Fetch.ai (FET) and other tokens tied to artificial intelligence have had substantial increases, even while the larger cryptocurrency market has undergone a slump. FET has performed better than Bitcoin (BTC), which saw a brief surge to $65,000 on August 24 before the price swiftly dropped below $59,000. Since August 5, FET has gained 80%.
The current rally in FET and similar tokens appears to be driven by the AI narrative, which has gained traction in 2024. The success of Nvidia, a leading chipmaker, has been a key factor in this surge. Nvidia’s positive performance, particularly in the context of AI, has often been followed by strong rallies in AI-related tokens. With Nvidia’s earnings report scheduled for August 28, investors are optimistic about further gains in these tokens.
FET, in particular, has seen a substantial rise, increasing over 500% in the past year and 90% year-to-date. The token’s recent success is also tied to its innovative use case. Through its AgentVerse platform, Fetch.ai deploys autonomous agents—programmable digital avatars—to execute tasks such as searching, connecting, and transacting in various marketplaces. This technology is seen as a potential game-changer in industries like travel, where AI agents can optimise hotel and flight bookings, and in the management of electric vehicle charging infrastructure.
In June 2024, Fetch.ai, along with Ocean Protocol and SingularityNET, merged to form the Artificial Superintelligence Alliance (ASI). This merger aimed to integrate each protocol’s AI features into a unified tech stack, further boosting FET’s value. Following the announcement, FET hit an all-time high of $3.48.
However, the broader altcoin market’s downturn led to a significant price correction, with FET finding a bottom at $0.70 on August 5. Despite this, the ongoing AI-driven rally suggests that investors remain bullish on the potential of AI tokens, particularly with Nvidia’s upcoming earnings report on the horizon.
