Cryptoverse: Artificial intelligence tokens outpace record-breaking bitcoin

The artificial intelligence boom has hit the crypto market with a bang.

Coins linked to AI-focused crypto projects have jumped alongside tech stocks like Nvidia, driven by insatiable investor appetite for applications like machine-learning.

The rise of many AI crypto tokens has outpaced even that of bitcoin over the past year as the world’s biggest cryptocurrency has surged to record levels.

Their combined market value has ballooned to $26.4 billion, from just $2.7 billion last April, according to CoinGecko data.
