Dominic Williams, founder of the DFINITY Foundation, has said the cryptocurrency market has yet to fully recognise the advancements of the Internet Computer (ICP). Speaking in a recent interview with Coindesk, Williams noted, “In the long run, markets begin to reflect realities on the ground… But as yet you’re not seeing what’s happening with Internet Computer reflected in ICP’s price.”
The Internet Computer aims to change how the internet functions by allowing AI models to operate directly on the blockchain. This approach could let AI autonomously develop and update applications, reducing the need for human coding. Early demonstrations have shown AI running as smart contracts, handling tasks from image classification to facial recognition. The project positions itself as a “self-writing internet,” where non-technical users can create and maintain applications through AI-driven interfaces.
Despite these innovations, ICP’s market performance has not reflected its technological progress. The token currently trades at around $4.33, far below its 2021 peak of over $700. Analysts have offered a wide range of projections for 2025, suggesting that market conditions and adoption will be key factors influencing price movements.
Williams remains optimistic that the market will eventually catch up with the Internet Computer’s developments. He expects that as the platform’s AI capabilities gain broader use, the market will begin to align with the realities on the ground. For now, the gap between ICP’s technology and its market valuation highlights the challenges faced by ambitious projects trying to innovate in the cryptocurrency sector.
