AI tokens over memecoins? The investor shift you need to know about!

  • AI Tokens have seen more growth than memecoins in the last few weeks.
  • Memecoins still hold more market capitalization despite declines.

As an analyst with years of experience observing and analyzing the crypto market, I find it intriguing to see the shift in investor attention from memecoins to AI tokens. While memecoins have been the darlings of the crypto world for a while now, it’s refreshing to see a new contender emerging on the scene.


Over the past several weeks, Artificial Intelligence-related tokens have seen remarkable expansion, mirroring the rapid growth observed with meme coins earlier in 2021. The escalating interest in AI-focused initiatives has substantially increased the market value of these tokens, signaling a change in investor preferences.

AI tokens see a boost in market capitalization

Over the past few months, AI Tokens have seen a significant surge, indicating growing trust in this field. Nowadays, investors view AI-focused projects not only as potential investments but also as promising ventures with long-term prospects.

This change has resulted in significant investment in digital currencies related to Artificial Intelligence (AI), as they have been gathering momentum due to the general enthusiasm about AI technology.

Over the past few weeks, from August 22nd up until today, an in-depth study of AI-related token market capitalizations on CoinMarketCap has indicated a substantial growth trend. Specifically, the market cap for these tokens surged from around $23 billion to more than $32 billion during this timeframe.

After hitting its highest point on the 25th of August, the market experienced a minor dip, yet it recovered and regained some strength.
