What Happened to AI Agents? The Rise, Fall & Future of AI in Crypto

"the first is near protocol that's because near is positioning itself as the leading chain for AI development and is currently working on the world's largest open-source AI models with well over 1.4 trillion parameters crazy stuff as the AI agent narrative takes off this could attract new users and developers to near protocol driving up n's price as a result"

"another example is internet computer which is infrastructure that supports decentralized onchain AI models and applications this infrastructure could become much more valuable to developers looking to create AI projects of their own and that value would translate to a pump in icp's price"

"then there's bensur which is an open- source and decentralized AI Network that allows users to contribute towards AI training as Technologies from major platforms like open Ai and deep seek improve this will cause some to look for more decentralized Alternatives bensur could be a solution and its tcoin could get a nice boost as a result"

"and this relates to another candidate render that's because render provides decentralized GPU power which is arguably more important than ever considering the recent Nvidia drama as AI Tech becomes more complex this will result in more demand for gpus and render could be a solution to this problem in many cases"

"and of course there's the artificial superintelligence Alliance not only does this project have one of the coolest names out there in our humble opinion but it also happens to combine some of the strongest crypto AI projects into one specifically fetch.ai Singularity net and ocean protocol the projects focus on decentralized AI solutions could make it a Top Choice for the AI agent ecosystem"

"with the right Catalyst not only could it recover but it could even surge to new heights for instance if we see any major improvements in AI technology this will likely spark renewed excitement in AI agents given how AI companies are basically in an arms race to build the best platform this could actually happen sooner than you might think as the tech improves and AI agents become even more capable this will spark renewed interest in the space this renewed interest will not only draw in new users and investors but also new developers and as more developers begin to build on a I agent platforms this will speed up the rate of innovation in the space"

"it's also worth noting that as retail investors become more aware of blockchain and start exploring crypto for the first time they'll be drawn to AI narrative since that's one technology they'll already be somewhat familiar with"

"another potential Catalyst which is regulation that's because clear and inclusive regulations that promote AI Innovation would give stable ground for growth this would be especially true if either governments or the private sector create initiatives to fund research and development into the AI space as this would likely result in money being funneled into these projects"

"we could also see interest in AI agents return if we see large tech companies or financial institutions adopt this technology into their businesses the same can also be said if any larger crypto projects do the same particularly if they're not already linked closely to AI That's because in either case this would further legitimize AI agents as a narrative with real potential rather than just glorified meme coins"

"clear success stories where an AI agent has either solved a real world problem or meaningfully enhanced an existing process would demonstrate their potential to deliver value across a wide range of sectors across the crypto market"

"AI agents are clearly a disruptive force and we don't yet know exactly how much value they can provide but you can bet your bottom dollar that tech companies everywhere are going to do whatever it takes to find out"

"AI agents are known as AI 2.0 given how hundreds of billions of dollars has flown into AI 1.0 we believe that AI 2.0 will proliferate more than many people expect"
