Bitget CEO Gracy Chen is currently extremely optimistic about AI-based tokens. She predicts that the total market value of these tokens could rise to 60 billion USD by 2025. She is particularly enthusiastic about Agentic AI tokens, which already have a market capitalization of 15 billion USD and a daily trading volume of 875 million USD.
Technology not yet ready for large-scale investments
Chen believes it is only a matter of time before exchanges introduce their own AI agents. These could help automate certain activities and improve customer service, according to the Bitget CEO.
But in their opinion, the technology is not yet mature enough. “The technology is not yet advanced enough to justify large-scale investment, as human control is still required,” explains Chen.
Nevertheless, investors already seem to be showing great interest in this new sector. In total, AI agents are already worth more than $10 billion, and Chen expects market values to continue to rise through 2025.
222% growth in the fourth quarter of 2024
The fourth quarter of 2024 was a hugely successful period for AI-based tokens, with the industry’s market capitalization increasing by 222% during these three months, from $5 billion in October to over $15 billion by year-end.
Agentic AI tokens gained significant attention as a category after Solana launched Goatseus Maximus (GOAT). Since then, Solana has established itself as the dominant blockchain for AI agents, holding a 56.48% market share.
According to a forecast by VanEck, one million AI agents could be active on various blockchain networks by the end of 2025. This industry is therefore likely to grow significantly in the coming months.
The big question remains, however, whether these innovations offer real value beyond the hype. So far, there seems to be strong demand for the technology, but its long-term benefits have yet to be proven.
