Artificial Intelligence has been the hottest and most profitable niche since the beginning of this bull run, along with meme coins. Currently, AI tokens present an excellent buying opportunity in the market. I believe these tokens will outperform in the upcoming utility bull run and become market leaders.

In the first and second waves of artificial intelligence, many projects brought exponential returns to early investors, but caused heavy losses to latecomers.

Each wave has different sub-catalysts, narratives, and models that drive the development trend of artificial intelligence.

In the first phase, people were negative about this niche, viewing it as a short-term hype. Most people forgot about it until they came across projects like TAO, RNDR and AKT that were actually adding value and had real use cases that could advance the crypto × AI space. GPU n compute related projects like RNDR and AKT, as well as AI layer 1 chains like FET and ORAI, were highly hyped during this phase.

Some of these projects were perpetually listed on Binance, which further fueled the AI ​​craze and led to a large number of liquidations, helping the AI ​​hype to continue. When the first wave of AI ended and most projects collapsed by 85%-90%, most people dumped their AI tokens, but there were still a few who did not lose faith.

The second wave of AI began with the fall of Sam-Altman, which attracted real attention from mainstream individuals and venture capital. During this phase, many new AI projects emerged, including tax tokens, which led to many scams.

During this phase, projects such as PAAL, ENQAI, AGC, and NMT were launched one after another, providing exponential returns to individuals who paid attention and conducted research. One benefit of this phase is that it is not led by venture capital firms, but by retail investors on the chain.

I think we are at the end of the second wave, and most AI projects have collapsed 80%-90% from their start-up phase. This is the best buying period before entering the third wave of AI.

Safe and sound strategy

DEAI

A decentralized AI ecosystem focused on empowering developers in the field of AI by providing tools and support.

Publicly identified team

Continuously building new partnerships

Remove 82-90% of circulating supply in the next 12-18 months

Market value: 25 million

Price: 0.25

The DEAI team continues to grow and form new partnerships. They recently made a significant change to the token vesting schedule, preventing the new token supply from reaching market levels until 2025-2026. I believe DEAI is in the next wave of AI and it could break the $2 mark.

FLT

The first decentralized cloudless computing project has been under construction since 2017 and is backed by Multicoincap and other prominent VCs, with no significant unlocking until February 2025.

Market value: 20 million

Price: 0.35

FLT is one of the most underrated AI + DEPIN projects out there. It has great potential to perform like AKT and RNDR. Even though the team has done very little marketing, it has managed to build a decent community and the team is very active in product development.

PERSON

A decentralized AI network that facilitates a market-driven ecosystem for machine intelligence where valuable work is evaluated and incentivized by peers.

TAO is the leader of the Crypto × AI narrative and IMHO it is the safest bet in AI. It has also recently been listed on Binance and other top exchanges, which can inject more liquidity and push up its price in the next wave of artificial intelligence. I believe RNDR and TAO will remain the top two leading AI projects.

PHASE

It acts as an AI co-processor for the blockchain, utilizing TEE to process sensitive computations off-chain while maintaining verifiability through the blockchain

Artificial intelligence is the next big technological revolution, and I believe that cryptocurrencies × AI will play a big role in it. Although cryptocurrencies operate in cycles, people buy, sell, and profit in cycles.

Most projects suffered losses in the bear market due to lack of funds and interest, and most projects will slowly die out after this bull market, with only a very small number of projects surviving. So don’t be too talkative, and don’t hold on to your money forever and take advantage of the situation to make a profit.
