AI16Z Surges!

The 24-hour trading volume has skyrocketed by 129.5%, reaching $169.45 million. AI16Z’s market capitalization now stands at a solid $328.88 million. While the Bithumb listing has certainly acted as a catalyst for this meteoric rise—boosting the token from approximately $0.269 to $0.299—the reality is that AI16Z has shown consistent upward momentum since its launch. Since October 2024, the crypto has seen a remarkable rise of 2,106.72%, with its all-time high being $0.3059.
While AI16Z is currently among the top-performing AI tokens, the entire AI crypto sector, which was deemed as a prominent theme for the crypto industry in 2025, has also seen positive trends. AI-related tokens, which constitutes 0.47% of the total DeFi market, have seen a 4.11% uptick in the past 24 hours and now have a total market cap of $25.959 billion.
