The next bull market in the cryptocurrency market and US stock market will both be centered on AI.

The AI bull market actually started in late 2022. Before 2025, many people in the market were still skeptical, thinking it was just a cyclical hype bubble like the metaverse and NFT craze back then.

But after 2025, the situation clearly changed. AI began to become an important focal point in US-China tech competition, with large tech companies continuously increasing their investments, and tech giants like the "Magnificent Seven" of US stocks continuously pouring money in. At this stage, whether AI is a trend of the times has basically become non-controversial.

From a popularization perspective, this round of AI is likely the broadest technology dividend covering the most people. In China, as long as people are slightly exposed to the internet, or even scroll through short videos, most already know that AI is the big direction of the future.

However, it's important to note that while the trend remains unchanged, the manifestation of each stage is different.

If the previous two years were the phase of large language models and computing power, then 2026's strongest direction will very likely be AI Agents.

So what's truly critical going forward is not whether AI is a trend, but how to allocate investments around the AI Agent mainline.

The AI big three $TAO $VIRTUAL $RENDER are key targets to watch in a bear market (short-term prices are too high, not recommended to chase rallies).
