#数字资产市场洞察 AI is quietly encroaching, is there still hope for memecoin?

In recent years, the crypto market has been filled with conceptual coins, and memecoins have surged based on stories and community hype, while their fundamentals have long been sidelined. Just at this moment, AI tokens have started to attract real money.

You can tell from AIONIX's performance - a small coin with a market value of less than $8,000 in August has risen 3% in the last 24 hours, and this is just the tip of the iceberg. The voices in the industry are becoming increasingly united: 2026 is likely to be the year of the real explosion for AI tokens.

Why? Because the overall environment has changed. The United States is tying crypto and AI together as a strategy, with nearly $3 billion invested in AI applications alone by 2025. This is not just empty talk; there is real money following. Data speaks—AI tokens have been steadily rising lately, while DOGE has dropped 50% in the same period, clearly showing the difference.

From the perspective of capital, relative returns, and even market narratives, the signals all point in the same direction: AI tokens are standing at the intersection of the two narratives of cryptocurrency and artificial intelligence. Before 2026 arrives, this cycle may have already begun.
