Key Insights:
Top cryptos benefitting from the rise of AI agents and AI generative tools are Virtuals Protocol, Worldcoin, Near Protocol, ICP, Render and ASI.
Virtuals Protocol, ICP, and ASI create AI agents.
Worldcoin helps establish human identity in a world soon to be dominated by AI.
Near Protocol and ICP serve as the decentralized computing infra for AI workloads and monetization.
Render provides computing power to all platforms that need to run AI workloads.
The Virtuals Protocol was the fastest-growing coin in Q4 of 2024. In the last 90 days, the coin has gained an amazing 7100%. This rally took the platform from near obscurity to being the 36th-largest crypto by market cap.
Growth in the Virtuals Procol in the Last 1 Year

The Virtuals Protocol provides AI agent creation services to its users, who must own a certain amount of its token to use the platform.
The surge in the usage of AI agents is due to their ability to transform businesses. This is why these platforms are going viral. From Y Combinator to Stanford University, every credible intellectual has been predicting the meteoric rise of these agents in the future.
In the near future, we expect the token VIRTUAL to cross $10 by Q1 of 2025.
Worldcoin is yet another major AI project established by top entrepreneur and OpenAI co-founder Sam Altman. The project helps users establish their digital presence as a human.
The project has roughly 9.6 million users globally.
Despite its revolutionary idea, Worldcoin saw a major dip in its token price and user engagement due to a tokenomics controversy and concerns about its data retention policy.

However, Worldcoin is expected to see its fortunes rise after a major breakthrough with the government of Malaysia. Further, with the rise of AI agents, the need for a human-identity in the digital world for common people will result in a higher demand for Worldcoin.
The Near Protocol is not an AI project but is intrinsically involved with several big data, AI, and move-to-earn projects. The blockchain serves as a major platform for AI projects.
Recently, it has announced the creation of a user-owned AI project where every user will have a certain ownership over the AI projects they use, lifting their role from mere users to platform stakeholders.
NEAR has also been a resilient crypto in recent times. After the recent market correction, its price has consolidated at the $5 level, helping NEAR prevent a greater fall.
NEAR Price Trends in the Last 1 Year
CoinMarketCap
In Q1 2025, we assume NEAR will recover its price to its 2024 high of $8. This would also be in line with the recent market churning, where utility tokens are being given higher preference.
The Internet Computer Protocol is the largest decentralized IoT platform. It allows users to remotely access their IoT gadgets from anywhere in the world. It also helps you create platforms, from social media to advanced cloud computing apps, on the ICP blockchain.
Like Near Protocol, ICP serves as a critical infrastructure for running AI models with smart contracts and helps in their deployment using blockchain technology. In 2025, the ICP announced that a major AI upgrade will allow users to deploy even more complex AI workloads.
ICP Price History in the Last 1 Year
CoinMarketCap
The ICP token's price recently broke below $15 and, at press time, has reached $10. However, based on its recent upgrades and the surging demand for AI infrastructure in the next few years, it may soon recover its 2024 high.
Render is the largest graphics processing power sharing and leasing platform and is powered by blockchain technology. The platform helps you rent graphics processing capability at an ultra-low cost—much cheaper than actually owning a GPU.
This enabled common users like us to run complex workloads for a fraction of the cost of owning a GPU or even a high-end computer.
The future of Render is promising in 2025 because of the high demand for AI generative tools, AI agents, and other data processing tools. Certainly, it would not be financially feasible for each of them to own several high-end GPUs. This situation is where platforms like Render become highly useful.
Render Price History in 2024
CoinMarketCap
In 2024, we saw the price of Render touch a high of $13, and by the end of 2025, we assume it will eventually cross these levels based on the current demand for AI, which will eventually need computing resources like Render to run their workloads.
ASI is one of the largest pure AI-driven crypto companies in the market. It focuses on building, sharing, and distributing AI agents via its three comprising entities: Fetch.AI (builds AI agents), Singularity.Net (AI R&D), and Ocean Protocol (monetizing AI protocols via blockchain).
Fetch.AI was rebranded after merging with Singularity AI and Ocean Protocol, resulting in the Artificial Super-Intelligence Alliance (ASI). The token symbol/identifier "FET" will soon be changed to "ASI."
FET Price History in 2024
CoinMarketCap
In 2024, FET was largely excluded from the market rally. However, in 2025, we expect it to cross its 2024 highs of $3.26 based on strong AI demand, the need for AI agents, and ASI's capability to serve these markets.
