Chris Cyrille, founder of SNTIMNT.AI, discusses how his mission-driven approach uses AI and data science to transform volatile crypto markets into confident investment opportunities for institutions and family offices.
TAMPA BAY, Fla., Oct. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The cryptocurrency market continues to experience unprecedented growth, with the average revenue per user in the Cryptocurrencies market estimated at $99.9 in 2025. (1) However, recent events highlight the market’s challenges—the U.S. government recently seized bitcoin worth nearly $15 billion in what the Justice Department calls the “largest forfeiture action” in its history, underscoring both the market’s scale and its risks.

In the latest episode of Disruption/Interruption, host KJ sits down with Chris Cyrille, founder of SNTIMNT.AI, to explore how artificial intelligence is revolutionizing crypto investment strategies. Cyrille’s journey began with personal tragedy—losing his younger sister to leukemia at age 17—which inspired his mission to redirect capital toward meaningful causes like pediatric cancer research and first-generation student support.
“We take this volatility that you believe is volatility, and we make it simple for you,” Cyrille stated. “We’ve created this algorithm that reads the room… and is able to make an action or even give you a signal that something is going to be profitable.”
The Problem with Crypto: Volatility and Misinformation
The crypto market is infamous for its dramatic price swings, often driven by speculation, social media hype, and bad actors. This volatility creates an intimidating environment for new and experienced investors alike, making it difficult to distinguish genuine opportunities from fleeting trends. Meme coins, created as jokes, can surge and crash in minutes, burning investors who get caught up in the frenzy.
Cyrille explained the core issue: “A lot of people are running around with their heads on fire about this thing when they shouldn’t be.” He pointed out that while utility coins like Bitcoin and Ethereum offer more stability, the market is still heavily influenced by news and sentiment, much like traditional stocks. “People want to invest into a commodity that they feel like is stable… not based off of an emotion of someone just wanting to close everything. And now I just lost all my money,” he added.
An Algorithmic Solution for Peace of Mind
To address this, Cyrille developed SNTIMNT.AI, an enterprise AI platform that uses advanced algorithms to analyze market sentiment and identify patterns in investor behavior. By “reading the room,” the technology provides clear, actionable signals that help users make informed decisions, stripping away the emotional guesswork that often leads to losses. This approach offers a crucial advantage in a 24/7 market where opportunities and risks evolve by the second.
“Because of the volatility of crypto, I wanted to build something that made people comfortable investing into it,” Cyrille shared. “We created the algorithm to give users or clients a peace of mind when looking into crypto investments.” His ultimate vision extends beyond just profits; driven by a personal mission to support pediatric cancer research and first-generation students, Cyrille aims to prove that capital can both compound and contribute to the greater good. He concluded with a piece of advice for all innovators: “Keep the childlike wonder and to stay curious. I believe that’s where the creativity shows itself.”
