AI Tokens Take Center Stage Among Memecoins, Spurring Cryptocurrency Market Growth in 2024
In a financial landscape where Bitcoin is the undisputed king, memecoins have danced engagingly enough to grab the limelight for a spell. Yet, lurking in the shadows, bucking the trend and exceeding expectations, artificial intelligence or AI tokens have ushered in a stellar performance in the first trading quarter of the year 2024.
Over the weekend, the cryptocurrency market recovered from the May 1 drop, with AI tokens surprisingly leading the pack with significant profit increases. This vibrant showing has led industry experts to hail a second round of growth for this cycle, poised precariously on the pivot of AI tokens.

Bitcoin, memecoin and now AI tokens have set tongues wagging in the cryptocurrency market incessantly. AI tokens have weathered the run, pushing the market to stunning fiscal highs during the peaks of this cycle.
The report from popular crypto data tracking service CoinGecko confirmed this observation, marking AI as one of the powerhouse sectors of the triumvirate that unfailingly delivered triple-digit returns in the first quarter. The biggest contributor to this windfall was the market capitalization leader of AI tokens, Fetch.ai (FET), which recorded a staggering growth of 378.3% during the defined period.
Famous cryptocurrency trader John Walsh, known in trading circles as CryptoGodJohn, firmly believes that AI tokens are preparing for a spectacular second act. According to him, developments in Nvidia’s earnings, Apple’s artificial intelligence and Microsoft’s $100 billion AI fund, all together, portend a future windfall.
Crypto analyst MacroCRG agrees with his prediction, imagining enormous growth for AI, so astonishing in its scope that it could only be appreciated as a foregone conclusion in hindsight. An industry with a market capitalization of just $27.3 billion is very promising, he implies.
In a recent conversation, MacroCRG revealed that AI’s market capitalization increased by an impressive 8% on Monday morning, with daily trading volume of around $1.9 billion. On Tuesday, the market capitalization reached $27.8 billion, up 2.3% in just 24 hours.
Memecoins, on the other hand, boasted a market capitalization that reached $54.4 billion, nearly double that of AI. However, they recorded a 2.8% decline over the past day, showing a disappointing drop in the top ten memecoins over the previous 24 hours.
Despite the remarkable performance of artificial intelligence, there is an air of uncertainty that ruins predictions about the future of the sector. According to memecoin trader Murad, the continued evolution of the industry could lead to a reduction in jobs, causing public anxiety and a race against time to achieve financial security.
This push could potentially catalyze the memecoin sector, as Murad shared: “The growth of AI capabilities will be one of the big forces accelerating the memecoin bubble.”
Financial titan Warren Buffett is skeptical about this new fusion of technology and finance. “Just as nuclear weapons were a revolutionary genius that we released, so is artificial intelligence,” he warned. However, he admitted the potential that AI technology has to effect global positive change.
Crypto analyst Alex Wacy is more optimistic and predicts a multibillion-dollar boom in the AI industry. The diverse applications of AI, coupled with growing interest, could become a game changer in the market, redefining value and scale. He estimated that the market will reach almost $2 trillion by 2030 and stressed that the cryptocurrency industry should not ignore it out of hand.
Tokens like RNDR have shown notable performance over the past week, up 45%. Last week RNDR made a triumphant return by reclaiming the $10 support zone after a tense struggle. The price of this token increased by 6.4% in the last 24 hours, along with a 16.8% increase in daily trading volume, having traded over $455 million during this period.
According to John Walsh, FET, being a major player in the AI token space, is ideally positioned for Nvidia’s gains. After a successful retest of the resistance level at $2.35, Walsh expects this token to break out to new fiscal highs. FETs bravely managed to break out of this level over the weekend, leveling off as low as $2.50 on Monday and maintaining a stable position above the $2.40 support zone ever since.
At the time of reporting, the token is trading at $2.42, meaning a 2.4% increase in the last 24 hours and an exceptional 22.9% increase in the last week – a breathtaking testament to its unyielding resilience and its promising future.
