This week, Artificial Intelligence, DeFAI and meme Coin are expected to continue to take center stage in cryptocurrency discussions. Artificial intelligence remains at the forefront, maintaining interest despite a decline in attention, with innovations such as AI agents in cryptocurrency attracting renewed attention.
DeFAI, the combination of AI and DeFi, is gathering pace as a new trend, with key players such as GRIFFAIN and ANON at the forefront of the trend. Meme Coin, despite a rough start to 2025, could revive interest if the overall market recovers, especially for coins that have undergone the sharpest corrections.
Artificial intelligence
AI has declined from 72% to 57% in attention in the past week, but remains one of the top stories in crypto. Despite the decline, Artificial Intelligence still attracted more attention than all the other top nine stories combined.
Major AI Tokens have dropped significantly over the past seven days. RENDER is down 27%, TAO is down 28% and FET is down 26%. VIRTUAL, once the largest AI coin, is now ranked 5th, down 45%, with a market capitalization of 1.4 billion USD.
Although the AI cryptocurrency industry seems to be adjusting, it still attracts a lot of attention, which can create favorable conditions for those who have not yet entered this market. New methods like AI agents in cryptocurrency are emerging to generate new interest and keep the industry relevant.
DeFAI
DeFAI combines artificial intelligence with DeFi, with automated agents in the field handling tasks like staking and liquidity management. It is quickly becoming one of the most prominent of the latest trends in cryptocurrency.
Leading pairs in the sector include coins such as GRIFFAIN, ANON, OLAS and MOVE, which are increasingly attracting attention as the industry grows.
Although still small compared to major currencies, this trend shows great potential. GRIFFAIN, the largest coin in the sector, has a market capitalization of 295 million USD. As the excitement around the combination of AI and DeFi grows, this story could outperform the others in the coming months.
Meme Сoins
Meme Coin holds the #2 spot in terms of attention, behind only AI, and has been one of the most recognizable stories in crypto for years, but 2025 has not started well for them. All of the top 10 meme coins are down in the past seven days, with SPX and FARTCOIN losing more than 40%.
Despite this decline, meme Coin is still a prominent story in the crypto space this week. Their ability to attract significant attention suggests continued user interest, but current market conditions are not favorable for their growth.
A recovery in major coins such as BTC, ETH and SOL could spark renewed interest in meme coins. This could stimulate a rally, especially for coins that have undergone sharp corrections recently, such as SPX, FARTCOIN, PENGU, WIF and BRETT.
