According to Odaily, crypto trader DeFi^2 recently shared insights on X regarding the state of artificial intelligence (AI) projects within the cryptocurrency sector. DeFi^2 noted that during the early stages of the current market cycle, AI in the crypto space was too nascent to focus on practical applications, leading to the prevalence of vaporware AI projects. However, DeFi^2 believes that the current market environment is more conducive to solidifying more legitimate projects as future blue-chip assets, potentially in the infrastructure and/or mainstream AI Layer 1 (L1) sectors.
