44% are bullish over crypto AI token prices: CoinGecko survey

Nearly half of crypto pundits in a recent survey are bullish over crypto AI tokens prices — which could bode well for the $23.6 billion crypto market sector. Of the 2,632 respondents surveyed by CoinGecko between February and March, 25% were “fully bullish,” and 19.3% indicated they were “somewhat bullish” for crypto AI tokens in 2025. Around 29% of respondents were neutral on the subject, while a combined 26.3% were either somewhat bearish or bearish. Responses on crypto AI product sentiment.
