AI-related cryptocurrencies saw significant growth last week, while Nvidia shares lost over $400 million in market capitalization.
As of June 25, Fetch.AI (FET), Render (RNDR), and SingularityNET (AGIX) show gains of 40%, 7%, and 37%, respectively, over the past seven days. This growth occurred even as the broader crypto market was facing a downturn, with Bitcoin (BTC) and Etherium (ETH) losing 7% and 2.5% of their values, respectively, over the past week.

Huang has sold $79.38 million worth of Nvidia stock since June 13, according to a June 21 filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). This activity caught the attention of commercial research firms.
