What’s new? According to aggregator CoinGecko, tokens tied to artificial intelligence agents such as AI Rig Complex (ARC), ElizaOS (AI16Z), and Virtuals (VIRTUAL) have lost roughly 75-90% of their market capitalization since January. Coins that showed huge growth in Q4 2024 were among those hit hardest by the crypto market downturn that began in January.

What else is known? According to CoinGecko data, the overall cryptocurrency market capitalization is down nearly 16% from its highs in January.

A crypto trader and analyst under the nickname ElonMoney stated in his X account that the charts of AI16Z, ARC, and even Fartcoin are showing a downtrend and many believe that these tokens will never recover to previous levels.

The AI-related meme token Fartcoin was one of the most popular tokens of 2024, but it has fallen about 65% in the last 30 days to reach a capitalization of $430 million. Overall, the capitalization of the AI agent token segment has collectively fallen more than 40%, from $10 billion to $6 billion.

On January 18, Trump launched his meme coin Official TRUMP (TRUMP), which saw its market capitalization grow to about $80 billion within a day of launch. Crypto traders believe TRUMP diverted liquidity and attention away from other new tokens, including meme coins and AI agent tokens.

Trump also caused panic in the market when he threatened to impose 25% duties on Canada and Mexico, the largest trading partners of the United States. In the crypto markets afterward, tokens tied to small new projects were particularly hard hit.

Nevertheless, traders are optimistic about the long-term potential of AI tokens. ElonMoney notes that ElizaOS and Rig have strong teams, many high-profile partnerships, and integration with large projects and blockchains.
