Crypto Market Weekly: Web3 Welcomes the AI Revolution Year, Trump's $500 Billion Infrastructure Plan Ignites the AI Craze

This week, the crypto market showed a wide range of volatility, with the market sentiment index dropping to 10%, entering the extreme fear zone. Despite Trump issuing the cryptocurrency bill and abolishing SAB-121, it failed to significantly boost market sentiment. Most tokens fell more than the overall market, and Altcoins performed worse than the benchmark index.

The DeFi sector performed outstandingly, with TVL increasing by 0.56% to $53.8 billion. The AI sector reached a total market value of $41.9 billion, but then corrected. The focus of the meme coin market is on the TRUMP and MELANIA tokens on Solana. In the public chain ecosystem, Solana and Tron performed the best.

In the AI track, Virtuals Protocol updates its value accumulation mechanism, and Swarms establishes a 10 million token ecological fund. The market mainly focuses on autonomous trading agents, multi-agent cooperation frameworks, and infrastructure development. By the end of 2025, it is expected that 90% of on-chain transactions will be completed by AI agents.

In terms of DeFi, Sumer.money's TVL has surpassed 100M and launched an NFT minting event. Meteora introduced the "Liquidity Ratio Slider" feature. Silo Finance launched the S-ETH and S-USDC markets. Aura launched StableSurge, with capital efficiency soaring to 1:1.58. Pell Network is laying out a full-chain BTC re-staking.

In terms of public chains, Sonic integrates Chainlink's cross-chain functionality, and the token $S is listed on mainstream exchanges. The supply of stablecoins on the Solana chain has exceeded 100 billion, setting a new record. Core deepens cooperation with SumerMoney. B² Network collaborates with 0G_labs to create a decentralized AI operating system. Tron makes a high-profile appearance at three major events in Washington's power center.

Looking ahead to next week, the market will focus on the Federal Reserve's FOMC meeting, the PCE price index, and tech stock earnings reports. The market is expected to maintain a volatile trend, but investors are optimistic about the opportunities that may arise after February as policies become clearer. The DeFi and AI sectors are likely to continue benefiting from improvements in fundamentals and policy support.
