Over the past month, cryptocurrency and AI have seen a significant surge. While crypto rose to 88% to reach a record-breaking $5.36 billion, AI evolved as a key investment theme across various industries to fuel the crypto surge. The digital asset showed an impressive growth, continuing the ongoing trend of adoption expansion.
AI-led Sector Allocation Boosts Crypto Growth
Capital investments in crypto startups skyrocketed by 88%, month-over-month, to reach $5.36 billion. This indicates a larger investment compared to previous months, reflecting renewed optimism in the blockchain and digital asset sectors. Artificial intelligence (AI) played a crucial role in boosting the growth.
Several AI-led sector and public companies, such as MicroStrategy (MSTR), Upexi, and MEI Pharma, are actively increasing their crypto treasury strategies. These firms have acquired major crypto, including Bitcoin (BTC), Solana (SOL), Sui (SUI), Ethereum (ETH), and Litecoin (LTC), representing a blend of deep tech AI sector focus alongside innovative crypto asset strategies.
According to CoinMarketCap, MEI Pharma raised $100 million via a private equity placement to adopt an LTC Treasury by collaborating with the Litecoin Foundation and GSR. More than 145 pubic companies collectively hold about $108 billion in Bitcoin and are diversifying into other cryptos like LTC.
Key Highlights of Crypto and AI Surge in July 2025
- Bitcoin reached a new all-time high of $122,000, driven by unprecedented demand for ETFs, while Ethereum surged by almost 49%.
- Despite an 8% decline in the number of deals, firms like BlackRock and Fidelity have been steadily increasing their exposure to cryptocurrencies, particularly through spot Bitcoin ETFs.
- Apart from institutional adoption, crypto also saw significant progress in regulatory development. Major crypto legislation like the CLARITY Act, the GENIUS Act, and the Anti-CBDC Surveillance State Act was passed in the House during the crypto week.
As the investment and adoption rate is rising in crypto, regulators like the US SEC are also developing regulations to modernize the nation.
