereum. This disruptive way of coming into existence instantly ignited the curiosity of the crypto community.
Community-driven is the core spirit of Turbo. The project has no official team, and the token adopts a fair launch model with no transaction tax, all decisions are made through community voting. This decentralized practice has established a differentiated advantage in the competition among meme coins like PEPE and DOGE. Although it initially failed due to an attack on the liquidity pool, it was restarted after raising 4 ETH through community fundraising, and the price of TURBO skyrocketed from an initial 0.000317 USD to a historical high of 0.0143 USD by the end of 2024, an increase of over 700%.
2024 becomes a key turning point for Turbo. From the end of April to early May, Binance announced the launch of TURBO/USDT perpetual contracts, supporting up to 50 times leverage. After the announcement, TURBO’s daily increase surpassed 20%, with trading volume surging to 350 million USD, and circulating market capitalization once approaching 340 million USD. This listing not only significantly enhanced liquidity but also marked mainstream exchanges’ recognition of the “AI + Meme” narrative.
Social media buzz is skyrocketing. The official X (Twitter) account has over 40,000 followers, and the Discord community has gathered more than 10,000 members. The viral spread of the hashtag ‘#TurboToad’ continues to attract new investors.
Turbo’s long-term value relies on two core narratives:
The global AI industry is expected to reach a scale of 1.8 trillion USD by 2030, while Meme coins have become the mainstream choice for retail investors entering the cryptocurrency market due to their low barriers to entry and high virality. Turbo is right at the intersection of both, and its “ChatGPT original” story has sustainable marketing potential.
The community has proposed the TurboChain development plan—a Layer 2 network focused on Meme coins and AI applications. If successfully implemented, it will significantly enhance the practical scenarios of tokens and free them from purely speculative attributes.
Despite the bright prospects, investors must remain vigilant against threefold risks:
Turbo Coin has proven a disruptive hypothesis: AI can not only generate text and images, but also become a collaborator in crypto innovation. Whether it can break through the key resistance of $0.01 depends on the community’s ability to transform marketing enthusiasm into technical strength—TurboChain’s progress will be an important observation indicator. Amid the speculative frenzy of Meme coins and the rational core of AI, Turbo is trying to carve out a new path. For investors, while embracing the potential for high returns, it is essential to remember: “The higher your leverage, the faster the market’s scythe.”
