Since the start of this bull market, artificial intelligence has been the hottest and most profitable niche market, along with meme coins. Currently, AI tokens are showing excellent buying opportunities in the market. I believe these tokens will perform well in the upcoming practical bull market and become leaders in the market.
In the first and second waves of artificial intelligence, numerous projects brought exponential returns for early investors but led to heavy losses for later investors. Each wave has different catalysts, narratives, and patterns driving the trend of artificial intelligence development.
In the first stage, most people were skeptical of this niche market, seeing it as a short-term speculation. However, they gradually shifted their focus to projects like TAO, RNDR, and AKT, which were actually adding value, had real use cases, and could drive the development of cryptocurrency × artificial intelligence. During this stage, GPU n computing-related projects like RNDR and AKT, as well as first-layer chain projects like FET and ORAI, received significant attention.
Some of these projects were listed on Binance perpetual, further fueling the AI craze and leading to a large number of liquidations, sustaining the AI speculation. When the first wave of AI speculation ended and most projects collapsed by 85%-90%, most people disposed of their AI tokens, but a few did not lose faith.
The second wave of AI started with the fall of Sam-Altman and attracted genuine attention from mainstream individuals and venture capitalists. This stage saw the emergence of many new AI projects, including tax tokens, leading to many scams.
During this stage, projects like PAAL, ENQAI, AGC, and NMT were introduced, offering exponential returns for individuals who were attentive and conducted research. One advantage of this stage is that it was not dominated by venture capital firms, but rather by retail investors on the chain.
I believe we are now in the late stages of the second wave, with most AI projects having collapsed by 80%-90% from their early stages. This is the best buying period before entering the third wave of artificial intelligence.
DEAI
A decentralized ecosystem for artificial intelligence, focused on enhancing the capabilities of developers in the AI field by providing tools and support.
Publicly known team
Continuously building new partnerships
Removing 82-90% of supply from circulation in the next 12-18 months
Market cap: 25 million
Price: 0.25
The DEAI team continues to develop and build new partnerships. They recently made significant changes to the token vesting schedule to prevent new token supply from reaching the market level before 2025-2026. I believe that DEAI could break the $2 barrier in the next wave of AI speculation.
FLT
The first decentralized cloud computing project has been supported by multicoincap and other well-known venture capital firms since 2017, with no significant unlocks until February 2025.
Market cap: 20 million
Price: 0.35
FLT is one of the most underrated AI + DEPIN projects at the moment. It has great potential to perform like AKT and RNDR. Despite minimal marketing efforts, the team has managed to build a decent community and is very active in product development.
TAO
A decentralized AI network that promotes a market-driven ecosystem for machine intelligence, assessing and incentivizing valuable work within it.
Top 2 Crypto× AI projects

Great community
Market cap: 1.9 billion
Price: 275
TAO is the leader of the Crypto× AI narrative and is, frankly speaking, the safest bet in AI. It recently listed on Binance and other top exchanges, which can inject more liquidity and drive up its price in the next wave of AI speculation. I believe RNDR and TAO will still be the top two leading AI projects.
PHA
It acts as an AI coprocessor for blockchain, using TEE to process sensitive computing off-chain, while maintaining verifiability through the blockchain.
AI agent contracts and collaborative processing

Artificial intelligence is the next major technological revolution, and I believe cryptocurrency × artificial intelligence will play a crucial role in it. Despite the cyclical nature of cryptocurrencies, people buy, sell, and profit during the cycles.
Due to lack of funding and interest, most projects suffer losses in bear markets, and most projects will slowly disappear after this bull market, with only a few surviving. Therefore, do not hesitate, and do not hold on forever, but instead profit as the trend goes.
I will bring analyses of leading projects from other tracks in the later stages. Interested individuals can follow for more. I will also regularly organize some cutting-edge information and project reviews. Welcome to join me in exploring. Feel free to comment, ask questions, or message me if you have any questions.
