AI Cryptocurrencies Take Stage as Stocks of Relevant Sector Drop

• AI cryptocurrencies market cap is down by 1.65%.
• Major AI stocks closed on a lower note in the last session.
• Alphabet, Microsoft, and Nvidia were down earlier.

A drop in the AI sector has brought AI cryptocurrencies into the spotlight. There is a notable dip in both segments, with the plunge spanning across all the US stock market indexes. Companies that have lost shares are Nvidia, Microsoft, and Alphabet, among others. For the AI crypto segment, a decline reflects in all major tokens, including the top ones.

AI Cryptocurrencies Drop Daily Values

AI cryptocurrencies have collectively lost 1.65% in market cap, which is down to $13.84 billion. Some of the top tokens are some of the biggest losers too, like TAO and ICP. They have lost 6.24% and 4.41%, respectively, during the last 24 hours. NEAR has sustained the blow for now, given it has only dropped by 0.95%.

There are a few gainers as well – KITE and VIRTUAL. Their daily upswing comes to 16.11% and 2.70%, applicable in the same order. However, KITE and VIRTUAL go on to make up for an exceptional case as all other major AI cryptocurrencies are down. Nevertheless, the situation in the segment aligns with the performance of every other cryptocurrency worldwide.

Performance AI Stocks

All three stock indexes closed on the lower side. Dow slipped by 0.54% while Nasdaq and S&P 500 each lost 0.31% and 0.28%, respectively. The individual scenario is on the same line with the likes of Nvidia, Alphabet, and Microsoft, showing a downward movement. They have lost 0.04%, 0.13%, and 0.29%, applicable in the same, on a daily scale.

While AI stocks and AI cryptocurrencies may not often share sentiments, a dip in either space does push investors’ attention to the other. Nvidia, Alphabet, and Microsoft were last trading at $187.90, $303.56, and $398.46, respectively. A decline in AI cryptocurrencies comes days after they recorded weekly gains.

Any Shift in Expenditure?

A report by Reuters underlined a softening stance in hotel pricing across Las Vegas. It added that households may be feeling the pinch, avoiding travel, and lowering visitation for hotels to offer lower prices. While high-income travelers are still booking, it has triggered a concern about changing preferences in terms of expenditure.

A pullback of that nature could signal a precautionary move in investment practices. Thereby, affecting allocations to risky ventures like cryptocurrencies, AI cryptos included. Reportedly, Las Vegas noted 3.1 million fewer visitors in last year, which is 2025 – translating to a 7.5% decline.
