AI-themed cryptocurrencies have taken center stage following Nvidia's earnings outperformance.
What Happened: According to CoinGecko data, AI-related cryptocurrencies are worth $17.2 billion, a 5.4% increase over the past 24 hours.
Bittensor TAO/USD, Render RNDR/USD and Fetch.ai FET/USD are the top three coins with single-day gains of 5.1%, 19.3%, and 16.2%, respectively.
Crypto analytics firm Santiment highlighted data of other recent outperformers: “Among top price risers over the past week, $AGI (+182%), $ALI(+138%), and $AGIX (+122%) have stood out.”
Crypto Tony, a heavily-followed crypto trader, tweeted AI will be "in the multi-billions" in the anticipated bull run.
Why It Matters: The recent surge in AI-themed cryptocurrencies tied into the record results posted by Nvidia.
Moreover, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin recently expressed excitement about an AI application, which focuses on AI-assisted formal verification of code and bug finding. It also addressed Ethereum’s current biggest technical risk.
A crypto trader, Crypto Curb, compared the current AI craze to the Metaverse craze in the 2021 bull market.
He saw the current AI run as "turbo-charged" and expects "tradfi fuel as boomer AI stocks also take off.”
What’s Next: Social media analysts saw further upside for AI coins.
One trader expected Render to go higher on "bullish momentum:"
I remember saying no one should take their eyes of $RNDR, well if you did, the coin finally broke through two resistance levels and has appreciated by 50% in the last 7 days.
