Crypto AI projects OpenGradient (OPG) and USD.AI (CHIP) launched on April 21, backed by major institutions including a16z and Coinbase Ventures. Both projects have shown stable performance, signaling a shift towards fundamentals in the crypto AI sector. OPG raised $9.5 million, with 19% of tokens circulating at launch and a 12-month lock-up for investors. CHIP launched on eight exchanges, with a disclosed pipeline exceeding $1.5 billion. The launches mark the cleanest Token Generation Event (TGE) window for crypto AI projects in months, highlighting a trend towards tokens tied to real revenue streams, such as GPU financing. This development suggests a focus on projects with genuine business support over speculative token games. The crypto AI market is expected to see more tokens linked to equity via Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs) in the coming months.
