At its lowest point on August 6, the total market cap of AI and big data crypto projects hit a yearly low of $18.21 billion. This dip was largely attributed to the market’s dependence on Bitcoin and the overall performance of the cryptocurrency sector. The bearish trend saw Bitcoin’s price plummeting below $50,000, impacting the broader market sentiment as evident from data provided by Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView.
