Injective eyeing projected $1.5 trillion AI market

The AI tokens ecosystem on-chain is currently approximately a $38 billion market, with AI agents at about $10 billion and AI framework nearly $3 billion

Overall, the global AI market has expanded leaps amid major developments and stands at around $400 billion.

Projections are that this market could grow exponentially in the next five years to surpass $1.5 trillion.

INJ price fell as crypto reacted market to the recent DeepSeek threat.

Commenting on Injective’s new product, Injective Foundation chief executive officer Eric Chen said:

“Our goal is to enhance traditional finance with on-chain crypto rails to reach a globalized scale. The launch of AIX which harmoniously combines real world assets with crypto is a major step towards that goal which in turn creates a seismic shift for the finance industry at large”

With AIX, investors will have a chance to add to their AI positions without the hurdle of managing multiple centralized accounts. Investors will find it easy to bet on the AI sector, Injective Labs noted.

Tokenization on the rise – Injective, Ondo, Mantra

Injective’s milestone is one of many efforts to bridge traditional finance and decentralised finance.

Among its efforts, Injective has launched an AI agents tool and partnered with Aethir to pioneer a tokenized GPU marketplace.

Mantra, the layer-1 blockchain for RWA, has seen its native token OM surge to a new all-time high.

As Invezz highlighted, this comes amid a massive $1 billion tokenization partnership with UAE-based real estate behemoth DAMAC Group.

Ondo Finance, which has partnered with Ripple to bring the tokenized treasuries fund OUSG on XRP Ledger, is another L1 taking RWA and tokenization to the next level of adoption.

TradFi and DeFi merge via tokenization has also seen BlackRock-backed Securitize partner with alternative assets firm Apollo to bring private credit on-chain.
