NEAR Protocol Tops Crypto Market Gainers Amid AI Infrastructure Frenzy

The cryptocurrency market has seen a shift in sentiment towards AI infrastructure tokens, with NEAR Protocol leading the pack. According to CoinMarketCap's data, NEAR Protocol rose by 21.14% in the last 24 hours to trade around $2.20.

Other AI-related tokens such as Worldcoin and FET also gained traction, with Worldcoin rising by 12.39% and FET advancing 9.05%. These gains come after periods of heavy drawdowns for both projects.

The surge in AI infrastructure tokens comes at a time when the market is repositioning itself towards high-growth areas such as interoperability and identity verification.
