Insights into the AI trend with Spot On Chain
The bull run may be approaching, with Bitcoin likely to hit a new ATH by year-end according to our forecast. However, the altcoin season has not begun yet.
As such, Spot On Chain is launching a series of analytics on altcoin categories to provide a full overview ahead of the bull run. Starting with AI trending: we have highlighted key on-chain data and flagged important wallets to watch for 5 top-performing AI tokens from the past month, including TAO (+104%), ARKM (+81.8%), WLD (+58.4%), TAI (+13.6%), and FET (+12.6%).
