 Morning Minute | The AI Agent Market Passes $5B

TylerD's Market Summary

🤖 The AI Agent Crypto Takeover Is Happening

The AI sector has clearly been exploding in interest.

Now thanks to tools like Kaito AI and Cookie.Fun we have the data to back it up.

And the AI space is bigger and growing faster than we even realized.

What Happened?

New AI Agent Index platform Cookie.Fun launched recently, surfacing data about all of the various AI Agents and their tokens.

Summary stats:

  • 144 AI Agents tracked
  • $5.3B in total market cap
  • 4.5M social impressions in the past day

Now diving into the individual agents:

  • ZEREBRO leads overall mindshare with 13% but AIXBT is a close second with 12%
  • AIXBT is by far the biggest gainer on the week, jumping 8% in mindshare (Bully is also a big winner)
  • GOAT is the leader by market cap at $840M with TURBO in second at $475M
  • UBC is the biggest winner of the day in terms of mindshare, adding 7%
  • UBC, LEA and POLY have added the biggest % of holders this week

Explore the data yourself with their intuitive dashboard.

Why It Matters

The AI sector is currently the single-best portion of crypto to focus on from an investment perspective.

Now we have the data at our fingertips to make trading decisions even easier.

Some think this AI sector is in a bubble, and it probably is - but at just a $5B market cap, the bubble is going to get much bigger before it bursts.

I'd argue it gets 3-5x bigger if not 10x.

🗓 Upcoming Mints and Events

Folks - my source for daily mints and events has shut down operations.

Given the general lack of interest in new mints on a daily basis, I'll be discontinuing this section of the newsletter, at least for now.

If I can find a good source for daily events, I will look at turning it back on.
