**AI + Crypto Coins Surge Ahead of Memecoins**

Over the past 30 days, the AI sector in cryptocurrency has seen a notable surge, with a weighted average increase of 38%, according to Artemis. This outpaces memecoins, which rose by 20.8%. Leading the charge is Bittensor (TAO), up 120%. Other AI projects like Arkham (ARKM) and Near Protocol (NEAR) also saw gains but not as dramatic.

However, the past year tells a different story. AI + Crypto tokens are down 14.4%, while memecoins have gained 57.2%. Despite talks of a memecoin supercycle, sectors like Centralized Exchange and Real World Asset have outperformed, with gains of 77.8% and 351.4%, respectively. Bitcoin and Ethereum saw more modest increases of 40.6% and 3.8%.
