The combination of cryptocurrency and AI is seen as an important direction for driving innovation in the industry. However, against the backdrop of a prolonged market downturn and a cooling interest in AI, market sentiment is showing significant divergence.

Recently, CoinGecko conducted a survey of 2,632 cryptocurrency market participants, revealing that nearly half of the respondents hold a bullish outlook on the prices of crypto AI products and tokens for 2025, while about a quarter of respondents take a bearish stance.

Nearly 30% of respondents are on the sidelines, 1/4 are firmly bullish

In a recent survey conducted by CoinGecko, 46.9% of crypto users expressed a bullish outlook on crypto AI products for 2025. Among them, 19.9% of respondents indicated they are "somewhat bullish," while 27.0% are "completely bullish." As the application scenarios combining crypto and AI continue to improve and gain wider adoption, market sentiment has shown signs of recovery.

At the same time, 24.1% of crypto users hold a "somewhat bearish" or "completely bearish" attitude towards crypto AI products in 2025. In other words, about 1/4 of respondents remain cautious or skeptical about the prospects of crypto AI technology and its applications, at least in the short term.

The crypto community's attitude towards the prices of crypto AI tokens is also similar. 44.3% of respondents are bullish, while 26.4% are bearish. This may indicate that the market has not yet clearly distinguished the investment value, trading potential, and technological development status of crypto AI. This market sentiment reflects the expectation that crypto AI should transition from the conceptual stage to maturity.

Nearly 1/3 of respondents hold a neutral stance on the prices of crypto AI products and tokens for 2025, accounting for 29.0% and 29.3%, respectively. In fact, "neutral" was the most chosen option among all respondents, while the proportions for "bearish," "somewhat bearish," "somewhat bullish," and "bullish" were relatively low. This indicates that a considerable portion of respondents has not formed a clear opinion on the crypto AI narrative or is still observing.

The bullish proportion among early innovators and adopters is only 45%-52%

Among the self-identified "innovators" driving crypto AI applications, 46.8% of respondents hold a bullish outlook on crypto AI products, while 28.9% are bearish. Similarly, only 44.8% of "innovators" are bullish on crypto AI token prices, while 30.0% are bearish.

"Innovators" are typically the earliest group to pay attention to the crypto AI narrative; however, in this survey, their bullish proportion in this field is relatively low, while the bearish proportion is higher, indicating that even early adopters remain cautious about the prospects of crypto AI.

In contrast, the sentiment distribution among "early adopters," "early majority," "late majority," and "laggards" aligns more closely with market expectations. Among them, "early adopters" and "early majority" exhibit the highest bullish sentiment towards crypto AI products and token prices, while bearish sentiment is the lowest.

The "late majority" group has the most conservative attitude towards crypto AI products, with only 33.9% holding a positive outlook. The "laggards" group is the most pessimistic overall, with 41.3% bearish on crypto AI products and 43.1% bearish on token prices. Notably, the proportion of those holding a neutral stance in the "laggards" group is the lowest, indicating that although they are late to the crypto AI narrative, their views are the most resolute.
