In the midst of this year's ongoing crypto bull cycle, both meme coins and AI & Big Data coins have gained significant traction, capturing the attention of investors and traders alike. As the crypto market continues to surge, the question on everyone's mind is which sector holds the most potential for growth and profitability.

The meme coin sector, led by the likes of DOGE, SHIB, and PEPE, has demonstrated remarkable price rallies, offering investors substantial returns on their investments. With a market capitalization of $57.89 billion, meme coins have outperformed the $43.17 billion market cap of AI and big data tokens. Additionally, the trading volume for meme tokens totaled $9.17 billion, while AI tokens' trading volume stood at $3.31 million, further highlighting the heightened investor interest in the meme coin sector.

However, the AI and big data tokens sector is not far behind, with the recent surge in the adoption and growth of AI (artificial intelligence) across the globe serving as a highly optimistic factor for this crypto sector. The AI tech giant Nvidia, whose stock investors closely monitor to gauge the performance of AI-based crypto tokens, continues to cement its foothold in the AI industry. With Nvidia's stock target prices raised to unprecedented levels, the outlook for AI tokens remains bullish.

Despite the promising long-term prospects of AI-based tokens, meme coins appear to be more prominent on investors' radars, potentially due to their high short-term ROI. Renowned crypto market analyst Miles Deutscher has highlighted PEPE and WIF, a Solana-based meme coin, as potentially two of the best R/R (Risk/Return ratio) holds this bull cycle.

In terms of recent price movements, Dogecoin (DOGE) has gained 8.03% in the past 24 hours, trading at $0.1645, while Shiba Inu (SHIB) is up 6.28%, trading at $0.00002562. Pepe coin (PEPE) has surged 18.58%, reaching $0.00001118. On the AI front, NEAR protocol (NEAR) has jumped 3.70%, trading at $8.21, Render (RNDR) has surged 10.81% to $11.20, and The Graph (GRT) has rallied 10.66%, reaching $0.3455.

As the battle between meme coins and AI coins continues, investors and traders will closely monitor the performance of both sectors, seeking to capitalize on the most promising opportunities in the ever-evolving crypto landscape.
