<p>It must be said that AI has emerged as the dominant force. It accounted for 11.3% of the overall crypto interest. Analysts attribute this surge in interest to the momentum gained by promotional efforts for this particular technology, especially since the launch of ChatGPT.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.coingecko.com/research/publications/most-popular-crypto-narratives" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">In this context</a>, AI cryptos like Akash Network (AKT) and Render (RNDR) have recorded substantial gains, reaching peaks that are respectively 13 and 12 times their prices on January 1, 2023.</p>
<p>In the same vein, GameFi has made a strong comeback, claiming 10.5% of the crypto interest in 2023. During this period, the GameFi crypto segment experienced significant growth, with ImmutableX (IMX) standing out as the most performant GameFi asset.</p>
