We are in a bear market
but almost every token pumping right now has one thing in common: AI
$VVV → private AI inference
$ZEC → privacy + AI narrative + quantum resistance
$NEAR → AI infrastructure
$HYPE → benefiting from AI speculation through liquid perp trading
$RAIL → one of the few privacy projects with actual measurable revenue
Right now Bitcoin can influence the market but it no longer fully dictates it
capital rotating into narratives that still have growth
and right now the strongest one is clearly crypto x AI
You can literally see it onchain
- Solana AI tokens getting inflows again
- Base AI projects launching every week
- perp volume exploding around AI related speculation
Even the privacy narrative is changing because of AI
People suddenly care again about:
- private inference
- encrypted data
- local models
- autonomous agents
- quantum resistance
People are front-running a world where AI becomes massive and privacy becomes necessary
And crypto will become the infrastructure layer underneath both
You just have to look in the right place
