Artificial intelligence (AI) blockchain projects are seeing a surge in interest, with tokens rallying after the recent market correction.

Bitcoin (BTC) dropped to a multi-week low of $91,000 during the correction. However, AI tokens are largely outperforming the flagship crypto.

Top Gainer: Virtuals Protocol (VIRTUAL)

Among the top performers is Virtuals Protocol (VIRTUAL), which surged over 36% in the past week.

VIRTUAL is the top gainer for 2024. It gained popularity with the launch of several sentient AI agents, each designed to serve a different purpose. The platform’s ecosystem includes projects that aim to revolutionize how users interact with AI and the Metaverse with blockchain technology.

AI Projects with Bullish Potential: NEAR and ICP

Two other AI projects with huge potential for 2025 are Near Protocol (NEAR) and Internet Computer (ICP). They lead the sector in terms of development activity and community engagement.

Both NEAR and ICP rose in the past week, albeit at a slower pace. NEAR gained 5.59%, while ICP rose 4.4%. Despite the gains, both are still far below their all-time highs.

NEAR hit its all-time high over three years ago at $20.42. In this cycle, it reached a peak price of $8.99. The altcoin could set a new all-time high in 2025. ICP peaked at $20.90 this year. It’s currently 98% below its all-time high of $750, reached over four years ago.

More AI Cryptos to Watch: TAO, GRT, RENDER

Bittensor (TAO), The Graph (GRT), and Render (RENDER) are three more AI-focused cryptos that could see big gains in 2025.

Over the past week, TAO rose 14%, RENDER gained 5.7%, and GRT jumped 4.7%. When the market resumes its uptrend, these three cryptos could see massive gains, given their solid communities and developer ecosystems.

Bittensor plans to further decentralize its ecosystem in 2025 with the launch of dTAO. The Graph has announced on X (formerly Twitter) that it will deliver major upgrades this year. Render hit big milestones in 2024, including a usage increase of over 3x. It plans for similar growth in 2025.
