Odaily Planet Daily News Although there are optimistic expectations that more favorable regulations for cryptocurrency in 2025 will drive the arrival of altcoin season, the cumulative market value of the artificial intelligence (AI) cryptocurrency sector has shrunk by nearly one-third. According to CoinMarketCap data, as of 7:15 AM UTC, the cumulative market value of AI cryptocurrencies is $50.5 billion, down over 28% from the peak of $70.4 billion reached on December 7. The cumulative trading volume of AI tokens has also declined, dropping nearly 11% over the past month to the current $4.73 billion, perhaps indicating a decrease in trader interest in such cryptocurrencies. According to data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro, nearly 30% of the decline in AI cryptocurrencies occurred during the broader downward trend in the cryptocurrency market, with the price of Bitcoin experiencing a correction of over 14% from its historical high of over $108,000 on December 17. It is worth mentioning that an increasing number of analysts expect that altcoin season will arrive in 2025, at which point profits from Bitcoin may flow into smaller cryptocurrencies, including AI tokens.
