Despite optimistic expectations that more favorable regulation for cryptocurrencies 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. CoinMarketCap data shows that as of 7:15 AM UTC, the cumulative market value of AI cryptocurrencies stands at $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, falling nearly 11% in 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 has occurred amid a broader downtrend in the cryptocurrency market, with Bitcoin's price experiencing a correction of over 14% from its all-time high of over $108,000 on December 17. Notably, an increasing number of analysts expect that 2025 will bring an altcoin season, during which profits from Bitcoin may flow into smaller cryptocurrencies, including AI tokens.
