Analysis: Cryptocurrency Market Rebound Gains Strength, AI Concept Coins Outperform Meme Coins
BlockBeats News, January 6th, with Bitcoin holding above $93,000, the crypto market funds are shifting from Meme coins to tokens with actual utility value, with AI concept tokens showing the most prominent performance.
Data shows that in the past 24 hours, several CoinDesk functional indexes — including DeFi, Metaverse, and Non-Bitcoin Composite Index — all rose by over 4%, while the Meme Coin Index remained flat or even slightly retreated, indicating that market risk preference is returning to the "fundamentally driven track."
The decentralized GPU computing platform Render Network (RENDER) saw a 24-hour increase of about 20%, becoming the best-performing token among the top 100 crypto assets by market cap; small and medium-sized AI tokens such as Virtuals Protocol also saw gains of over 6%. Sui (SUI) rose by over 15%, XRP surged by about 10%, hitting a new high in nearly two months; in comparison, Solana (SOL) is still within a multi-month range-bound trend.
Analysts pointed out that the above trends are consistent with the optimism in the U.S. stock market towards AI and high-beta tech stocks. However, geopolitical risks and the upcoming U.S. non-farm payroll data could still affect market sentiment. In addition, several analysts believe that further upside in the crypto market will depend on continued inflow of funds into Bitcoin ETFs. Data shows that in the first two trading days of 2026, net inflows into Bitcoin ETFs have exceeded $1 billion.
