AI agent tokens were among the leading trends in the crypto market. However, they are now losing momentum and market capitalization.
The Rise and Fall of AI Agent Tokens
A few months ago, AI agent tokens surpassed memecoins by market cap. On January 15, 2025, their peak market capitalization reached $20.45 billion. Since then, the market has seen a decline of over $14.23 billion.
Market Capitalization and Launch Decline
According to Cooki.fun, the current market cap of AI agent tokens stands at $6.22 billion, with a 5% drop in the last 24 hours. Dune Analytics also found a sharp decrease in the number of AI agent launches on the Virtuals platform: from 1,300 pairs in November to less than 20 this month.
The Future of the AI Agent Trend
While the innovation at the intersection of AI and crypto continues, AI agent tokens are losing ground. Leading tokens like FET and Virtual have dropped 75-90% in market cap. Whether this is due to the broader crypto market downturn or AI agents have truly lost their momentum remains unclear.
The AI agent token market faces significant challenges. It remains to be seen whether this technology will make a comeback or fade into obscurity.
