AI Cryptos, DEX Tokens Amid Top Performers Today: See List

Cryptocurrencies Surge as AI and DEX Tokens Lead the Market Recovery

The cryptocurrency markets are experiencing a significant upswing today, with almost every asset in the top 100 posting remarkable gains. Two distinct categories are leading the way toward market recovery: AI-related cryptocurrencies and tokens of decentralized exchanges (DEXs).

The top performer in the top 100 is VIRTUAL, the cryptocurrency of the AI agent platform Virtuals Protocol, which has seen an impressive 18.3% increase overnight. Artificial Superintelligence Alliance (formerly known as Fetch.ai, FET) is also among the top gainers, with an 11.2% surge in the past 24 hours. FET's market capitalization has exceeded $2.3 billion.

The DEX tokens are also shining brightly today. JUP, the core cryptocurrency of Solana's flagship DEX Jupiter, has jumped by 15.7%, while UNI, the governance token of the Ethereum-based Uniswap, has added 10%. Uniswap's (UNI) market capitalization is poised to surpass the $4 billion mark.

The overall cryptocurrency market capitalization has increased by 0.1% today, reaching $3.572 trillion. Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) have gained 2.6% and 2.4%, respectively.

Meanwhile, HYPE, the core cryptocurrency of the Hyperliquid DEX, has continued its impressive surge. In just one week, it has spiked by 45% and nearly reached the $38 mark. Its market capitalization has exceeded $12.66 billion, making HYPE the 12th largest altcoin.

As previously reported by U.Today, the popularity of Hyperliquid (HYPE) is driven by the trackable activity of "Hyperliquid whales," prominent traders who are influencing the prices of Ethereum (ETH) and Bitcoin (BTC). Solana's Anatoly Yakovenko has acknowledged the competition in various segments, welcoming the emergence of Hyperliquid.
