AI tokens are outperforming — and not quietly. Bitcoin is moving. Ethereum is holding ground. Yet some of the strongest relative gains are coming from AI-labeled tokens, not majors, not memes. At first glance, this feels intuitive. AI is real technology. It’s shaping industries far beyond crypto. But markets rarely move on intuition alone — especially not this fast.
