The crypto AI sector is once again proving hot, with Virtuals Protocol soaring 33% today and several other tokens up over 100% this week.
AI-based cryptocurrencies focus on a wide range of applications, ranging from providing GPU power to autonomously navigating financial markets.
The AI space saw a tremendous boom in 2024, and recent history indicates that, once again, AI coins could present a massive opportunity this year.
With that in mind, here are the best AI crypto coins to buy now:
Virtuals Protocol
Virtuals Protocol is an AI agent launchpad that allows anyone to create their own agent with a couple of lines of text.
For the uninitiated, an AI agent is an AI algorithm that can autonomously make decisions. It’s an evolution of AI language models, which can respond to prompts, but cannot make sequential actions without human oversight.
AI agents are often optimized for effectiveness in a particular field. For instance, Virtuals Protocol has an AI agent called aixbt that provides insights on crypto market moves. And it has another called G.A.M.E, which interoperates with other AI agents to allow them to trade and transact.
The platform also has several upcoming agent launches. One is for an agent that can identify arbitrage trading opportunities, and another is for one that can write and critique code.
Virtuals Protocol is the largest AI agent-focused cryptocurrency on the market, so its price will likely continue rising as the sector grows.
As mentioned, it has gained 33% today, reflecting massive market appeal and paving the way for continued growth in the months ahead.
MIND of Pepe
MIND of Pepe is a Pepe-themed AI agent that can launch its own tokens and identify trading opportunities for its community.
The wide range of capabilities makes MIND of Pepe stand out against other crypto AI agents.
It will scan social media and blockchain data to spot trends and identify gaps in the market. It will then share potential trading opportunities with its community and launch its own crypto projects to fill gaps.
It’s a setup that could not just reshape how users interact with market data, but also how the market evolves. Rather than humans creating cryptos based on what they think the market needs, AI algorithms could calculate exactly where the market’s attention lies and then launch relevant projects to maximize impact.
The project is undergoing a presale and has raised $8.5 million so far.
Given its early stage and strong use case, the MIND of Pepe presale could prove one of the best opportunities on the market right now.
Akash Network
As demand for AI rises, one resource is turning into modern-day oil: GPU power.
It’s the lifeblood to train and operate AI models, and it’s scarce.
Due to the rising demand for computing power, GPU chip manufacturer Nvidia has proved the best-performing stock of the last decade, and GPU crypto networks are riding the bullish wave.
Akash Network is one of the crypto projects providing a decentralized network for trading GPU power. It allows anyone to plug in and offer computing power to earn revenue, and it also provides huge advantages for developers, too.
AI developers have access to a scalable pool of GPU power with prices up to 85% lower than those of hyperscale cloud providers.
The project is built on the Cosmos Hub, which allows it to connect with over 50 other blockchains, including Injective Protocol, Celestia, and Fetch.ai.
This means that any new advancements in Cosmos’ AI sector will likely bolster demand for $AKT.
Story
Indeed, AI technology is changing the world as we know it, but it’s not all for the better.
One of the major issues that AI models face right now is intellectual property disputes. AI models are trained on data, much of which comes from the Internet. However, not all of that data can be reused for commercial purposes, which leads to IP infringements.
Story aims to solve this problem. It’s a layer 1 blockchain that allows AI developers to purchase IP rights from creators and artists to train their models on.
The project has already partnered with several K-Pop bands, which illustrates it’s gaining real-world traction.
According to the project’s website, the IP market is worth $61 trillion. Story aims to tokenize this market and serve it to the AI sector.
At the crux of two huge industries, Story is well-positioned for success as AI crypto prices rise.
