Since the beginning of 2025, there has been a significant surge in activity concerning AI, reflecting increased unique active wallets and investment appeal.
Surge in AI Activity
Since the start of 2025, AI activity has jumped by 86%, now recording about 4.5 million daily unique active wallets. AI's market share has risen to 19%, nearly matching gaming's 20% dominance. This marks a notable transformation from the beginning of the year when AI accounted for only 9% of market activity within the sector.
Investments in AI Agents
According to the latest report from DappRadar, AI agent projects have secured $1.39 billion in funding so far in 2025. This figure represents a 9.4% increase from the previous year, reflecting rising investor confidence that autonomous, on-chain agents are evolving from experimental concepts to a foundational element of Web3. DappRadar noted that if this pace continues, '2025 could be the first year AI agents attract more capital than any other Web3 vertical.'
Global AI Dapp Usage Patterns
Between January and June 2025, AI dapp usage has been most prominent in Europe, contributing more than 26% of total sessions. Asia follows with 21.9%, and North America accounts for 15.8%. South America makes up just 2.5% but is showing early signs of growth. Interestingly, 33% of user sessions fall into an 'Other' category, indicating that AI dapp adoption is spreading across diverse, often unclassified regions.
The growing interest in AI agents and significant financial inflows indicate an important evolution in how we interact with decentralized systems, opening new opportunities for Web3 development.
