In 2025, the cryptocurrency market feels familiar. Despite predictions of new trends, AI tokens and memecoins remain dominant forces. According to CoinGecko, these assets capture 62.8% of investor attention in the first quarter. This raises questions: will the market continue recycling old successes, or is there a deeper shift at play? AI tokens, particularly those integrating predictive models like Cortex and SingularityNET, lead the pack with 35.7% global interest, demonstrating their integration into blockchain technology and real-world applications. However, this serious focus persists alongside speculation. Some cryptocurrencies, lacking practical utility, are riding the AI wave, highlighting the sector’s struggle to distinguish genuine innovation from hype.
