ParaFi’s Jeff Park stresses that while AI has been syphoning interest and funds from the crypto ecosystem, ultimately, when the bubble bursts, capital will be ready to be reinvested in hard-to-ignore, scarce solid assets such as bitcoin.

AI claimed 80% of Q1 2026 venture funds, draining crypto liquidity and holding Bitcoin prices near $60K.Analyst Arthur Hayes noted that the AI sector is soaking up market cash, limiting fresh crypto investments.ParaFi’s Jeff Park predicts AI wealth will flow to bitcoin if the bubble bursts, but critics fear a crash.While reports have established an inversely proportional relationship between artificial intelligence (AI) and crypto, meaning that investors have been withdrawing funds from crypto and piling them up behind AI stocks, including chip makers and software companies, some are betting on the resilience of crypto.
This has contributed to the current stability in crypto prices, which have been ranging over the $60K support for some time, given that there is less interest and liquidity open to be injected into crypto markets.
“It’s hard to believe this right now, but all this AI wealth creation is very bullish for BTC because whenever the asset-liability mismatch breaks (they always do) and capital flees, the infinite-duration asset that is Bitcoin will be waiting coiled in a generational indifference,” Park stressed on social media.
