Less than two months ago, a collection of 74 listed cryptocurrencies centered around artificial intelligence (AI) amassed an impressive $4 billion valuation. However, the intervening weeks have seen a sharp decline in crypto-AI economy gains, with losses of $730 million. The three most prominent AI-driven crypto projects have all suffered double-digit losses, ranging from 10% to 29.58%, against the U.S. dollar over the last 30 days.

Despite the rise, over the past 90 days, the score has slumped to a low of 22. Slovenia, the Netherlands, Cyprus, Lebanon, and Nigeria make up the top five countries interested in “crypto ai” searches at present.

In February, the collective crypto AI economy reached a $4 billion milestone, driven by impressive gains among top AI-focused cryptocurrencies following a multibillion-dollar investment by Microsoft in Openai, the creators of Chatgpt. However, the crypto AI sector has since incurred significant losses. Current data from cryptoslate.com indicates that $730 million has been wiped off the crypto AI token economy.
