The ChatGPT effect on AI-themed cryptocurrencies
Lennart Ante, Ender Demir
Abstract
ChatGPT is an artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot that provides users with detailed responses and accurate answers to any questions. It has garnered significant attention after its launch in November 2022. We analyze the returns of AI-themed crypto assets around the launch and widespread attention towards ChatGPT. We reveal significant abnormal returns for AI tokens after the launch of ChatGPT, up to 41% over the course of two weeks. Moreover, 90% of tokens exhibit positive abnormal returns. This suggests that the attention towards ChatGPT and AI in general has transitioned to cryptocurrency markets, resulting in positive price effects for AI-related cryptocurrencies.
