A recent survey by CoinGecko revealed that nearly half of cryptocurrency experts are optimistic about the price of crypto-AI tokens - which could bode well for the $23.60 billion cryptocurrency market segment. Of the 2,632 respondents surveyed between February and March, 25% were "completely optimistic" and 19.3% were "somewhat optimistic" about crypto-AI tokens in 2025. About 29% of respondents were neutral, while a combined 26.3% were "somewhat pessimistic" or "pessimistic". Yuqian Lim, a cryptocurrency research analyst at CoinGecko, said that when it comes to crypto AI products, the survey results are similar because the use cases of combining cryptocurrencies with AI have improved and are gaining wider adoption, which may suggest that cryptocurrency participants are not differentiating between the investment or trading potential of crypto AI and the technology itself. This market sentiment may in turn reflect that it is time for crypto AI to move beyond the concept stage and mature as a sector.
