They ranked 26th and 28th. In addition, RENDER, ranked 33rd in market capitalization, rose 27.8%, and Bittensor (TAO), ranked 38th, rose 21%. “Father of Chat GPT” Sam
WorldCoin (WLD), one of Oltmann's best-known cryptocurrencies, rose about 19% on the 6th and is up 24% from the previous week.
Nvidia hit a new record high on the 6th (local time), and it is speculated that AI-themed coins are also continuing to perform strongly.
At CES 2025, the company unveiled Cosmos, an AI development platform for robots and autonomous driving. Some analysts say the bullishness of the AI theme from NVIDIA will continue for a while.
"AI meme coin" is rising at a much larger rate. AI meme coin is literally a combination of AI and meme coin, and AI agents issue meme coins.

As a result, the cryptocurrency market is also paying attention to whether another "AI theme boom" will occur. AI theme coins were created in March last year, when Bitcoin first surpassed 100 million won (about 10.87 million yen).
When it broke through, it rose by a larger margin than Bitcoin. For example, World Coin, which is currently trading at around 3,700 won (about 402 yen), was trading at around 13,000 won (about 1,414 yen) at the time.
However, the AI bubble theory has been raised, and many AI-themed coins have now given up their gains. Will AI-themed coins show signs of strength again in this year's cryptocurrency bull market?
First of all, interest in the "AI narrative" in the cryptocurrency market has been on the rise again since the end of last year.
AI will dominate the cryptocurrency market narrative through 2024, according to Web3 information platform Kaito
In particular, in November of last year, it accounted for 45% of the total narratives, indicating that interest in AI in the cryptocurrency market has started to grow again since the end of the year.
However, last year, there was only growing expectation for the combination of AI and blockchain, but there were no clear practical use cases.
As a result, the prevailing view is that this year will be dominated by projects that combine AI and blockchain technology to demonstrate real-world use cases.
Lee Seong-yeon, a researcher at the Cobit Research Center, recently wrote in his report "Virtual Asset Market Outlook for 2025" that "AI-related trends such as Arweave, Patch, and Thegraph will be in the spotlight in early 2024.
"The price of tokens soared, and investors' expectations for the combination of blockchain and AI increased," he said. "However, at the time, the price increase was based on expectations, not actual use cases.
Next, he predicted that practical use cases such as AI agents would be in the spotlight. AI agents are programs that perform tasks autonomously without human intervention, and
This can have a synergistic effect with smart contracts on blockchain, as smart contracts transparently record the actions of AI agents and help improve their performance.
The "AI meme coin" project run by AI Agent has already risen significantly. Gottheus Maximus (GOAT) has been listed on Korean exchanges such as Bithumb.
A prime example is the 7,000% surge in value of the coin in a short period of time after its release in October last year. This AI meme coin bullishness is expected to continue this year.
However, some believe the AI meme coin bull market will continue for a while and then end around the end of this year.
Haseeb Qureshi, managing director at Dragonfly Capital, said through X that “the AI agent (used in meme coins) is
"Most of them are chatbots with meme coins attached, and they do little to act as agents other than posting text to X," he said, adding, "AI meme coin fever will reach 2025
"It will probably continue into the future, but will fade away around the end of the year."
