While Bitcoin and Ethereum are still hesitating, some AI-driven altcoins are quietly gaining strength.
The bull market wave of 2025 may be ignited first by these 'behind-the-scenes players'.
[01] Virtuals Protocol | AI character evolution device | Estimated to rise 42 times
Not building a chain, not issuing images, but creating on-chain AI digital life.
Virtuals allow any developer to create, train, and deploy AI characters, embedding them like plugins in games, the metaverse, or applications.
Every AI model can be tokenized, tracked, and rewarded.
Current market value: 1.2 billion, the next round could surge 42 times.
[02] NetMind Token | 'Sharing Economy' of GPUs | Estimated to rise 133 times
Turning AI computing power into a resource market that 'everyone can buy and sell',
NMT makes your idle GPU no longer gather dust, but provides fuel for AI projects on-chain.
By providing computing power, users can receive token rewards while lowering the barriers for AI development.
Current market value: 30 million, with potential up to 133 times.
[03] Neural | AI factory for 3D assets | Estimated to rise 100 times
Input a sentence, output a 3D model,
Neural is not just a tool, but an AI-driven content economy system.
Combining TAO mining, GPU leasing, and decentralized markets to fully solve the AI + 3D pain points.
Current market value: 30 million, the outbreak potential of the bull market may reach 100 times.
[04] Akash Network | 'Computing Power Freedom' of decentralized cloud | Estimated to rise 100 times
Akash built on Cosmos relies not on hard advertising, but on 'hard computing power'.
Offering faster and cheaper computing services than traditional cloud, reallocating idle resources globally.
It is not a replacement for cloud, but the standard of decentralized cloud.
Current market value: 300 million, expected to reach a hundredfold growth.
[05] Phala Network | AI agents without human management | Estimated to rise 50 times
Building a 'self-operating AI' system to construct an ecosystem of on-chain AI agents.
Supports privacy protection, verifiable execution, and decentralized deployment,
Can also integrate mainstream AI tools such as GPT-4 and AutoGPT.
Current market value: 100 million, aiming to be the underlying operating system for decentralized AI.
[Summary]
5 projects, 5 paths,
Some create AI characters, some build AI factories, some sell computing power, and some set up platforms.
They represent the most underestimated trend in the crypto world: AI-driven protocols.
Opportunities are never in trending searches,
While hiding in corners that are misunderstood, ignored, but quietly growing.
