Meme Coins Stay on Top in 2025 as AI Agents Gain Ground
Meme Coins Remain Dominant
In 2025, meme coins continue to dominate the cryptocurrency market, capturing the largest share of investor interest. According to a recent report from CoinGecko, meme coins and their related trends account for 25.02% of global investor attention, a slight decrease from 30.67% in 2024. Despite this minor decline, meme coins have maintained their top position for the second consecutive year.
The main meme coin narrative leads with a 12.48% share, down from 14.36% in 2024. Other meme coin trends are also performing well, with Solana meme coins at 4.57% interest, AI meme coins at 1.51%, and Base meme coins at 1.40%. This shows that while overall interest in meme coins is slightly waning, they remain a significant force in the market.
AI‑Related Crypto Narratives Gain Traction
Meanwhile, AI‑related crypto narratives are rapidly gaining traction. Collectively, they account for 22.39% of investor interest, up from 15.67% in 2024. Although the main AI crypto category saw a slight decline in its individual share, from 12.58% in 2024 to 9.76% in 2025, it remains the second most popular narrative overall.
AI Agents Surge
The surge in AI crypto interest is largely driven by the rise of AI agents, which recorded the most notable year‑on‑year increase among the top 20 narratives. Their market share rose from 1.17% to 5.03%, and their ranking climbed 14 places. This indicates a growing interest in AI technologies within the cryptocurrency space.
Real‑World Assets Decline
Real‑world assets (RWA) have seen the sharpest decline in interest, falling from 8.64% in 2024 to 4.98% in 2025. This decline has pushed RWAs out of the top three positions they held last year.
Stablecoins Rise in Rankings
Stablecoins have seen one of the most significant ranking improvements, climbing from 31st place in 2024 to 16th in 2025. Their share of narrative interest increased from 0.48% to 1.69%, indicating increased activity in the sector as more protocols and blockchain networks introduce their own stablecoins.
Conclusion
As the cryptocurrency market continues to evolve, meme coins remain a dominant force, but the rise of AI agents and other narratives suggests a shifting landscape. Investors are increasingly looking towards innovative technologies and trends, making the market more dynamic than ever.
