Rise of AI Tokens and Altcoins in the Crypto Market
The surge in AI tokens’ prices coincides with investors shifting their focus to altcoins. Big data and AI cryptocurrencies collectively experienced a notable 15.5% increase in total market capitalization, reaching $37.36 billion.
Despite this, the global cryptocurrency market cap saw a modest 0.6% increase over the past 24 hours, reaching $2.5 trillion, according to CMC data. However, Bitcoin’s (BTC) dominance decreased from 50.1% to 49.7% during the same period. This decline indicates that investors have been accumulating more altcoins compared to the flagship digital currency.
