The convergence of AI and blockchain has created a hot niche in the crypto space, with AI and big data projects showing impressive growth. Last week, specific crypto AI tokens saw significant gains. AGI led the pack with a 182% increase, followed by ALI at 138%. AGIX was not to be outdone, rising as much as 122%. The rapid growth of AI tokens, which have been on the market for quite some time, will likely lead to a surge in new AI-related assets.

Smaller market capitalization assets have not been left behind, experiencing substantial growth, reflecting the widespread enthusiasm for AI within the crypto community. The broad growth of digital assets dedicated to AI and big data initiatives could be a sign of the market’s response to the integration of advanced technologies with decentralized platforms.

Interestingly, industry leader Nvidia, which is synonymous with advancements in artificial intelligence and critical to technology infrastructure, is expected to rise 9% in after-hours trading. The rise in Nvidia's stock price is indicative of the overall momentum in the artificial intelligence industry, which in turn boosts the value of related digital assets.

This collective surge is not isolated to a few tokens, but a trend that is strengthening the entire AI digital asset class. Santiment's data shows that the market's growing interest in artificial intelligence and big data has benefited multiple assets. As the technology industry turns to integrating artificial intelligence into multiple aspects from cloud computing to entertainment, crypto tokens in the field are gaining unprecedented attention.
