Artificial intelligence is rapidly infiltrating everyday blockchain interactions — from decentralized finance to gaming companions. But while user activity is skyrocketing, the value of AI tokens is tumbling. Are we witnessing the next crypto bubble?
🚀 86% Surge in Usage, but Prices Are Falling
According to a June report by DappRadar, AI agent activity in the Web3 ecosystem has soared by 86% since January, reaching a record 4.5 million unique wallets per day. That gives AI a 19% share of total Web3 activity — nearly on par with the historically dominant gaming sector.
Users are becoming increasingly reliant on automation. AI agents are emerging as a new interface between humans and blockchain — assisting traders, enhancing gameplay, and powering social bots. Yet, investor sentiment hasn't kept pace.
📉 AI Token Market Cap Drops by 64%
Despite this rapid adoption, the total market capitalization of AI tokens has plummeted from $16.6 billion to $5.9 billion. Tokens like FET, AGIX, and OCEAN have seen steep declines, even as daily trading volumes hover around $1.4 billion.
Interestingly, investment into AI agent projects remains strong. With $1.39 billion raised so far in 2025, AI-focused initiatives have already surpassed the entire 2024 investment total. Platforms like Virtuals Protocol have launched over 17,000 agents since last November — averaging 85 new agents daily.
🌍 Where Is AI on the Blockchain Used Most?
🔹 Matchain leads infrastructure with 1.9 million daily users
🔹 Followed by opBNB and Nebula
🔹 Europe, Asia, and North America are the top three regions for AI dApp usage — highlighting strong global demand
⚠️ A Warning About Token Hype
DappRadar issued a clear warning: many so-called AI tokens are more marketing gimmick than functional tech. While some support automation or staking, others offer little more than a trendy label.
The report highlights a "low signal-to-noise ratio," where speculative coins outpace meaningful innovation. Many tokens are simply meme coins riding the AI wave, lacking real use cases.
🤖 AI in Crypto: The Future or Just Overhyped?
Web3 stands at a crossroads. Usage metrics for AI agents are rising — yet token prices are falling. Will utility catch up to the hype? Or is this another flash in the crypto pan?
One thing is clear: the market is watching closely to see if AI can deliver on its promise, or if it's just another shiny distraction dressed up in code.
