Consulting firm Bain & Co. has projected an $800 billion shortfall in the AI industry's $2 trillion revenue target over the next five years, citing rising infrastructure costs that outpace monetization. This forecast has raised concerns about the sustainability of the AI sector, influencing the crypto market. AI-linked tokens and projects are experiencing mixed performance, with the overall AI crypto sector declining by 2.7% to $32.4 billion. While AI Agents and AI Applications have seen significant declines, AI Frameworks and Bittensor Subnets have recorded modest gains.
