Bitcoin’s sharp decline is spilling over into higher-risk corners of the crypto market, and AI agent tokens are among the hardest hit. Data tracked by cookie.fun shows that across 1,459 monitored AI agents, the sector now carries a combined valuation of about $4.19 billion. Over the past 24 hours alone, however, that market value has fallen by 10.4%, underscoring a rapid deterioration in investor risk appetite.
Leading tokens post steep weekly losses
Among the biggest names in the segment, VIRTUALS has dropped 46.46% over the last seven days, leaving it with a market capitalization of roughly $417.8 million. FARTCOIN also posted a sharp retreat, falling 30.92% during the same period and standing at approximately $233.34 million in total valuation as of Sunday afternoon, March 9.
AI16Z suffered one of the deepest declines in the group, losing 54.83% over the week while holding a market cap near $220.63 million. KET fell 47.04% against the U.S. dollar, ending the session with a valuation of about $207.03 million. Elsewhere, ACT remained valued at around $183.26 million but still declined 12.71% on the week. TOSHI sank 30.6% to about $150.82 million, while TURBO dropped 43.38% to $144.47 million. Tenth-ranked FAI retreated 38.86%, ending near $112.59 million.
CHEEMS stands out in a weak market
One exception to the broader slump was CHEEMS, which managed to gain 5.6% despite the sector-wide drawdown. Its market capitalization reached $189.16 million, suggesting that while the category is under broad pressure, selective optimism has not disappeared entirely. Still, isolated strength has done little to offset the wider sell-off across AI agent assets.
Solana and Base account for most of the sector
By blockchain distribution, about $1.78 billion of the sector’s $4.19 billion market cap is tied to Solana, while Base accounts for roughly $1.41 billion. Another $1.42 billion is spread across alternative chains, according to cookie.fun. The broad decline points to a sector-wide correction in a niche and highly speculative part of the digital asset market, with Solana- and Base-based AI agent tokens facing especially visible valuation pressure.
Overall, the latest pullback highlights the fragility of emerging crypto narratives when Bitcoin weakens. While a small number of tokens have shown resilience, the dominant trend across AI agent coins remains one of synchronized losses and fading confidence.
