44% expect crypto AI tokens to grow in 2025

A recent CoinGecko survey found that 44% of respondents are optimistic about the future prices of crypto AI tokens, reflecting growing confidence in the sector.  

The survey, conducted between February and March with 2,632 participants, showed that 25% were “fully bullish,” while 19.3% were “somewhat bullish” about crypto AI tokens in 2025.

Around 29% remained neutral, and 26.3% were either somewhat bearish or bearish.  

According to CoinGecko research analyst Yuqian Lim, “use cases combining crypto with AI have improved and are seeing more widespread adoption.”

He added, “This perhaps shows that crypto participants are not differentiating between crypto AI’s investing or trading potential and the technology itself.”  

Market sentiment was similar regarding crypto AI products, suggesting that investors see the technology’s potential beyond speculation.

The report indicated that early adopters, labeled as "innovators," had a higher share of bearish sentiment compared to later adopters, while “laggards” were the most sceptical.  

CoinGecko’s data shows that the top artificial intelligence tokens have a combined market capitalisation of $23.6 billion, with Near Protocol, Internet Computer, and Bittensor leading the sector.

A separate group of AI agent tokens, including Artificial Super Intelligence and Virtuals Protocol, hold a combined market cap of $4.5 billion.  

Spencer Farrar, a partner at AI and crypto-focused venture capital firm Theory Ventures, noted that the sector is in its early stages.

“Things tend to start off like this in the open-source world; you see a ton of tinkering, and then perhaps we’ll see something really big come of it,” he stated.

Farrar pointed to areas of potential growth, including decentralised GPU provider protocols, blockchain-based AI authentication, and crypto trading bots.
