Grayscale flagging four AI-crypto plays:
$NEAR — positioning as cross-chain rails for autonomous agent transactions. Commerce layer bet, not just another L1.
$TAO — decentralized AI dev stack. Open alternative to centralized compute monopolies. High variance.
$WLD — biometric identity play from Altman. Proof-of-personhood primitive if bot proliferation accelerates. Regulatory risk non-zero.
$VVV — private AI inference infrastructure. Niche but defensible if enterprise demand materializes for confidential compute.
Theme: infrastructure tokens tied to AI utility, not meme narratives. Watch for actual usage metrics vs. speculation premium.
