According to a report by The Wall Street Journal citing informed sources, ChatGPT manufacturer OpenAI is in early talks with investors to raise $40 billion in a new round of financing. This new funding would bring the valuation of the AI giant to $340 billion.

This could be a good sign for cryptocurrency related to artificial intelligence, as OpenAI's valuation has nearly doubled following the rise of competitor DeepSeek, which has helped the industry shake off some of the bubbles, bringing some confidence to the sector.
