Meme Cryptocurrencies Reign Supreme in 2025, Yet AI-Based Coins Gain Momentum

In 2025, meme cryptocurrencies continue to reign dominant, capturing 25.02% of global investor attention, a minor decrease from 30.67% the previous year. However, AI-related cryptocurrencies are not far behind, accounting for 22.39% of interest, a significant rise from 15.67% in 2024, according to CoinGecko's report. The main meme coin narrative retains its top spot for the second year running, despite a slight dip in share from 14.36% to 12.48%. Conversely, interest in AI agents and the DeFAI narrative has surged, with AI agents recording the most notable year-on-year increase. Real-world assets (RWA) saw the most substantial decline in interest, dropping from 8.64% in 2024 to 4.98% in 2025. Meanwhile, stablecoins have seen one of the most significant ranking improvements, moving from 31st place to 16th.
