BeInCrypto analyzed the stories that brought AI crypto to the fore in 2024, but also the direction they could take in 2025.
AI agents have made a name for themselves
One of the most interesting stories about AI was the story of AI agents. AI agents are intelligent systems designed to analyze their environment, make informed decisions, and act to achieve defined goals. In an interview with BeInCrypto, Nicolai Sondergaard, research analyst at Nansen, described the potential of these tokens in 2025.
“An important trend to anticipate is the increasing use of AI agents across industries of all sizes. These agents can be used to interact with customers, analyze data, and generate images or content. This technology is particularly beneficial for small businesses that cannot afford human expertise throughout the process. AI agents would take over most of the tasks and leave the final quality control to humans,” Sondergaard explained to BeInCrypto.
One of the AI cryptos emerging in this category would be Virtuals Protocol (VIRTUAL), which saw a year-over-year increase of 6,359%. This rise has taken the altcoin from a low of $0.029 to $3.22 at the time of writing.
Going forward, this growth is expected to continue and push VIRTUAL higher. That’s assuming investors don’t rush to sell quickly. Profit taking could lead to a decline below the $2.021 support. In the worst case, this AI crypto could even fall back to $0.502.
Same corners AI: still the same corners
The demand for meme coins has not spared AI either. This was particularly visible with AI cryptocurrencies associated with the same coins as Turbo (TURBO). This coin has seen an increase of 3000% since the beginning of the year. In recent weeks, the altcoin has decided to lateralize. However, it may see a break above $0.0134 soon.
The AI meme coin narrative craze has also pushed names like Act 1: The AI Prophecy (ACT), Goatseus Maximus (GOAT) and Fartcoin (FARTCOIN) to the fore. Due to the high demand and frenzy, FARTCOIN even managed to reach a market capitalization of $1.15 billion.
So as we approach 2025, the two stories that generate the most interest (AI and meme coins) continue to find demand both individually and as a duo. More AI cryptos and even coins could be coming soon.
DePIN AI cryptocurrency
While AI crypto and DePIN have their own categories in the crypto market, The Last Named is also riding the AI wave. The DePIN narrative had a significant impact on the crypto space in the second half of the year.
The positive impact of this narrative can be seen in the AIOZ network’s AIOZ token, which has seen a 569% increase in just 12 months. This DePIN cryptocurrency even managed to break the dollar before dropping a few cents.
With the AI-DePIN mix growing, it will be interesting to see how far it can progress in 2025. AIOZ could be a key token in this category with 100% of its supply in circulation.
Even if the chart is bullish, on the other hand, a loss of $0.92 support can be very tricky. This could cause the asset to drop very low to $0.55. This would completely invalidate the bullish outlook, leading to losses for AIOZ investors.
Moral of the story: moving into a new year is all about choices and resolutions.
