Key Insights

• AI crypto tokens rallied as investors rotated back into artificial intelligence-linked assets.
• Bittensor, NEAR Protocol, Internet Computer, and Venice posted double-digit weekly gains.
• NVIDIA earnings and rising AI spending remain key catalysts for the sector.

AI crypto tokens extended gains this month as investors increased exposure to artificial intelligence-linked assets. Bittensor (TAO) rose 25% in the past seven days, while NEAR Protocol, Internet Computer, and Venice gained 26%, 25%, and 45%, respectively.

The rally followed renewed optimism around artificial intelligence spending after major U.S. technology firms raised capital expenditure forecasts.

AI Crypto Tokens Rally Alongside Artificial Intelligence Boom

The latest AI crypto rally tracked broader growth across the artificial intelligence industry. According to Statista, the global artificial intelligence market could expand from about $335 billion in 2025 to more than $1.32 trillion by 2032.

The trend has also supported AI-linked equities. Semiconductor and infrastructure companies tied to artificial intelligence demand have recorded sharp gains this year. Stocks such as Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), Dell Technologies, Micron Technology, and Western Digital have benefited from rising demand for AI infrastructure.

The move accelerated after Microsoft, Alphabet, Meta Platforms, and Amazon raised combined capital expenditure guidance to more than $725 billion this year.

That spending outlook reduced immediate concerns around an artificial intelligence bubble and strengthened sentiment across AI-linked crypto assets.

Top AI Coins Have Had Some Major Catalysts

In addition to the ongoing AI boom, these coins have benefited from some individual catalysts that may push them higher in the coming weeks. Bittensor (TAO) token has soared after Grayscale and Bitwise filed for spot TAO ETFs, which will allow American institutions to buy the token.

While a spot TAO ETF is a good idea, data shows that American investors are a bit skeptical of altcoin funds. While spot Bitcoin ETFs have added $60 billion in assets, most altcoin ETFs like Litecoin, Dogecoin, Avalanche, and Polkadot go for months without having any inflows.

Near token, on the other hand, soared after the developers said that they would add new quantum computing features. Its goal is to add post-quantum cryptography to ensure its security in the future. For example, its technology decouples accounts from cryptography and controls access through rotational access keys. It also supports threshold signatures in more than 35 chains.

The ICP token price has jumped because of the ongoing growth of Caffeine, its vibe coding platform. This growth has helped fuel demand for the ICP token, leading to increased token burn.

Meanwhile, the Venice token has soared because of its platform usage. Data shows that the number of API calls has risen, which has increased its revenue and token burns. This is important because of its business model, where customers pay for transactions in US dollars. The network then uses this revenue to burn its tokens, reducing the number in circulation.

Looking ahead, the next major driver for AI tokens will be NVIDIA’s financial results, scheduled for later this month. Analysts expect it to report strong numbers, with the quarterly revenue rising to nearly $80 billion. A strong NVIDIA earnings and forward guidance will supercharge their performance in the near term.
