For cryptocurrency investors, today’s price action has been mixed, with each of the top 10 cryptos by market capitalization dropping over the past day, as of 2:30 p.m. ET. However, as is the case on any given day, there are always outperformers investors are watching more closely, with today being no different.

Three cryptocurrencies with ties to artificial intelligence (AI)-related tailwinds are seeing marked rises in today’s session. As of 2:30 p.m. ET, Internet Computer (CRYPTO: ICP), Fetch.ai (CRYPTO: FET), and Chainlink (CRYPTO: LINK) are up 14.7%, 7.1%, and 2.9% respectively. Notably, Chainlink’s most recent numbers reflect a steep decline off of this morning’s peak, in which the token surged more than 15%.

These moves are all reflective of broadly bullish investor sentiment around the recent AI rally in risk assets, which continues to permeate the digital asset space. However, each of these projects have their own idiosyncratic catalysts worth diving into.

What’s driving these AI cryptos higher today?

Internet Computer just won’t stop moving higher. Yesterday, I covered the token’s surge from Friday’s close, noting strong momentum coming out of the weekend trade. That momentum has only picked up steam, with investors continuing to focus on the network’s recent announcement that AI smart contracts will be integrated into the Internet Computer network. 

These smart contracts will allow for an entirely new AI framework allowing for the development of AI applications, which the market is increasingly focusing on. If the network’s performance metrics continue to improve, as the parent company DFinity expects, this is certainly a project that could see much more upside from a fundamentals perspective.

Fetch.ai is a project aimed at democratizing access to AI technology via the network’s permissionless structure, which allows for open and decentralized machine learning and AI applications. This project’s open network design has led some experts to suggest that Fetch.ai could benefit from a number of utility-generating real-world verticals in areas such as smart energy grids, travel, transportation services, and other DeFi applications.Ref
