Despite experiencing a turbulent week that’s left many majors including BTC down over the past seven days, key crypto sectors are bucking this trend. Privacy, infrastructure, and AI projects in particular are outperforming the rest of the crypto market by some considerable margin.
Figures from market analysis platform CoinGecko show the Privacy sector gained 71% over the last seven days, while Infrastructure and AI show gains of 23% and 15% respectively. The past seven days have also been kind to ConstructKoin (CTK), whose presale has seen significant demand.
While most areas of crypto are currently struggling to move higher, investors are turning their attention to projects within these three spheres in the search for investments that hold the promise for outsized returns.
Here we look at the seven-day growth figures projects operating in AI, infrastructure, and privacy.
AI Crypto Projects
The AI narrative is proving compelling as investors seek to ride the hype-cycle created by ChatGPT, Grok, and other LLMs. AI-powered OmniBank VPay (VPAY) is the top performer among these projects, recording growth of 385% in the past week.
The second and third most popular tokens in the AI space are Amiko (AMIKO) and Game (GAME). Amiko is a social identity platform which leverages AI to create digital twins, AI personal coaches or even ‘your pet monster’. The project’s AMIKO token is climbing fast with growth of 248%. Meanwhile, AI agent platform Game by Virtuals rose by 172% to a token price of $0.03178.
The fast progress of AI-related projects amid a weaker-than-expected October is fueling investor demand for increased AI exposure. One project looking to capitalize on this burgeoning trend is ConstructKoin, an AI-powered real estate platform tokenizing property development loans.
ConstructKoin’s (CTK) token is currently in the presale phase with available spaces filing up fast.
While average investors might be content to jump on this fast-moving AI train, smart money boards before the journey starts. The CTK presale is now over 50% allocated, with investors enticed by the project’s detailed roadmap, its yield-bearing tokenomics which promise an annual return of 8-12%, and CTK’s fortuitous positioning at the intersection between AI and RWA tokenization.
Privacy Is Key
The privacy sector is also doing well. The leader in the sector is another Virtuals project dubbed Mute (MUTE). Mute is a multi-chain swap protocol with optional privacy powered by zk-Proofs.
Mute has performed exceptionally well, even among this list of fast-growing assets. In the past seven days, MUTE is up by 463%, much to the delight of its early holders. Other top coins include ‘the future of cash’ YEC (YEC) and Tritcoin (TRIT) with its advanced cryptographic features. Both coins are trading up by 100% over the same period.
Why are privacy coins performing so well? Because privacy has been normalized at last and everyone – including institutions operating onchain – is clamoring for more of it. Remember, desiring blockchain privacy is no different to drawing your curtains at night to stop strangers from peering in through your window and don’t let anyone convince you otherwise.
Infrastructure for Blockchain
Rounding out our list are the infrastructure projects currently swimming upstream. Among these is the digital ID platform Humanity Protocol (H), which is ‘building the human layer of Web3’.
Humanity (H) is up by 272% on the week, pulling away from other infrastructure projects but it’s not the only infrastructure project currently worthy of further examination. Unibase (UB), the ‘memory layer’ for AI agents, rose by 52%, further demonstrating the strength of the AI trend, while React (REACT), a multi-blockchain coordination platform, grew more modestly by 28%.
Combines, these projects prove that the crypto bull run is still far from over. If you know where to look, there are still opportunities aplenty to be had.
