  • Near Protocol, Artificial Superintelligence Alliance and Internet Computer Protocol, the top 3 AI tokens by market cap, rallied this week.
  • NEAR, FET and ICP observed weekday gains between 1% and 19% since Monday, September 16.
  • OpenAI’s announcement of a new series of AI models is the likely driver of gains in the AI tokens.

Near Protocol (NEAR), Artificial Superintelligence Alliance (FET) and Internet Computer Protocol (ICP) observed weekday gains of 9%, 19% and 1%, respectively, thus far. The rally in Artificial Intelligence (AI) tokens that rank in the top three assets by market capitalization is likely driven by OpenAI’s announcement of a new series of AI models called “o-1”. 

Coingecko data shows that AI market capitalization climbed 7% in the last 24 hours to $25.91 billion at the time of writing.
