  • AI tokens like ChainGPT and Freysa gained over 94% in 24 hours, outperforming Bitcoin and Ethereum.
  • These tokens power AI-driven programs that automate crypto trades and manage portfolios efficiently.
  • Analyst ZachXBT warns many AI tokens might be scams, disguising themselves as innovative products.

In the past 24 hours, AI agent tokens have taken center stage in the crypto market, outshining even heavyweights like Bitcoin and Ethereum. While the top cryptocurrencies saw modest growth, AI tokens delivered standout performances with impressive double-digit gains.

Top AI Tokens: Big Gains in a Short Time

According to CryptoSlate’s top gainer list, AI tokens such as ChainGPT, BankrCoin, QUAIN, Universal Operating System, and FREGO led the charge. The lowest-performing token still managed a 17% gain, while others saw even more impressive jumps.

Here are the top 5 AI agent cryptos over the last 24 hours

In comparison, Bitcoin and Ethereum barely moved the needle, with gains of less than 2% during the same timeframe. Though they quickly recovered after a minor correction, their performance paled in comparison to the surging AI sector.

What Are AI Agent Tokens?

AI agent tokens represent a fresh wave of innovation in the blockchain space. These digital assets power self-operating programs that handle complex crypto tasks—essentially combining blockchain technology with artificial intelligence.

From executing trades to managing portfolios and interacting with DeFi platforms, these AI-driven agents automate processes that would typically require manual effort. The result? Faster, more precise, and highly efficient trading strategies.

Skepticism Around AI Agent Tokens

Despite their rapid rise in popularity, not everyone is convinced. Blockchain analyst ZachXBT has been vocal in his criticism, arguing that many AI agent token projects lack legitimacy.

Unlike meme coins that openly market themselves as speculative assets, ZachXBT claims that some AI tokens disguise themselves as groundbreaking innovations to lure unsuspecting buyers. This deceptive approach, he says, makes them even riskier investments.

Final Thoughts

The surge in AI agent tokens underscores the growing interest in combining artificial intelligence with blockchain technology. However, as with any emerging trend, investors should approach with caution, balancing excitement with a healthy dose of skepticism. Whether these tokens prove to be revolutionary tools or fleeting hype remains to be seen.
