Artificial intelligence-related cryptocurrencies were among the market&#8217;s biggest weekly gainers as the focus shifted to AI chip-making giant NVIDIA Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) upcoming second-quarter earnings.
What happened: The AI-based collaborative token, FET, pumped 50% over the week, emerging as the best-performing cryptocurrency over the past week.
For the curious, the universal token is the result of a strategic merger between three AI-based cryptocurrencies, namely, Fetch.ai (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/fet/usd">FET</a>), SingularityNET (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">AGIX</a>), and Ocean Protocol (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ocean/usd">OCEAN</a>).
Similarly, Render soared 38%, rising as the third-biggest gainer over the week. The cryptocurrency erased all the losses endured since the beginning of the month.
The Render Network is a peer-to-peer network that rents out idle GPU power to content creators and AI applications.

Neal Lux, President and Chief Executive Officer, remarked, "Revenue and adjusted EBITDA both came within our guidance range, and adjusted EBITDA margins held steady at approximately 13%. We delivered robust free cash in the quarter of $21 million and announced the redemption and repurchase of $73 million of our 2025 Notes. Following our strong first half results, we are raising our full year 2024 free cash flow guidance to between $50 and $70 million. We are committed to retiring the outstanding balance of our 2025 Notes and the Variperm Seller Term Loan around the middle of 2025.
"Canadian and international market outlook remains in line with our expectations. U.S. rig count and hydraulic fracturing activity trended down during the second quarter and are expected to continue their decline in the second half. For the year, we now expect U.S. rig count to be down 15%. This represents a greater decline compared with our initial expectation of a 5% decrease. However, our international footprint, the Variperm acquisition, and benefits from our "beat-the-market" strategy should mitigate this U.S. industry softness. Therefore, we are maintaining the bottom end of our guidance, but adjusting down the top end by $10 million. Our full year 2024 adjusted EBITDA guidance is now $100 to $110 million."

Artificial Intelligence (AI)-related cryptocurrencies were among the market's biggest weekly gainers, seemingly riding high on the rally of AI giant NVIDIA Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>).
What Happened: Fetch.ai (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/fet/usd">FET</a>), SingularityNET (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">AGIX</a>), and Ocean Protocol (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ocean/usd">OCEAN</a>) are up 8.24%, 8.39%, and 5.21% respectively over the week, outperforming market-heavyweights Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) and Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>).&nbsp;
For the majority of the month, both coins followed a downward trend. However, the rebound began last week, on June 18, when <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/06/39392932/nvidias-rise-to-surpass-microsoft-and-apple-as-worlds-most-valuable-company-linked-to-once-in-a-gene">Nvidia eclipsed Big Tech as the world&#8217;s most valuable company</a>.
Interestingly, shares of the company have fallen 6.6% since the milestone, and the company slipped to the third position in terms of market cap as of this writing. However, AI-linked cryptocurrencies have continued to ascend.&nbsp;

Why It Matters: The excitement surrounding the three AI-based tokens was linked to the grand token merger of FET, OCEAN, and AGIX to create an Artificial Superintelligence Alliance (ASI) token.&nbsp;

These AI-Related Cryptos Have Outperformed Bitcoin, Ethereum Over A Week: Nvidia Effect Or Something Else?

Editor&#8217;s note: This story has been updated with comments from Binance.
India&#8217;s Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) has levied a fine of 188.2 million rupees ($2.25 million) on Binance, the world&#8217;s largest cryptocurrency exchange, for violating local <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/06/39414114/uk-busts-illegal-crypto-exchange-for-allegedly-facilitating-1-26b-worth-trades">anti-money laundering regulations</a>.
What Happened: The Indian government mandates that virtual digital asset service providers, including crypto exchanges, must register with the FIU as reporting entities and adhere to its stringent anti-money laundering policies.
Binance has responded to Benzinga&#8217;s request for comment with the following statement:
&#8220;We are aware of the FIU&#8217;s order and are reviewing it now to determine next steps. We are grateful to have the opportunity to continue our mission to serve the vibrant Indian crypto community. We wish to work with the FIU as a reporting entity and we are enthusiastic about reentering the Indian market to contribute positively, should we be able to do so in the near future. We remain dedicated to maintaining transparency, fostering cooperation, and ensuring compliance with regulatory authorities.&#8221;
In an effort to resume operations in India, Binance registered with the FIU in May, following the watchdog&#8217;s issuance of show-cause notices to nine offshore exchanges that were found to be operating without compliance with local laws. 
The FIU also requested the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology to block online access to these non-compliant exchanges.
In a similar situation, the crypto exchange KuCoin registered with the FIU in March but incurred a smaller penalty of 3.45 million rupees.

