Top AI cryptocurrencies to short amid elevated hype

  • Artificial Intelligence (AI) assets have surged in 2023.

  • In the US, C3.ai stock price has more than doubled.

  • AI cryptocurrencies like SingularityNET, Fetch, and ALI have surged.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been the most popular phrase in 2023 following the successful unveiling of ChatGPT by OpenAI. In the aftermath, most investors have flooded to AI assets. In stocks, the C3.ai stock price has soared by over 124% in the past 30 days. 

The performance has also happened in the crypto industry. Recently, Justin Sun, the founder of Tron announced that his organization will start working on AI. At the same time, many cryptocurrencies with an AI and big data tilt have done well. 

However, historically, such parabolic moves end in tears. For example, in 2021, the talk of town was on the best metaverse cryptocurrencies like Decentraland and Sandbox. Their tokens then crashed in 2022. Similarly, gaming cryptocurrencies like Gala and MOBOX also crashed.

Therefore, it might be rewarding to be contrarian and short some of the high-flying AI cryptocurrencies that are soaring.

SingularityNET | AGIX and SDAO

SingularityNET’s tokes, AGIX and SDAO have surged in the past few months. They have jumped by 647% and 340%, respectively in the past 30 days. According to CoinMarketCap, they have soared by 195% and 252% in the past 7 days. This makes them some of the best-performing coins in the industry. 

SingularityNET is building a decentralized AI platform where anyone can search and buy AI products. Developers can also build and sell their AI products. It also has a Domain Specific Language (DSL). While the ecosystem is growing, I suspect that the AGIX and SDAO prices will retreat soon, as I wrote in this article.

Fetch.ai | FET

Fetch.ai is another AI cryptocurrency that has done well in 2022. The token has surged by over 200% in the past 30 days and by 90% in the past 30 days. Fetch is a platform that builds autonomous agents that help developers to automate repeatable processes. It helps to power peer-to-peer applications with automation and AI.

Like SingularityNET, the main reason why FET price has jumped is because of its AI tools. It also introduced staking a few months ago and got listed by several exchanges. However, with no major catalysts, I suspect that the coin will come back to earth as momentum wanes.

Artificial Liquid Intelligence | ALI

Artificial Liquid Intelligence has moved from nowhere to become one of the biggest cryptocurrencies in the world. ALI, its token is now valued at over $280 million. Yet little is known about the coin, other than the fact that its name has AI in it. Reminds me of when bogus companies used to introduce dot com suffix during the dot com bubble. 

ALI is the native token for Alethea AI, which describes itself as the world’s first multimodal AI system that generates characters from natural language. According to its website, it is backed by Binance, Crypto.com, and Multicoin Capital. Therefore, like Fetch and Singularity, I suspect that ALI price will nosedive soon.

Please note that this criticism is based purely on price action and the fact the ongoing rally is not sustainable. It is also guided by the statement that investors should always be greedy when everyone is greedy.

How to buy Artificial Liquid Intelligence

As ALI is such a new asset, it’s yet to be listed on major exchanges. You can still purchase ALI using a DEX (decentralised exchange) though, which just means there are a few extra steps. To buy ALI right now, follow these steps:

1. Buy ETH on a regulated exchange or broker, like eToro ›

We suggest eToro because it’s one of the world’s leading multi-asset trading platforms, an exchange and wallet all-in-one with some of the lowest fees in the industry. It’s also beginner-friendly, and has more payment methods available to users than any other available service.

2. Send your ETH to a compatible wallet like Trust Wallet or MetaMask

You’ll need to create your wallet, grab your address, and send your coins there.

3. Connect your wallet to the 1Inch DEX

Head to 1Inch, and ‚connect‘ your wallet to it.

4. You can now swap your ETH for ALI

Now that you’re connected, you’ll be able to swap for 100s of coins including ALI.

The Sandbox and Saudi Arabia to collaborate on metaverse projects

  • The Sandbox has signed a memorandum of understanding with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

  • The partnership will see the two entities work on metaverse projects.

  • The Sandbox is yet to reveal details explaining the scope of the agreement.

The Sandbox partners with Saudi Arabia

Sandbox co-founder and COO Sebastien Borget announced via LinkedIn a few hours ago that the metaverse gaming platform has entered an agreement with Saudi Arabia.

However, the complete details of the agreement were not provided. While revealing this latest partnership, Borget said;

“It was a true honor to sign our MOU partnership ceremony between The Sandbox and the Saudi Arabia Digital Government Authority (DGA) during the leap2023 conference, and we look forward to exploring, advising and supporting mutually each other in activations of the Metaverse!”

