- TAO, NEAR, and other AI cryptocurrencies have gained value in 24 hours.
- Several top cryptocurrencies have either plunged or made slight gains in a day.
- Intel unveiling its next-gen AI PC processors could have caused a price surge for AI tokens.
Top AI cryptocurrencies have surged over the last 24 hours. This is despite rising uncertainty in the crypto market worldwide. TAO, NEAR, and other AI cryptos have noted significant gains. On the sidelines, Intel has reportedly unveiled its next-gen AI PC processors – a factor that could have possibly fueled the rally.
TAO, NEAR, and Other AI Cryptos
TAO, for starters, has surged by 6.35% in a single day to trade at $285.77 when the article is being written. It further reflects a jump of 18.72% over the last 7 days. NEAR, even though down by 0.46% in 24 hours, has noted a decent gain of 3.16% on a weekly basis.
Other top gains in the AI crypto segment are ICP, RENDER, and FIL. They have soared by 1.66%, 5.29%, and 1.13%, respectively, in a single day. They are now trading at $3.19, $2.24, and $1.48, applicable in the same order. However, for TAO, the price rally could be a reflection of Grayscale filing a US Bittensor ETF. The update evidently pushed the token above $220.
Unveiled by Intel
For the remaining AI cryptocurrencies, a surge in their prices is partly credited to Intel unveiling its next-gen AI PC processors. Based on advanced Panther Lake processors, Intel made the revelation in Las Vegas during the CES trade show. The global availability is expected to commence on January 27, 2026.
INTC, currently down to $41.11, was seen jumping by almost 8% after reports surfaced. Lip-Bu Tan, Intel CEO, said that they were delighted to bring leading-edge chip manufacturing back to the US. He added that these were designed, manufactured, and packaged in America with the most advanced semiconductor technology.
Rally Defying Current Conditions
Top cryptocurrencies are either down or have seen only slight upticks in their values during the last 24 hours. For instance, BTC managed to gain 0.05% while ETH shed almost 0.79% of its value in the said timeline. XRP and BNB could also make only slight gains of 0.65% and 0.43%, respectively, in a single day.
Current conditions are being dominated by critical factors like employment data, seizure of a Russian-flagged tanker, and a verdict on the legality of tariffs. Furthermore, December 2025 inflation data is expected to be rolled out soon. All these factors, collectively & to some extent, are shaping the current price movements.
