As a result of the AI wave in recent times, two crypto tokens stood out in terms of value addition, Render (RNDR) and SingularityNET (AGIX). Both the AI tokens have since January 2023 grew value manifold as the ChatGPT craze spread to the mainstream.
While the NVIDIA stock is seeing unprecedented growth, experts are weighing in the spillover effects of it. This week, the company’s market cap exceeded the $1 trillion mark. Meanwhile, Steven Ehrlich, director of research, Digital Assets, said the rise in value of Render and SingularityNET reflects the excitement around the AI space currently. However, he does not think the AI technology craze may not translate into full blown demand for the AI crypto tokens.
“AI is computationally intensive, while crypto is very inefficient when it comes to computing power and computation. So I am not quite sure where that fit is.”
Whenever new developments have been in the news about the AI space, the AI tokens picked up considerable demand. As has been the case with a majority of altcoins, the crypto projects generally gain popularity in parallel with the project development and adoption. The SingularityNET developers aim to build an Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) with high end capabilities while the Render network offers decentralized GPU based network for 3D assets.
