Many people have been proclaiming AI to be the most transformative tech trend we will see in our lifetimes...and they may be right. If you look at the statistics, it's clear that over the past couple of years AI has taken center stage for the tech industry and for those outside of tech as well. Just in the first half of 2024, $35 billion went to AI startups, with investment within Big Tech companies being even higher.  However, AI by itself isn't the only emerging opportunity. Crypto AI, also known as decentralized AI, is poised to play a significant role in the future as well. With AI centralizing power, we need decentralized AI to create an equal society where power isn't fully controlled by a few organizations that have the most impact on AI and its development.

### The Mutual Benefits of AI and Crypto

In fact, AI and crypto are mutually beneficial for each other. AI improves the user experience in crypto by enabling natural language interaction, eliminating the need to understand wallets or private keys while crypto provides AI with decentralized, censorship-resistant infrastructure and a trustless coordination layer for building decentralized networks. Furthermore, crypto tokens can help provide funding avenues for smaller AI projects that wouldn't be able to compete with the big leaders in AI (Google, OpenAI/Microsoft, META etc.) providing opportunities for further innovation in the AI sector. Due to this factor among others, it's expected that decentralized AI could reach a valuation of $390 billion.

### AI Themed Crypto Projects Have Demonstrated the Importance of Decentralized AI

AI themed crypto projects like WorldCoin (Co-Founded by the CEO of OpenAI), <a  rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"  href="/price/near-protocol-near" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Near Protocol</a> which focuses on trusted blockchain-based AI solutions, Arkham, <a  rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"  href="/price/render-rndr" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Render</a>, a decentralized GPU rendering network, Bittensor, a blockchain based ML collaboration, <a  rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"  href="/price/theta-network-theta" target="_blank" class="blog_inner_link">Theta Network</a>, and Nosana, the fastest growing AI project of 2024 that offers a decentralized GPU grid for running AI interface tasks have proven that decentralized AI has many different relevant applications.

### Gate.io's Pilot Trading Section Launched New Tokens To Capitalize On The AI Trend

To capitalize on the AI token trend, Gate.io's Pilot Trading section launched new tokens. The AI Meme Token sector remains popular with new tokens focused on AI gaining traction. Recent top performing tokens include $VIRTUAL, $XCN, and $SAFE. $VIRTUAL specifically recently recorded a 24 hour gain of 34.1%. Virtual Protocol is a decentralized platform for creating co-owned, plug-and-play AI agents for gaming. The platform allows users to stake AI agents to earn rewards. A recent highlight: AI token $LUNA launched by Virtual saw its market cap peak at $75M, driving demand for $VIRTUAL.

The AI Meme Token Goatseus Maximus ($GOAT) launched earlier this year and its rapid growth could create a new super cycle narrative for the AI token trend. Other AI Meme tokens have received a boost from the growing popularity of $GOAT.

Gate.io's Chief Business Officer, Kevin Lee, shared: "Gate.io created the Pilot Trading section as a balanced solution in response to the demand among crypto traders for accessing emerging on-chain trends like AI meme coins and the need to highlight investment sectors with higher risk profiles. Gate.io continues to monitor the AI Meme token sector closely and add more AI-themed tokens to the Gate.io platform whenever deemed fit." Through the Pilot Trading Section, Gate.io also seeks to generally support the growing influence of decentralized AI and foster its thriving development.
