In terms of AI-related news, there were no direct AI developments reported on February 16, 2025, that could be correlated with the market movements following Deutscher's announcement. However, the sentiment analysis of social media platforms showed a 15% increase in negative sentiment regarding AI-driven trading algorithms, potentially influenced by the overall market sentiment shift (Sentiment, February 16, 2025). This could suggest that traders were becoming more cautious about relying on AI for trading decisions in light of the significant losses experienced by a prominent trader like Deutscher. The trading volume for AI-related tokens such as SingularityNET (AGIX) and Fetch.AI (FET) remained stable, with no significant changes observed within the hour of the announcement (CoinMarketCap, February 16, 2025). However, the correlation between AI tokens and major crypto assets like BTC and ETH remained positive at 0.7, indicating that AI tokens still moved in tandem with the broader market (CryptoCompare, February 16, 2025). This suggests that while AI developments did not directly influence the market on this day, the general market sentiment and trading behavior impacted AI-related tokens indirectly.
