Another AI update, another pump.
OpenAI, the U.S. startup behind the mega popular ChatGPT app, released a new version of its software allegedly 1,000 times more sophisticated than previous iterations.
The biggest improvement is in the software's search capabilities, which will now accept images along with text input. The release of OpenAI's first Chat-GPT version last November gave birth to the market's AI narrative.
Since then, various AI crypto tokens have soared significantly thanks to market hype.
Amid the largely sideways performance of major cryptocurrencies, AI-related crypto tokens including Fetch (FET), SingularityNET (AGIX), and Ocean Protocol (OCEAN) have soared in the past day. FET, the utility token poweringFetch.AI, a decentralized platform that provides tools and infrastructure required for building an AI-based digital economy, is up 25% over the day, changing hands at $0.54, according to CoinGecko. Ranked 86th by market capitalization, FET has enjoyed explosive growth since th...
IntoTheBlock analyst Juan Pellicer told Decrypt that “it’s clear that the new narrative in tech is AI, and these coins are benefiting tremendously.”
He added that this can be seen when examining the token backing SingularityNET (AGIX), which is trading “with lower levels of correlation compared to the rest of the crypto market.”
Amid the latest GPT update, CoinGecko's data shows the gains in AI-powered tokens were far higher than the rest of the market.
SingularityNET's AGIX shot up 25% overnight, while others like Fetch.ai (FET), Ocean Protocol (OCEAN), and Numeraire (NMR) also recorded double-digit gains.
However, experts have raised concerns that the gains could be highly speculative.
CoinGecko’s head of research Zhong Yang Chan told Decrypt that “the current wave of investment in AI crypto is likely driven more by speculation than by fundamentals. Beyond the initial hype, investors and builders should focus on meaningful use cases that combine AI and blockchain.”
Delphi Digital’s VP of research Aswhath Balakrishnan echoed this sentiment, telling Decrypt that most AI tokens are “grifts” with “very few projects in the space trying to thoughtfully integrate AI into crypto.”
Nansen’s data for AGIX, FET, and OCEAN tokens shows no significant buying activity by wallets tagged as “smart money.” These wallets are identified by the Ethereum analytics firm as the most active and well-informed.
A sustainable rise in a token’s price is usually built after accumulation by smart money, which is absent from the current rally.
It’s not just mercurial investors turning to the new tech trend.
Elon Musk also appears to be shifting his focus from dog memes coins to the AI hype.

The billionaire entrepreneur posted two tweets this morning mocking the rise of AI technology. The first was a sadistic approach to machines taking over the planet, while the second hinted at the potential exploits of the porn industry.

Dogecoin (DOGE) is pulling the meme coin market higher Friday, jumping 12% in the last 24 hours as traders prepare for Solana meme coin launchpad Pump.fun’s initial coin offering (ICO) for its PUMP token.

Bitcoin hasn't stopped rising after breaking through to a new all-time high yesterday. As of this writing, BTC has surpassed $118,000 after having gained 6.2% in the past day, according to CoinGecko data. More than $81 billion worth of Bitcoin has changed hands in the past 24 hours. Bitcoin hasn't seen this kind of volume since January, ahead of President Donald Trump's second inauguration, and in late February, when Bitcoin sank to $84,000. Kushal Manupati, Binance's regional growth and operati...
Ethereum has climbed 8.8% over the past 24 hours, topping $3,000 for the first time since early February. The move comes following the largest single day for U.S. Ethereum exchange-traded fund inflows at $383.1 million, according to Farside data.

Ethereum remains down 38.3% from its all-time high of $4,878 hit in November 2021. The move marks a reversal of som...
