AI and GameFi: Two Crypto Themes at the Center of User Interest

In 2023, the crypto landscape has undergone a dynamic shift in investor interest. According to recent data, artificial intelligence (AI) and GameFi have been particularly alluring to investors throughout the year.

It must be said that AI has emerged as the dominant force. It accounted for 11.3% of the overall crypto interest. Analysts attribute this surge in interest to the momentum gained by promotional efforts for this particular technology, especially since the launch of ChatGPT.

In this context, AI cryptos like Akash Network (AKT) and Render (RNDR) have recorded substantial gains, reaching peaks that are respectively 13 and 12 times their prices on January 1, 2023.

In the same vein, GameFi has made a strong comeback, claiming 10.5% of the crypto interest in 2023. During this period, the GameFi crypto segment experienced significant growth, with ImmutableX (IMX) standing out as the most performant GameFi asset.

The trends that marked the crypto industry in 2023

Memecoins in Solid Third Place

Mimetic cryptos lay claim to the 3rd spot in crypto interest in 2023 with 8.3%. Apparently, the interest in memecoins remained robust throughout the year, with massive enthusiasm for Pepe, HarryPotterObamaSonic10Inu.

But it is the resurgence of the memecoin Bonk that is particularly striking. Indeed, Bonk takes the prize for the most significant memecoin in terms of gain, having exceeded its valuation on January 1, 2023, by over 129 times.

On another note, statistics show that the Solana ecosystem occupies the 4th spot in crypto interest in 2023 with 7.2%. This blockchain has demonstrated resilience by multiplying its lowest annual price by 11, reaching $121.45 on December 26, 2023. SOL, the native crypto of Solana, is currently trading around $100, down 7.92% in the last 24 hours.
