AI, Gaming and other crypto sectors crash worse than Bitcoin in 2025

All other crypto sectors underperformed Bitcoin this year, with average decline ranging from nearly 50% to as high as 85%.

Based on the data, AI frameworks and platforms have seen the worst decline out of all the sectors, falling by 84.05% on average. Meanwhile, Agent-based projects are down 70.27% on average compared to last year. The meme coin sector also saw a major decline, as it plummeted by 51.74% this year, much to the dismay of meme coin traders.

Moreover, the gaming infrastructure sector also saw a similar loss of 51.54% this year, followed by the modular solutions sector which is down 47%. The AI and DePIN sector also suffered this year, with a loss of 42.41%. The Layer 1 sector seems to be doing better with only a decline of 26% in performance.

On the other hand, despite having suffered a major drop in price and falling below the $90,000 threshold, Bitcoin’s performance has managed to sustain minimal damage. At press time, Bitcoin’s performance by return percentage has seen a 5.23% decline.

Compared to other benchmark assets, like Ethereum and Solana, Bitcoin’s performance has sustained the least damage. Meanwhile, Ethereum has seen a 25.5% decline in returns and Solana has suffered a similar loss of 24.8% in performance. On average, the benchmark assets have gone down by 18.53% in returns. Although this is still not a good sign for the crypto market, the benchmark assets seem to be doing much better than all the other crypto sectors.
