Trend overview for January 10, 2025

While most attention is focused on the latest pullback of Bitcoin and Ethereum, behind the scenes of the crypto world events are unfolding that could change the balance of power.

1. Secret growth of the AI token niche

Artificial intelligence technologies have burst onto the crypto market with a new wave of interest following OpenAI's announcement of a possible release of its own blockchain for training models. AI tokens such as Fetch.ai (FET) and SingularityNET (AGIX) have seen a rise of 15-20% in a day. Special attention should be paid to AGIX, as major players continue to accumulate it in anticipation of a partnership announcement with Amazon Web Services.

2. Phala Network: Local update with global potential

Phala Network has completed its transition to Ethereum Layer 2, attracting the attention of decentralized applications (dApps). The network has already started to gain momentum with its first contracts, and the 24-hour volume growth has exceeded 170%.

3. NFTs in the gaming sector: Immutable X is back in action

The partnership between Immutable X (IMX) and Ubisoft takes the platform to a new level. A new set of NFTs is expected to be released, which will start trading next week. The IMX token has risen by 12% in a day, and this may just be the beginning.

4. ZK-Sync and new listings: Prospects for LRC

Loopring (LRC), one of the first platforms to use ZK-Rollups, has announced integration with Arbitrum, which should significantly speed up transaction processing. This move promises an influx of new users and liquidity.

Conclusion (strictly my opinion)

The cryptocurrency market in 2025 is becoming increasingly unpredictable, and its drivers are changing. Instead of familiar mega-cap tokens, niches such as AI, Web3 gaming, and blockchain scalability solutions are attracting more attention.
