AI Crypto Tokens Climb As Nvidia, Oracle Drive Equity Hype

The evolution of crypto markets is in a new dimension, with AI crypto tokens taking center stage. Big companies like Nvidia (NVDA), Oracle (ORCL), and innovations like OpenAI were responsible for the AI hype bubble.

Together, these companies increased the market cap of assets associated with AI technology to new levels. The total market cap for all AI crypto tokens was $36.72 Billion, up by more than 6% on the day.

At the same time, the total volume spiked by 13%. This surge resulted from major collaborations by Nvidia and Oracle toward AI innovations. Having said that, let’s delve into the specific details of the situation.

AI Crypto Tokens Market Flashes Green

Looking at primary AI crypto tokens on CoinMarketCap, the chart was green, except thrice in the hourly timeframe. The list showed the top 11 coins in this sector by market cap and how they performed on the day.

Generally, these tokens climbed higher from their opening prices. Near Protocol (NEAR), which was the most capped, led with 17% gains on the day and 18% in the past week.

Virtual Protocol (VIRTUAL), Bittensor (TAO), Render Network (RENDER), and Theta Network (THETA) ranked among the top five tokens of the day. Their strong performance highlighted growing interest in AI and decentralized infrastructure.

However, only NEAR and VIRTUAL registered double-digit returns when writing. This massive performance reflected the ongoing activities in this sector.

Today’s performance suggests that the sector is well-positioned for a long-term uptrend. Wall Street firms continued to pour big money into AI development, fueling this surge.

Meanwhile, we will explore the two major events that sparked this AI hype bubble. Indeed, stocks with AI affiliations felt the impact. Compared to AI crypto coins, the stock market reacted more strongly.

The AI Hype Bubble: Intel Stock Surges 30% After Nvidia Partnership

Nvidia, the largest cap stock valued at $4 Trillion, was at the same par as all cryptocurrencies. Nvidia specializes in manufacturing AI chips. Also, its recent partnership with Intel Corp. (INTC)moved the market.

Nvidia agreed to buy $5 billion worth of INTC shares at an average price of $23.38. The two manufacturing giants will co-develop custom data centers and personal computing products. In the meantime, Intel will be building a custom CPU for Nvidia.

Upon this news, the stock price of INTC surged by more than 30%. It surpassed the $30 mark, as per The Kobeissi Letter. On the other hand, NVDA surged by 3.3% in pre-market. The ripple effect of the collaboration will be to reduce the supply risk and enable a tighter NVDA-INTC stack.

While the collaboration fuels more hype, a trader awaits a massive payday. The trader called $72,000 worth of INTC at $26.5 with the option to expire next week. The position will open and be worth about $1 million after the 30% surge, per John Trades’ MBA.

Oracle–OpenAI Partnership Fuels AI Crypto Token Surge and Market Optimism

Additionally, Oracle and OpenAI signaled their first hints of success for their collaboration. Oracle reported $10 billion in real revenue following its $300 Billion investment earlier. Oracle stock spiked by more than 57% when the partnership was announced.

This collaboration is set to impact AI crypto tokens like Worldcoin (WLD). It has affiliations with OpenAI. Sam Altman founded both WLD and OpenAI, and these two innovations have proven to be effective.