Why It Matters: The scrutiny on Binance is not limited to India.
In May, Canada's anti-money laundering agency imposed a fine of $4.38 million on the exchange for breaches of its anti-money laundering regulations.
Additionally, Binance&#8217;s former CEO, Changpeng Zhao, faced legal repercussions in the United States. 
In May, U.S. District Judge Richard Jones in Seattle sentenced Zhao to four months in prison after he pleaded guilty to violating the country&#8217;s anti-money laundering laws.
As the global regulatory landscape tightens around cryptocurrency operations, these developments highlight the increasing scrutiny and enforcement actions against major crypto exchanges. 
What&#8217;s Next: This trend and its implications for the future of digital assets will be a focal point at Benzinga&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/events/digital-assets/agenda/">Future of Digital Assets</a> event on Nov. 19, offering critical insights into the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/06/39354760/biden-admin-officials-mark-cuban-to-attend-crypto-roundtable-in-july">evolving regulatory environment</a> and its impact on the crypto market.

Binance Fined $2.25M By India's Financial Intelligence Unit For Anti-Money Laundering Violations (UPDATED)

Roger Stone, a long-time friend and former political advisor to Donald Trump, has officially denied any involvement of the former president or his son, Barron, in the (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">DJT</a>) Solana (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/sol/usd">SOL</a>) meme coin, which has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/06/39410022/trumpcoin-was-launched-by-barron-trump-with-donald-trumps-approval-martin-shkreli-alleges">recently stirred significant attention.</a>
What Happened: The DJT meme coin, launched just a month ago, had been rumored to be an official project endorsed by Trump.
These rumors, although baseless, propelled the coin&#8217;s market cap to over $300 million at its peak.
It was later revealed that the token was actually created by Martin Shkreli, who claimed collaboration with 18-year-old Barron Trump.

</figure>
As speculation continued, Stone took to Twitter to clear the air, stating, &#8220;[Donald Trump] and son Barron NOT involved in any way with DJT.&#8221; 
This clarification came shortly after Shkreli had participated in a Twitter Spaces session, asserting that Barron was indeed involved.
Shkreli, known as &#8220;Pharma Bro,&#8221; stated during the session, &#8220;We did this on [Barron's] computer. He ran the programs. We spoke every day for 10 hours a day for the last week.&#8221; 
He also mentioned consulting with crypto influencer Ansem about the distribution of the tokens, originally proposing 70% for Trump. 
Ansem suggested this amount should be added to the liquidity pool instead, a decision that Shkreli eventually agreed was more strategic.
<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><a href="https://www.benzinga.com/events/digital-assets/ "><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="300" height="250" src="https://editorial-assets.benzinga.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/27091545/Benzinga-conference.gif" alt="Benzinga future of digital assets conference" class="wp-image-267246" /></a></figure>

Mario Nawfal, the host of the Twitter Spaces, shared these clips, prompting Stone's public denial. 
This development raises questions about a recent bet Shkreli made with pseudonymous crypto trader GiganticRebirth (GCR). 
Shkreli wagered $100 million that the DJT token had ties to the Trump family. 
GCR stipulated that for Shkreli to win, Trump himself would need to confirm his involvement.
With Stone's denial, it seems GCR might win the bet, but neither Shkreli nor GCR have commented on the outcome. 
Despite the controversy, the DJT token surged 15% to $0.01747 following Stone's tweet. 
It has gained 87% in the past 24 hours, reaching a market cap of $175 million.

Roger Stone Denies Trump Family Involvement In DJT 'TrumpCoin'

Ben Goertzel, CEO of SingularityNET on Tuesday shed light on the promising <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/06/39399129/bitcoin-whales-unload-over-1b-in-shift-towards-ai">use cases for AI</a> and blockchain technology in the near future, asserting that the most significant impact will be felt on finance, healthcare and entertainment sectors.
In an interview with Benzinga, Goertzel emphasized the ethical and democratic deployment of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and Artificial Superintelligence (ASI) through the newly formed Artificial Superintelligence Alliance. 
This alliance aims to counteract the narrow focus of Big Tech by promoting a diverse array of AI algorithms working together, fostering robust AI systems with a wide variety of capabilities.
Ethical Deployment And Democratization Of AI
Goertzel highlighted the ethical approach of the ASI Alliance in compensating individuals fairly for their data contributions, unlike Big Tech&#8217;s often exploitative practices. 
&#8220;We promote a greater diversity of AI algorithms, all working together, rather than narrow-focusing on a small set of algorithms as Big Tech is going,&#8221; he said. 
This approach includes utilizing a variety of compute resources, from home computers to data centers, ensuring a decentralized network for advanced AI purposes.
Challenges And Overcoming Adoption Barriers
Addressing the challenges of developing decentralized AI systems, Goertzel noted, &#8220;We have already overcome all the major technical challenges in creating decentralized AI protocols with a high level of transparency and security.&#8221; 
The main hurdle now is growing adoption in a market where Big Tech has already secured significant mindshare and financial resources.
Benzinga&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/events/digital-assets/agenda/">Future of Digital Assets</a> will explore how emerging internet technologies will continue to intertwine with and boost the digital asset ecosystem in a separate agenda point.
Technical And Strategic Advantages Of Token Mergers
The merger of FET (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/fet/usd">FET</a>), OCEAN (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ocean/usd">OCEAN</a>) and AGIX (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">AGIX</a>) tokens into a single $ASI token is a strategic move to create unprecedented scale and power in the AI ecosystem.
Goertzel explained, &#8220;Ocean Protocol excels in decentralized data management, Fetch.ai has an advanced approach to decentralized agent systems, and SingularityNET has focused on decentralized infrastructure for general intelligence.&#8221; 
This integration will accelerate the path to decentralized AGI by effectively managing data and connecting with commercial applications.
Applications Across Various Industries
The decentralized neural-symbolic AGI system being developed by the alliance is expected to have significant impacts across finance, healthcare, and entertainment. 
Goertzel pointed out that such a system will excel in areas requiring complex multi-step reasoning and creativity, making it highly valuable in industries where accuracy and innovation are critical. 
&#8220;For any business or humanitarian application where truth is important and AI &#8216;hallucinations&#8217; are not acceptable, this sort of system will have dramatically more economic and customer value,&#8221; he stated.

