AI agents: only in Q4 2024 +222% capitalization

The most important trend in early 2025?

According to a recent report shared by CoinGecko, AI agents would have conveyed one of the most relevant trends of 2024. We are talking about autonomous software leveraging AI to perform a range of tasks, especially within DeFi, which ended up interacting through trading bots and decision-making systems on smart contracts.

We have already talked about the topic in our specific in-depth article , but at the beginning of the new year we can analyze some numbers of this phenomenon.

In Q4 of 2024 alone, the capitalization of the sector would have grown by 222%, touching $15.5 billion today . The first stimulus came last October with the launch of the famous Goatseus Maximus (GOAT) on Solana, and it is on this network that the trend seems to be taking root.

Solana’s share of the sector would be 56.48 percent ($8.44 billion), while a little further behind (though gaining ground lately) is Base with 40.57 percent, thanks to projects such as Aixbt and Virtuals Protocol.

AI finds a home on Solana

This world, by the way, already no longer seems to be exclusive to retail investors, so much so that research by Franklin Templeton has already highlighted its growth potential: “We can imagine a future where AI agents revolutionize content generation on social media and play a key role in various sectors and platforms.”

These very tokens have also contributed greatly to Solana’s emergence as a dominant blockchain compared to the volumes generated by dex, which alone account for 30 percent of overall trading volume.

With its $219.2 billion in trading volume, it remains ahead of Ethereum ($184.3 billion) and remains distant from the volumes generated by Base and Tron, despite the rapid growth of these ecosystems.