The Sandbox’s co-founder and Saudi Arabia’s DGA signed the MoU while attending the ongoing Leap Tech Conference in the Saudi capital of Riyadh. The tech conference began on February 6th and is set to end on February 9th. 

Borget pointed out that while he could not provide further details regarding The Sandbox’s agreement with the Saudi Arabian government, more information would be provided over the coming weeks. 

SAND rallies following the partnership news

This latest cryptocurrency news has seen SAND, the native token of The Sandbox ecosystem, outperform the broader crypto market. At press time, the price of The Sandbox stands at $0.8943, up by more than 23% in the last 24 hours.

The Sandbox has been a major metaverse project in the cryptocurrency space in recent years. However, it is yet to achieve massive adoption as the metaverse ecosystem is still in its early days. 

The Sandbox is a virtual space where users are allowed to create their own mini-universe within the game. 

In 2021, The Sandbox raised $93 million in a Series B round led by SoftBank’s Vision Fund. The company was also reportedly seeking to raise another $400 million, which would bring its valuation to roughly $4 billion. 

The partnership with Saudi Arabia doesn’t come as a surprise due to the fast-rising adoption of web3 in the Middle East. Saudi Arabia and the United Arabs Emirates are leading the way in this regard thanks to the policies and investments related to web3, crypto, and the metaverse, they have been rolling out.

Here’s why Gifto (GFT) price just went parabolic

  • Gifto is a blockchain project in the gifting vertical.

  • The token soared after exchanges like Binance and Gate.io listed it.

Gifto price has just gone vertical as the gifting platform continued its evolution. GFT token surged by over 170% in the past 24 hours, according to data compiled by Binance. It jumped to a high of $0.080 as investors welcomed the new developments. 

GFT listed by Binance

Gifto is a blockchain project that was launched in 2017. It operates in the gifting space, where it helps people create, store, and gift blockchain presents to friends and loved ones. Users can also send crypto gifts to charities.

The main catalyst for the ongoing Gifto price rally is the ongoing token swap. The developers started transitioning from GTO, the previous token, to GFT. GTO is an ERC token while GFT is based on Binance’s standard of BEP20.

The other catalyst for the GFT price is that Binance has completed relisting the token as part of its support for the current transition. Binance joins other exchanges that have listed GFT in the past few days. For example, MEXC listed Gifto in its Innovation Zone, making it available to thousands of people. Further, Bitget has also completed the GFT token swap and listed GFT/USDT in its AI zone.

Other exchanges like Gate.io, Bitrue, and OKX are also taking part in the token swap. Historically, cryptocurrency prices tend to do well after being listed by major exchanges like Binance and Coinbase.

Gifto staking upcoming

Meanwhile, Gifto announced that staking will start this week. In a statement last week, the developers announced that GFT holders will be able to deposit their coins and earn rewards this week. The developers are pushing their megaexpansion.

However, it is unclear whether the current rally will continue. Historically, crypto prices tend to rally for a while amid the listing momentum and then pulls back as the momentum fades. 

At this moment, it is impossible to do a real quantitative GFT price prediction because it is trading for the first day in most platforms. However, I suspect that the GFT/USDT price will retreat and possibly retest the important support level at $0.050.

Bitcoin ignores the recent dollar’s strength; positive momentum builds up

  • Bitcoin diverges from the FX market and ignores the recent dollar’s strength
  • Positive momentum builds up
  • Possible pennant formation points to a move above $30k

The US dollar reacted to the recent monetary policy decision in the United States and the strong economic data for January. As such, it gained against its peers, with the best example being EUR/USD.

The exchange rate dropped from above 1.10 more than three big figures (i.e., three hundred pips). But Bitcoin ignored the dollar’s strength.

Indeed, the price action corrected a bit, but that was pretty much all. Instead of correlating with the FX market, Bitcoin diverges as bullish conditions remain. Moreover, momentum builds up, with another leg higher possible.

Possible pennant hints at a move above $30k

Bitcoin builds momentum just below the main resistance. Back in the summer of 2022, Bitcoin failed at $24k.

It tried its hand three times in a row, lost the momentum, and made a new lower low in the last months of the year. But the 2023 rally erased all that weakness.

The consolidation below the resistance looks like a triangular formation. More precisely, like a pennant.

A pennant’s measured move is equal to the distance prior to the pennant, projected from the pennant. In other words, it points to above $30k, should Bitcoin overcomes resistance.

If Bitcoin leads the way for the dollar, it should be used as a benchmark for the FX market. Therefore, one should not be surprised to see the EUR/USD making a new high for the year and erasing all the NFP losses.

For Bitcoin to trade above $30k the dollar should not diverge. Hence, the chances are high for the dollar’s strength in reaction to the January NFP report to be transitory.
