Crypto Struggles to Compete With The Momentum Of AI And Robotics
According to the data, investors seem to be revising their priorities today. Proof: crypto-assets are losing ground to booming sectors like AI and robotics. Does this reveal a new balance? Analysis.
In brief
- Speculative capital is abandoning crypto in favor of AI and robotics.
- Crypto market volatility and regulatory uncertainty are holding back investors.
Emerging new technologies scoop the pot against crypto
For a year now, the crypto market has been showing signs of fatigue. Bitcoin has dropped 12%. Upstream, altcoins outside the top 10 are down by more than 30%.
The downside of the situation: ETFs dedicated to AI and robotics are posting positive performance. For example, the Global X Robotics & AI fund shows a 13% gain over the same period.
Delphi Digital sums up the situation well: cryptocurrencies no longer compete only with other digital assets. They now face all emerging technologies that promise quick gains.
In 2025, startups specializing in robotics raised $13.8 billion. They thus surpassed their previous record. This illustrates investors’ shift in preference, seeking projects with high potential and less tied to crypto regulatory volatility.
Crypto: between crash, regulation, and slowdown in investments
October 2025 marks a severe shock. A massive crash, triggered by Sino-American trade tensions, causes $19 billion in liquidations on crypto exchanges. Enough to weaken investor confidence.
At the same time, economic outlooks don’t help. Markets anticipate a Fed key interest rate of 3.8% over five years. Result: flows tighten for assets considered risky, including crypto-assets.
U.S. policy also fuels uncertainty. Reference is made notably to the blocking of the CLARITY bill strengthening regulatory instability. The environment remains unclear, thereby encouraging investors to divert flows toward better-regulated sectors such as artificial intelligence and industrial automation.
One thing is certain: the crypto ecosystem is losing influence in speculative imagination. Will it be able to revive its narrative? The future will tell.
