December 17, 2024 – Tortola, British Virgin Islands
According to the prediction of Ransu Salovaara, CEO of TokenBuilder and a crypto veteran since 2014, the next 12 months will be pivotal in boosting transparency for token launches and integrating AI technology into new crypto projects.
Salovaara, who helped raise token sales for major names in the industry, believes 2025 will be dominated by two major trends.
- FTOs (fair token offerings) A push for more reasonable valuations and more equitable access for everyday investors
- AI tokens A major leap forward where crypto meets advanced AI agents, opening fresh opportunities for projects and investors alike
Salovaara said,
“2024 was phenomenal, with Bitcoin hitting $100,000 on December 4th, CoinMarketCap confirms this milestone.
“Thousands of memecoins 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 $150,000 to $200,000, and memecoins 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.”
FTOS eveling the playing field
While Bitcoin’s and memecoins’ rise dominated headlines in 2024, these trends also highlighted how rampant scams and rug-pulls remain.
Memecoins 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.
- Access Retail investor inclusion in private rounds
- Appreciation Fair token valuations with upside potential
- Supply At least 20% circulating supply after token launch to avoid price manipulation
- Liquidity Early secondary market trading plans (DEX or otherwise)
- Transparency Public, identifiable teams rather than anonymous founders
Salovaara added,
“We want to end the days of anonymous projects. A legitimate project should be proud of its team, structure and open to scrutiny.”

Each token must achieve at least one star on the FTO rating scale to even be considered raising the bar for fairness in Web 3.0 fundraising.
Although the five-pillar…
