In the attention economy, hot money is pouring into hot spots. Trump is sucking blood, and AI tokens seem to be a product of the ancient times. On January 21, according to Coingecko market information, AI sector tokens rebounded from oversold prices, and the overall market value of AI agents rebounded by 4.9% in the past 24 hours. AI is expected to pick up, and this article will take you to a quick look at the market trends of the AI sector.
AI sector pulls back, token trends gradually diverge
According to Cookie.fun data, the overall market value of the AI sector (emerging AI tokens) has reached 13.6 billion, and has recovered within 24 hours. Among them, the overall market value of the AI sector under the Solana network has increased by 5% to 8 billion, and the overall market value of the Base network AI token has increased by about 3% to 5.1 billion.
In the AI sector, Infra performed well, with the overall market value rising by about 3%. SWARMS rose by 57.2% in the past 24 hours; ARC rose by about 51%. DeFAI also performed well, and tokens such as GRIFFAIN and ANON also rose slightly. BUZZ rose by 38%, approaching $100 million. The AI agent sector performed relatively averagely, with a 24-hour market value decline of about 3%, and the differentiation within the token was relatively serious. Except for the head AI agent, which rose sharply, the rest performed mediocrely.
AI sector has undiminished potential
In the past few weeks when the AI sector has been quiet, there has still been a lot of progress in AI projects.
Virtuals Protocol announced an update to its value accumulation mechanism to support Virtuals ecosystem builders. Swarms provides 10 million tokens as an ecological fund to recruit ecological project partners and provide technical, marketing and agent infrastructure support. Its founder Kye Gomez also said that Swarms will launch more new features, including seamless agent creation; real-time chat and API; usage tracking, etc.
AI16Z has launched a plan to extend to Near and Avalanche. Holoworld officially announced Launchpool and granted AVA holders the right to stake, which will allow them to receive ecological rewards from three new project pools. AIXBT has always been the top of Kaito's attention list. Major AI projects are flourishing, and they continue to exert their strength after losing the craze brought by the attention economy. The rebound after the oversell is also very impressive.
According to Messari’s forecast, by the end of 2025, it is expected that 90% of on-chain transactions will no longer be manually operated by real people, but will be completed by a group of artificial intelligence agents. These intelligent agents can not only make micropayments based on real-time data, but also continuously optimize liquidity pools and reasonably distribute rewards, thereby achieving more efficient and intelligent operations.
The AI era seems to be coming. Nvidia CEO once said: "The era of AI Agentics has arrived," and said that this emerging field contains "trillions of dollars of business opportunities." eGirl Capital members believe that "AI tokens will become a new type of meme." It is estimated that if Web3 AI agents can capture a market share similar to the Bitcoin/gold ratio, it will capture a market value of $100 billion, and there is still room for ten times growth from the current 10 billion. From this perspective, the emerging AI sector still has a lot of room for development.
