What Are the Current Views on Crypto x AI?
In a recent survey, 46.9% of crypto participants indicated an optimistic attitude towards crypto AI products in 2025. Specifically, 19.9% were somewhat optimistic, while 27.0% were completely optimistic. This is because use cases combining crypto and AI have been improved and are seeing broader adoption.
Meanwhile, 24.1% of crypto participants were somewhat or completely pessimistic about crypto AI products this year. In other words, almost one in 4 respondents continues to be skeptical about the potential of crypto AI technologies and use cases, at least in the short term.
Crypto participants expressed a similar consensus on crypto AI token prices, with 44.3% bullish and 26.4% bearish. This perhaps suggests that crypto participants are not differentiating between the investment or trading potential and the technology itself. This market sentiment may in turn reflect expectations that now is the time for crypto AI to move beyond the conceptual stage and mature as an industry.
Nearly one-third of respondents had neither a positive nor negative view of crypto AI products and token prices in 2025, with 29.0% and 29.3% respectively taking a neutral stance. In fact, most respondents chose the "neutral" option, with fewer selecting "bearish", "somewhat bearish", "somewhat bullish", and "bullish" options, indicating that a considerable number of people have no opinion on the crypto AI narrative or have not had enough time to form any opinion.
Among Those Leading Crypto AI Applications, Only 45% to 52% Are Optimistic
Among self-proclaimed "innovators" leading crypto AI applications, surprisingly, less than half (only 46.8%) were optimistic about crypto AI products, with those holding a pessimistic view reaching 28.9%. Similarly, only 44.8% of the "innovator" group were optimistic about crypto AI token prices, while 30.0% were pessimistic.
Based on the relatively low bullish sentiment share and higher bearish sentiment share, "innovators" seem to still hold divergent views, despite being the first to focus on the crypto AI narrative.
On the other hand, the distribution of bullish, bearish, and neutral sentiments is more in line with expectations for the remaining "early adopters", "early majority", "late majority", and "laggards" groups.
"Early adopters" and "early majority" groups are the most bullish, though slightly different, and also have the least bearish sentiment towards crypto AI products and token prices.
Meanwhile, the "late majority" group is least bullish on crypto AI products, with only 33.9% expressing positive sentiment.
That is to say, the "laggards" group is overall the most bearish, with 41.3% indicating they are bearish on crypto AI products and 43.1% bearish on token prices. Notably, the "laggards" group also has the smallest proportion of neutral sentiment, suggesting that despite being the newest members of the crypto AI narrative, their views are the most intense.
