DeepSeek AI Reveals The Best Crypto To Buy For August

August could be a breakout month for crypto, and DeepSeek AI has just revealed its top picks for the month.

They include a mix of trusted blue chips, high-potential new projects, and what DeepSeek calls a ‘’dark horse utility play.’’ According to the AI chatbot, each could be primed for explosive gains.

Bitcoin set a new all-time high in July, briefly breaking above $123,000 amid rising ETF optimism and accelerating institutional flows.

Despite today’s pullback, there’s still strong risk-on sentiment, with many traders positioning for what could be another “Altcoin August,” a seasonal trend where capital rotates into Ethereum, Solana, and other smaller tokens with high upside potential.

DeepSeek’s shortlist comprises two large-cap projects positioned to benefit from ETF momentum and regulatory advances, two high-potential presale plays, and one under-the-radar utility token.

Here’s a closer look at what DeepSeek has to say about each pick and why it sees them leading the pack.

Ethereum (ETH)

“Ethereum remains a strong pick,” the AI said. The altcoin is gaining ground in the ETF space in the US, posting a new record inflow streak. Its “dominance in DeFi, NFTs, and Layer-2 ecosystems also makes it a long-term powerhouse,” DeepSeek said.

Investors have poured $5.4B into $ETH funds during this period.

BlackRock’s ETHA alone attracted over $4B in July.

It said ETH also benefits from ongoing scalability upgrades (Dencun, Proto-Danksharding), reducing fees and improving throughput, and added that institutional adoption from financial giants like BlackRock and Fidelity is growing.

“The network’s $50B+ Total Value Locked (TVL) dwarfs competitors, and staking yields (~3-5% APR) add passive income appeal,” it added.  

In the next 3-6 months, DeepSeek forecasts that ETH could surge to between $4,000 and as high as $4,500, up more than 11% from the $3,595 it traded at as of 11:36 a.m. EST. ETH is down 5.3% in the past 24 hours.

Solana (SOL)

DeepSeek said that Solana’s high-speed, low-cost transactions continue to attract developers and users.

It added that with meme coin activity picking up again and institutional interest building, Solana could be poised for a strong rebound this month. Potential catalysts include new airdrops within the Solana ecosystem, a revival of meme coin mania, and the possibility of regulatory approval for SOL ETFs.

In a bullish scenario, DeepSeek said a “meme coin + airdrop frenzy may send SOL to as high as $200.” If Solana manages to flip $200 into support, the AI forecast a possible surge to as high as $250–$300.

Maxi Doge (MAXI)

Maxi Doge token is a meme coin presale that launched with a bang this week and has quickly surpassed $187k in funding. 

“MaxiDoge is branding itself as a ‘true Dogecoin successor’ with a focus on decentralization and meme virality,” DeepSeek said. “If it captures even a fraction of DOGE’s community hype, it could surge post-launch.” 

DeepSeek said the crypto is a “pure meme” play, whose presale presents investors with a low entry price that could result in “high upside.” 

After its launch, the meme coin could soar between 2-5X “if meme hype returns.” 

The success of the meme coin will depend on viral marketing and exchange listings, DeepSeek said.

While it warned that meme coin presales tend to fade quickly, it added that early MAXI buyers could achieve 10-50X gains if the meme coin is able to capture even 1% of Dogecoin’s hype.

Bitcoin Hyper (HYPER)

Bitcoin Hyper is a new layer-2 project that aims to take Bitcoin to the next level by increasing the number of transactions the legacy network can process. 

It will make that possible by integrating with the Solana Virtual Machine (SVM), the same engine that powers the SOL ecosystem.

“If it gains traction among BTC maximalists looking for higher-risk/higher-reward plays, it could see a strong post-listing pump,” DeepSeek said, while cautioning investors to expect some volatility.

In a best-case scenario, the AI said HYPER could emerge as a “Bitcoin 3.0,” with its price potentially spiking 5–10x in the short term. Its baseline outlook is for the token to soar 2–3x if Bitcoin remains bullish.

Best Wallet

Best Wallet was named as a dark horse candidate because of its utility and DeepSeek said if its team executes well it could compete with $306 million Trust Wallet Token. 

The project “aims to be a multi-chain wallet token with built-in swaps, staking, and ‘Web3 banking’ features,” DeepSeek said. 

“If the team delivers, Best Wallet could 5-10x,” it added.
