In 2025, the crypto universe resembles a cinematographic scene where the same actors return, despite the expectations of a new scenario. According to Coingecko, the AI tokens and the same captivates still 62.8 % of the attention of investors in the first quarter. Is a domination that questions: would the market be condemned to recycle its old successes, or does this persistence hide a subtle mutation?
IA and Mamecoins: an improbable but tenacious duo in the crypto sphere
With 35.7 % of world interest, AI tokens led to the lead. Far from the simple media threw, they embody a convergence between blockchain and technological innovations.
Projects like Cortex and Singularitynet redefine intelligent contracts by integrating predictive models, while others collaborate with tech giants to optimize the analysis of decentralized data.
However, behind these cases of serious use, a speculative frenzy persists. Some cryptos, devoid of real usefulness, surf the enthusiasm for AI, recalling that the sector still struggles to distinguish gold from pyrite.
The same, with 27.1 % of preferences, confirm their status as an undeniable cultural phenomenon. In January 2025, Donald Trump's team launched Trump and Melania on Solana, fueling a pre-initial euphoria.
These active ingredients, often mocked for their superficiality, reveal a raw truth: the crypto remains an emotional playground, where the political or humorous narrative takes precedence over technicality.
But this vitality has a cost. Solana (soil), in a fall of 48 % in three months, illustrates how the same as capital intended for utility projects, creating a paradox between virality and real value.
If the AI and the same seem opposite, their coexistence reveals the two faces of the crypto: one turned towards the future, the other anchored in the moment. Bobby NGO, of Coingeckosummarizes this ambivalence: “We are tired of the same trends, but they reflect our contradictory expectations. »» A tension between patience and impulsiveness that still structures the market.
Consequences: between erosion and opportunities
The predominance of old stories slows down the emergence of new trends. Investors, tired but cautious, take refuge in what they know, delaying the adoption of innovative protocols.
Result ? A seemingly dynamic, but paradoxically stagnant crypto ecosystem. The developers of utility projects, such as those gravitating around the IoT or the DEFI, struggle to capture funds, muffled by the media noise of the same.
The collapse of the Libra token, approved by Argentinian president Javier Milei, marked a turning point. In a few hours, $ 4 billion evaporated, causing generalized mistrust.
Memecoins deployments on Pump.fun dropped by 56.3 %, and the success rate of tokens increased to 0.7 %. However, despite this crash, some traders continue to bet.
A striking example: an investor transformed $ 2,000 into 43 million thanks to Pepe (Pepe), although it misses the summit, thus illustrating the dilemma between audacity and prudence. However, this logic of Casino threatens the credibility of the sector. Conversely, AI tokens, although speculative, are based on a long -term vision. Their success will depend on their ability to materialize.
