Interesting what Justin Sun has recently said about the AI situation in the crypto sector. The point is simple but effective: yes, everyone talks about artificial intelligence as the next big catalyst, but so far we haven't seen that product that truly changes the game.

Sun argues that AI-related tokens remain largely conceptual. Nothing concrete that everyday users can touch and use. What’s missing is the real 'ChatGPT moment' for the industry — an application that people actually want to use, not just speculate on. Without this, the AI narrative will hardly sustain a lasting market cycle.

But here’s the interesting part: until then, where is the value really growing? In things that already work. Stablecoins, cross-border payments. Sun highlighted how in many countries in the Global South, where local currencies are devastated by inflation, USDT on Tron has become practically a lifeline. In Bolivia, you can pay for luxury cars in USDT. It’s the first real digital dollar settlement system operating 24/7.

This is the striking contrast: while we wait for AI to produce something revolutionary, until then the most reliable growth continues to come from the infrastructure supporting daily transactions. Payments, stability, real financial access.

Sun remains optimistic about the convergence of blockchain and AI in the long term, but admits that developers still need to find that tool that is immediately useful, not just experimental. In the meantime, the market continues to rely on proven use cases.

On the technical side, XRP is oscillating around $1.33 with a -1.18% change in the last 24 hours and significant volumes. The intraday movement from 1.36 to 1.33 is interesting, suggesting more aggressive selling rather than simple lack of liquidity. Resistance is now in the 1.35-1.40 zone. Until we see a decisive break, the price remains in this consolidation dynamic.
