Crypto AI tokens to watch after Nvidia’s and OpenAI’s latest moves: RNDR, ICP and SEI price analysis
- All top-five ranked Crypto AI tokens have turned profits over the past week, tracking Nvidia’s stock price recovery
- Nvidia has recovered 10% since the close on April 9, rising from $94.50 to hit $114 on Monday.
- SEI has emerged as one of the most-searched assets on Coingecko, which sets up a potential rally.
- Render Network, Bittensor, and Artificial Intelligence Alliance are all posting in excess of 30% gains on the seven-day chart.
The crypto AI sector is down 5% on Monday, but top-ranked assets including Render Network, SEI and Bittensor are still posting gains on the seven-day time frame. While traders appear to be taking profits after the late rally last week, fresh news catalyst from Open AI could spark another leg-up in the week ahead.
Crypo AI traders book profits after gains from US CPI inflation outlook
The crypto AI sector declined 5% on Monday, but top-ranked assets remain at profitable levels compared to last week’s lows. Notably the crypto AI tokens received major capital inflows last week after US Consumer Price Index (CPI) data shows lower-than-expected inflation just days after Trump rolled back tariffs on key trading partners.
As seen in the chart above, aggregate Crypto AI market capitalization stands at $21 billion, down 5% on the day. Despite the daily drop, only the sector’s largest player, Near Protocol, posted a loss, this one at -0.7%. Other leading AI-linked tokens such as Render Network, Bittensor, and SEI continued to post strong gains over the past week.
Best-performing Crypto AI altcoins this week
Render (RNDR) leads this week’s rally, up 45.6% over seven days. Bittensor (TAO) has climbed 30.4%, while Artificial Superintelligence Alliance (FET) posted a 35% increase.
Internet Computer (ICP) and NEAR Protocol (NEAR) also gained 10.3% and 6.3%, respectively, over the same period. More so, SEI has emerged as one of the most-searched assets on Coingecko, which might lead to a potential rally.
Sustained weekly gains across top AI assets suggest that the current dip is more indicative of strategic profit-taking. When assets post larger profits on a longer time frame, it signals that the current losses could be a momentary profit-taking event rather than a fear-driven sell-off.
Two Crypto AI catalysts to watch this week
- Nvidia rebounds 10% after unveiling $500M supercomputer plans
Nvidia’s 10% rally has revived bullish sentiment in AI-related markets. The chipmaker’s performance often correlates with optimism in risk assets after US CPI inflation data came in lower than expected last week.

More so Nvidia also announced the decision to commit over $500 billion toward building supercomputers within the US in a move to mitigate the impact of the US trade war with China.
Nvidia stock surged 10% in pre-market trading on Monday, rising from $94.50 on April 9 to hit the $114 level coinciding with the double-digit rally observed among top crypto AI projects.
- OpenAI could launch new ChatGPT features this week:
OpenAI could unveil new features this week, a move that could potentially draw attention toward the global AI sector. Back in March, OpenAI leaked news that it is planning to “charge up to $20,000 per month for Doctorate-Level-AI agents. The top-level AI agents would be able to write original computer code or carry out doctoral research.
Now, The Information is reporting that this product could be released as soon as this week.
Historically, such landmark announcements from the Sam Altman-led firm have often ignited renewed momentum into the Crypto AI token space. If this narrative catches on to the likes of SEI, the most-search project, RNDR and ICP could potentially see another wave of capital inflows as the week unfolds..
