Traders Exhibit Cautious Optimism Toward AI Tokens, CoinGecko Survey Reveals

According to data from CoinGecko, nearly half of surveyed cryptocurrency users have a favorable view of AI tokens.

Specifically, 46.9% of market participants expressed a positive sentiment towards crypto products that utilize artificial intelligence. Among them, 19.9% are «somewhat bullish,» while 27% categorize themselves as simply «bullish.»

On the other hand, 29% of respondents maintained a neutral stance, and the remaining 24.1% expressed a negative outlook.

The sentiments toward AI tokens mirror this trend. It appears that investors are not necessarily aligned on the investment potential of these assets as compared to the technology itself.

«Such market sentiments may indicate expectations that it’s time for crypto-AI to transition from the conceptual phase into a mature sector,» emphasized CoinGecko.

The study involved 2,632 users, including:

— 53% are experiencing their first market cycle (defined as having been in the industry for up to three years).
— 34% are in their second cycle (four to seven years),
— while the rest have over eight years of experience.

The survey was conducted between February 20 and March 10.

It’s worth noting that in February, experts from Swiss crypto bank Sygnum Bank identified AI tokens as a potentially significant trend for 2025, though they are still considered speculative assets at this stage.

Changpeng Zhao, founder of Binance, believes that not every AI agent requires its own token.
