Artificial intelligence-focused cryptocurrencies rose on Wednesday, defying the lackluster action in the broader digital asset market, despite the upcoming quarterly earnings report from chipmaking giant Nvidia (NVDA), CoinDesk reported. Large AI tokens such as Fetch.ai’s FET, Render’s RNDR, Bittensor’s TAO and SingularityNET’s AGIX have risen 4%-5% in the past 24 hours, CoinGecko data showed. The token (AIOZ) of decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePin) AIOZ Network jumped 7% on the day after announcing that the chipmaker listed the project on the Nvidia Accelerated Application Directory, where users can search for tools and services built on Nvidia’s platform. The native token of layer-1 (L1) network Near Protocol (NEAR) has gained 2% in the same period and became the best performing asset, falling 0.6% in the CoinDesk 20, along with moderate declines in Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH). Today’s broad market decline follows sharp gains over the past few days, which were driven by some positive regulatory developments in the United States and lower bond yields due to easing inflation fears. Nvidia's shares fell 1.5% before the close of regular trading on Wednesday, with earnings results set to be released after the close.
