Grayscale has identified three cryptocurrencies that could benefit from the expanding AI industry. In a research note published on October 23, Grayscale Head of Research Zach Pandl pointed to DATA Network (DATA), USD.AI (CHIP), and 
Pearl (PEARL) as projects well-positioned to capitalize on AI's growth.
The AI sector's rapid expansion is creating significant demand for specialized infrastructure, including data processing and computing power. These three cryptocurrencies are specifically targeting these emerging needs within the AI ecosystem.
While the report highlights the potential of these projects, their market performances vary. DATA Network and USD.AI have not shown significant price movements recently, while Pearl (PEARL) is currently priced at $1.91 with a market cap of $680.81M, reflecting a 24-hour decline of 6.13% but a 7-day increase of 4.84%.
The AI boom is reshaping various industries, and the crypto sector is no exception. As AI technologies continue to evolve, the demand for data and computing resources is expected to grow, potentially driving further interest in related cryptocurrencies.
The broader crypto market remains relatively stable with a total market cap of $2.76T. 
Bitcoin is down 0.36% in the last 24 hours, and the overall market sentiment is neutral with a Fear & Greed index of 51.
Since this brief published about 1 hour ago, Pearl (PEARL) has moved from $1.91 to $1.91 — +0.00%.
The chart plots PEARL's price: grey is the move before this brief published, the vertical dashed line marks the moment it published, the horizontal dashed line is the price then, and the coloured area is the move since — from TLT's market data (daily resolution). It shows what happened after the news, not that the news caused it; many factors move prices. Not financial advice.
At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 PEARL ≈ ₦2,640.11 (about $1.91), down 6.2% over 24 hours. The naira itself trades about 3.9% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Nigerian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
