rewrite this title Number of Users in AI-Powered Crypto Apps Has Doubled

AI-based DApps accounted for 19% of on-chain activity in 2025. The user count has risen to 4.5 million, while funding has surpassed $1.39 billion.

According to the blockchain analytics platform DappRadar, artificial intelligence activity on blockchains has nearly doubled since the beginning of the year. More funds and users are turning to this trending technology.

DappRadar reported that so far in 2025, AI-related on-chain activity has increased by 86%, with approximately 4.5 million daily unique active wallets involved in AI-centric decentralized applications (DApps).

AI Approaches the Web3 Throne

The increase in daily users has boosted the market share of AI applications from 9% at the start of the year to 19%. This figure places it just behind blockchain gaming, which stands at 20%.

DappRadar analyst Sara Gherghelas stated that the growth in AI is “not just a matter of hype” but reflects a “structural shift” in how users interact with decentralized applications.

“Whether through DeFi assistants, social agents, or autonomous gaming companions, AI agents are becoming a new on-chain interface layer.”

In a forecast made in May, DappRadar predicted that the use of AI agents—programs that can transact and act independently on the blockchain—would soon surpass gaming, which has traditionally dominated the DApp ecosystem.

Investment in AI Agents Increased by Over 9%

According to Gherghelas’s report, AI agent projects have raised a total of $1.39 billion so far in 2025. This represents a 9.4% increase compared to 2024.

While Gherghelas acknowledged that this amount is low compared to AI investments in companies like OpenAI, she noted that “investments in the AI agents space are now catching up to or surpassing other Web3 verticals like blockchain gaming.”

“In the Web3 world, investors increasingly see AI agents as a new building block. This building block has the potential to fundamentally change how users interact with protocols, navigate DApps, or automate their personal finance strategies.”

Gherghelas said that 2025 could be the first year that AI agents attract more capital than all other Web3 verticals.

AI Users Are Increasing Worldwide

Data collected by DappRadar between January and June shows that the majority of traceable AI DApp users are located in Europe, accounting for 26% of all interactions.

The largest group, at 33%, consists of users whose location could not be determined or who use anonymous sources like VPNs. Asia follows closely behind Europe at 22%, with North America trailing at 15.8%.

Gherghelas said the global distribution shows that “AI agents are not a local phenomenon.”

“Whether it’s a DeFi agent managing transactions in Asia, a social agent representing users in Europe, or gaming companions interacting with players in North America, the demand is both diverse and increasingly cross-continental,” she added.
