AI Tokens Suffer Sharp Decline, But 2025 Could Bring Recovery
- 30% drop in capitalization of AI tokens.
- Analysts expect altcoins to recover in 2025.
- AI16Z and PHA stand out in the market.
The market capitalization of artificial intelligence (AI) tokens has seen a significant decline of approximately 30%, passing from $70,4 billion in December to $50,61 billion. This decline is in line with a general decline in the cryptocurrency market, including the price of Bitcoin, which has also seen a 15% correction since its peak of $108 on December 17.
The cumulative trading volume of these tokens also fell to $4,73 billion, representing a decrease of about 11% over the past month. These figures indicate reduced interest from traders in AI-linked assets, even as excitement around AI-based innovations grows.
Despite the downturn, some tokens have stood out. The AI16Z token, for example, has maintained its resilience in the market, with a capitalization that exceeds the US$ 1,35 billion mark. In addition, the PHA token has shown significant appreciation, trading at US$ 0,4432, an increase of more than 13% in the last 24 hours, with a daily trading volume that increased by 168%, reaching US$ 878,76 million.
On the other hand, some assets performed negatively. TURBO and RENDER tokens saw price drops of 1,31% and 0,61%, respectively, with trading volumes reduced by 25% and 14% over the same period.
Analysts predict that 2025 could be a promising year for altcoins, including AI tokens. Historically, periods of Bitcoin’s appreciation have been followed by an influx of capital into smaller altcoins. With the growing attention on blockchain innovations and the expectation of clearer regulations, Ethereum and other crypto assets are expected to revisit past valuation peaks, boosting the market.
