Crypto AI Agents To Watch In 2025

AI agents became tremendously popular in 2024, and for good reason. These are intelligent systems that assess their surroundings, make decisions based on data, and take actions to meet specific goals. Nicolai Sondergaard, Research Analyst at Nansen, shared his insights on the future of AI agents and which ones to watch out for in 2025.

Virtuals Protocol

One of the most prominent examples of an AI token gaining traction this year is Virtuals Protocol (VIRTUAL), which has surged by a staggering 10,359% year-to-date. This growth has seen the token rise to over $3.1 at the time of writing.
Moving forward, analysts expect continued growth for VIRTUAL, assuming investors do not sell prematurely. This is because profit-taking could lead to a drop below the $2.021 support level, potentially sending the token crashing down to $0.502.

AI Meme Coins
The AI trend has even infiltrated the meme coin market, with tokens like Turbo (TURBO) posting a remarkable 3,000% increase year-to-date. Despite some sideways movement in recent weeks, TURBO could soon experience a breakout, potentially surpassing the $0.0134 mark.
The AI meme coin trend has also elevated coins like Act 1: The AI Prophecy (ACT), Goatseus Maximus (GOAT), and Fartcoin (FARTCOIN) to new heights. Due to the high demand and speculation, FARTCOIN even reached a market cap of $1.15 billion. Looking ahead to 2025, as both AI and meme coins continue to generate interest, it is likely we will see more AI meme coins emerging in the market.

AI-DePIN
While AI and DePIN are distinct sectors within the cryptocurrency world, the intersection of these two concepts is starting to influence the market. The DePIN trend had a significant impact in the latter part of 2024.

This can be seen in the performance of AIOZ Network (AIOZ), which experienced a 569% rise over the past 12 months. AIOZ reached above the $1.00 threshold before pulling back to trade around $0.95. AIOZ remains a key player in this space, and maintaining $1.00 as support could drive further upward movement. However, if AIOZ loses the $0.92 support level, it could fall to around $0.55, completely derailing its bullish outlook and leading to potential losses for investors.
