Crypto Guru Reveals His Top 10 AI Altcoins For 2025
Miles Deutscher is a well-known cryptocurrency analyst with over 575,000 followers on X (formerly Twitter), unveiling His top 10 artificial intelligence (AI) altcoins are expected to grow significantly in 2025. He emphasized the emerging potential of the field of artificial intelligence in the cryptocurrency space, which he said could be the “biggest opportunity for the bull market.”
Why artificial intelligence has huge potential
Deutscher highlighted the rapid expansion of the global artificial intelligence market, noting that it will grow by approximately $50 billion between 2023 and 2024. Forecasts estimate a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 28.46%, which could exceed $826 billion by 2030. Public Discourse — which accounts for nearly a third of the cryptocurrency space’s attention — currently ranks as the 34th largest cryptocurrency industry by market capitalization, lagging behind industries such as liquidity staking, Meme Coinand decentralized finance (DeFi). “However, AI is still only ranked 34th by market capitalization, behind liquidity staking, dog memes, DeFi, etc. I could easily see AI as a top 5-10 industry in a year.” Deutscher express.
He believes this disparity presents a huge opportunity for investors. “Many low and mid-cap AI tokens are still trading at ridiculously low valuations. It only takes a big shift to AI for many of these products to quickly increase in price 5-10x,” he explained. Deutscher outlined his basic thesis as to why AI-enabled cryptocurrencies will see significant growth. First, he pointed out that everyone is starting to realize how much impact artificial intelligence will have on society. “People are either scared, excited or curious about the latest developments. This has solidified AI’s place in the public mind,” he said.

Secondly, he pointed out that artificial intelligence continues to innovate and new products continue to enter the market. “Every time a new AI product is released, it brings more attention to the industry. Cryptocurrency is an attention economy. More eyeballs equals more speculation,” Deutscher observed. Third, he believes cryptocurrencies provide lower barriers to exposure to the growth of artificial intelligence. “Cryptocurrencies are more accessible, able to be segmented, and often ‘cheaper’ than investing in AI stocks. This is a huge benefit for the retail industry,” he asserted.
Finally, he highlighted the recent rise of artificial intelligence agents, which has led to awareness of the power of combining artificial intelligence with cryptocurrencies. “We are moving towards a future where AI agents will autonomously trade for you on-chain, manage your portfolio and risk, DeFi, etc. It will completely change the cryptocurrency landscape,” Deutscher predicted. He also pointed out that this trend is happening in traditional technology fields, such as Adobe and Expedia.com Integrate AI agents into their operations.
Deutscher, who focuses on artificial intelligence and crypto, mentioned that he is investing across various verticals, with a particular focus on artificial intelligence agents and artificial intelligence infrastructure. He focuses on “pick-and-shovel infrastructure protocols” rather than individual AI agents or the broader DePIN game. He revealed that he holds roles in all the projects he mentioned, some of which are strategic advisors and investors.
Top 10 Artificial Intelligence Altcoins
The top ten AI altcoins ranked by Deutscher, ordered from largest to smallest by market capitalization, are as follows.
The first one on the list is Bit Tensor (TAO)which he described as Artificial Intelligence Market Leader. Bittensor focuses on decentralized artificial intelligence research and has been widely adopted in the scientific community. “With the recent launch of EVM compatibility, the network has taken a big step forward, opening the door for developers to build the DeFi ecosystem and unlock new use cases,” Deutscher noted.
followed by NEAR Protocol (NEAR)which he believes is the leading layer-one (L1) blockchain that intersects with artificial intelligence. “NEAR is a reliable proxy for those who are bullish on these two verticals. Fun fact: it has maintained 100% uptime since mainnet launch in October 2020,” he said.
The third is hastily)stands out in this cycle thanks to its data pipelines that seamlessly connect the real world with artificial intelligence and cryptocurrencies. “Recent developments in artificial intelligence have made data one of the most valuable commodities in the world. Grass uses cryptocurrency incentives to create data pipelines that most AI companies cannot leverage,” he explained. He added that the demand for the Grass network is undeniable and the future of the protocol looks very promising.

The fourth is Spectrum (Specification)one of the leading AI agent infrastructures that allows anyone to deploy and interact with AI agents. “With Syntax V2, you will be able to interact with sentient agents with personalities that transact on Hyperliquid based on input from the community. It’s an interesting mix of fun, collaboration, and guesswork,” commented Deutscher.
The fifth is MODEAlthough called a Layer 2 (L2) solution, the AI technology has been building for more than a year. “They are leading the future of DeFi by facilitating the deployment of AI-driven agents that will autonomously farm yields and optimize your portfolio on your behalf,” he said.
Number six on the list is Neural Artificial Intelligence (Neural)connecting artificial intelligence and gaming—two of the biggest drivers of cryptocurrency adoption. “They just released SentiOS, which provides autonomous artificial intelligence to create, populate and bring virtual worlds and economies to life,” Deutscher said.
The seventh is PinLinkAiDeutscher is a strategic advisor and investor. PinLink is the first real-world asset tokenization DePIN platform, supporting fractional ownership of physical or digital assets. “They have also recently partnered with Akash, Pendle, FetchAI, OpenSea, Alephium, ParallelAI, etc. Their business development has reached another level.” He praised.
The eighth is Zero One Laboratory (DEAI)another project for which he serves as strategic advisor and investor. Zero1 Labs enables innovators to build decentralized AI applications with fully homomorphic encryption, ensuring secure data governance and complete privacy. “Think of it as the picks and shovels game of AI infrastructure. With a market cap of about $76 million, it’s one of my ‘higher upside’ AI bets,” Deutscher revealed. He mentioned the debut of Seraphnet, the first of many projects coming through its incubator program.
The ninth one is Nine Heavensa project for which he serves as an advisor and investor. As a believer in artificial intelligence agents, Deutscher emphasized that Empyreal provides artificial intelligence infrastructure to turn social media messages into on-chain operations such as transactions and exchanges through its Simulacrum platform. “This is so cool,” he added.
The tenth is enqAI (ENQAI)is another project in which Deutscher is involved as an advisor and investor. EnqAI is a decentralized large-scale language model network that solves the common bias and censorship issues of centralized artificial intelligence. He emphasized: “Although enqAI has a market capitalization of $20 million, it already has 20,000 monthly active users in over 50 countries and has processed over 1 million API requests with minimal downtime or latency. “
As a bonus, Deutscher mentioned Teacher Network (GURU)who is also a consultant and investor. With the Layer 3 mainnet now live, Guru powers AI processors and chatbots with decentralized exchanges, stablecoin support, bridges, and underlying chain integrations. “I’ve been working with Guru to launch Telegram and Discord mini-apps to provide a complete turnkey solution for DeFi on Telegram. This is going to be really cool!” he exclaimed.
Deutscher emphasized the importance of risk management. He revealed that his personal portfolio balance is approximately 70% large-cap stocks and 30% small- and mid-cap stocks. “I recommend you do your own research and if you do decide to take a position in these protocols, make sure you manage position size and risk in line with your goals and overall strategy,” he advises.
