The sector added 9.2% to its market capitalization (mcap) this week, adding almost $2.4 billion to bring the total to $27.8 billion.
As it stands, around 89% of the top 100 AI tokens by mcap are in the green this week, with some of the best performers tacking on more than 50% in this time.
Some of this week’s standout projects include:
- Tagger (TAG): +92.4% (after being added to Binance Alpha)
- AI Companions (AIC): +96.1%
- tokenbot (CLANKER): +62.6%
- Echelon Prime (PRIME): +31.6%
- KAITO (KAITO): +27.2% (ahead of rumored launchpad plans)
A similar story is seen in the AI Agents subsector. Most prominent AI agent tokens are in the green this week, but gains and trading volumes are low in comparison to the broader AI sector.
BOTIFY (BOTIFY) and Game by Virtuals (GAME) stand out among AI agent tokens, with a 71.8% and 48.2% seven-day gain, respectively. Meanwhile, Fartcoin (FARTCOIN) is up 22.1%.
A small cohort of AI tokens failed to benefit from the broader market recovery. Some of this week's worst performers include:
- Sahara AI (SAHARA): -72.3%
- Newton Protocol (NEWT): -24%
- SUPRA (SUPRA): -17.3%
- Aethir (ATH): -7%
- Treasure (MAGIC): -6.8%
Despite the growth, the AI sector still lags behind others in terms of seven-day performance. The NFT applications sector currently leads the market with a 17.2% increase in fully diluted mcap this week, while the Data Availability Layer sector is the worst performer, with a 34.7% decline.