Ensuring Ethical Use And Development Of AGI
Goertzel believes that decentralized AI systems are inherently more reliable and ethical than centralized ones.
&#8220;Decentralized systems have more people with a sense of personal vesting in ethical system performance than centralized ones,&#8221; he said, emphasizing the importance of diverse involvement in assessing and improving ethical behavior.
Engaging Communities And Navigating Regulatory Challenges
Engaging with and gaining the trust of respective communities is crucial for the alliance&#8217;s success. Goertzel noted that their communities understand the need to join forces to compete with Big Tech&#8217;s centralized AI systems. 
Regarding regulatory challenges, he said, &#8220;Regulators are more comfortable with blockchain networks that are more thoroughly decentralized,&#8221; suggesting that the alliance&#8217;s decentralized approach will help navigate these complexities.
Promising Use Cases And Future Prospects
The alliance sees numerous promising use cases for decentralized AI across various vertical markets. 
Projects like Jam Galaxy, Mind Children, and Rejuve.AI are applying decentralized AI to music, robotics, media, and medical applications, respectively. 
The alliance&#8217;s foundational technology is well-positioned to serve as decentralized AI infrastructure across these verticals and more.
As the ASI Alliance advances towards a future where machines vastly exceed human intelligence, Goertzel envisions a transition to an open, decentralized, and democratized economy driven by powerful AI systems. 
&#8220;The ASI Alliance is ideally configured to play a leadership role in the coming transition toward an economy driven by AI systems that are both more powerful and more democratic and open than anything we see today,&#8221; he said.
The discussion with Ben Goertzel aligns with the themes to be explored at Benzinga&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/events/digital-assets/agenda/">Future of Digital Assets</a> event on Nov. 19, where industry leaders will delve into the evolving landscape of digital assets and AI integration.

Earnings Scheduled For February 29, 2024

Tokens associated with artificial intelligence soared on Wednesday as technology giant Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) reported a smashing fourth fiscal <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/02/37247922/nvidia-q4-earnings-highlights-revenue-beat-eps-beat-q1-guidance-and-more">quarter</a>, surpassing Wall Street predictions for both earnings and revenue.&nbsp;
What Happened: The company&#8217;s announcement that revenue is expected to continue its upward trajectory in the current quarter added further fuel to the AI token rally.
Among the AI tokens capitalizing on the upbeat sentiment was Fetch.AI, with its token FET (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/fet/usd">FET</a>)&nbsp; jumping more than 5%. Other notable increases included SingularityNET (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">AGIX</a>) which saw a 25% climb, and Render (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">RNDR</a>), which enjoyed a 7% uptick in the span of just 24 hours.

Why It Matters: The surge in AI token value followed Nvidia&#8217;s reporting of a net income of $12.29 billion for the quarter, converting to $4.93 per share. This marks a notable increase of 769% compared to last year's $1.41 billion, equivalent to 57 cents per share.
Despite the positive outcome for Nvidia and the crypto sector, Singapore-based QCP Capital in a note to clients, hinted at potential volatility: &#8220;A key event today that could trigger a wider correction is Nvidia earnings which will be released after the US close. As a major part of the S&amp;P500 Index, Nvidia&#8217;s performance could set the tone for US equities in the near-term.&#8221;
Price Action: As the trading day concluded on Wednesday, Nvidia shares saw a dramatic 9.2% leap to $736.93 in after-hours trading, following a slight 2.85% decline to close at $674.72 during regular trading hours, according to<a href="http://pro.benzinga.com"> data from Benzinga Pro.</a>
