The Artificial Intelligence (AI) narrative is gathering steam among crypto market participants with the approval of the merger of three major tokens: Fetch.AI (FET), SingularityNET (AGIX) and Ocean Protocol (OCEAN). The three AI protocols have a combined market capitalization of $7.5 billion and could rank in the top 20 crypto assets once they become Artificial Super Intelligence (ASI) token.
AGI token prepares for May launch
FET, AGIX and OCEAN have joined forces to create an AI token to challenge the dominance of leading technology giants in the field of Artificial Intelligence. According to an announcement on Fetch.AI blog on Tuesday, the merger and the creation of ASI has been approved and with the combined efforts of the three protocols, the alliance aims to create a decentralized infrastructure to accelerate the development of an Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) development.
Alliance communities of Fetch.AI and SingularityNET voted in favor of the merger, which will proceed as follows:
- FET becomes ASI with a total supply of 2.63055 billion tokens.
- AGIX tokens migrate to ASI at a conversion rate of 0.433350 to 1.
- OCEAN tokens migrate to ASI at a conversion rate of 0.433226 to 1.
The three protocols will maintain their independence and enhance collaboration through the new initiative, governed by a council. The governing council will have Humayun Sheikh of Fetch.AI as Chairman and Ben Goertzel from SingularityNET as the CEO.
Ocean Protocol’s Trent McConaghy and Bruce Pon will have a seat on the newly-created council too. The official announcement states that ASI will be launched in May.
FET, AGIX and OCEAN prices are down between 1% and 2% on the day and accumulate nearly 20% losses on the weekly time frame.

Musk Pitches Bitcoin As Pillar Of America Party
Bitcoin briefly loses 2025 gains as crypto plunges over the weekend.Bitcoin experienced a sharp decline this weekend, briefly erasing its 2025 gains and dipping below its year-opening value of $93,507. The cryptocurrency fell to a low of $93,029 on Sunday, representing a 25% drop from its all-time high in October. Although it has rebounded slightly to around $94,209, the pressures on the market remain significant.
The downturn occurred despite the reopening of the U.S. government on Thursday, which many had hoped would provide essential support for crypto markets. This year initially appeared promising for cryptocurrencies, particularly after the inauguration of President Donald Trump, who has established the most pro-crypto administration thus far. However, ongoing political tensions—including Trump's tariff strategies and the recent government shutdown, lasting a historic 43 days—have contributed to several rapid price pullbacks for Bitcoin throughout the year.
Market dynamics are also being influenced by Bitcoin whales—investors holding large amounts of Bitcoin—who have been offloading portions of their assets, consequently stalling price rallies even as positive regulatory developments emerge. Despite these sell-offs, analysts from Glassnode argue that this behavior aligns with typical patterns seen among long-term investors during the concluding stages of bull markets, suggesting it is not indicative of a mass exodus.
Notably, Bitcoin is not alone in its struggles, as Ethereum and Solana have also recorded declines of 7.95% and 28.3%, respectively, since the start of the year, while numerous altcoins have faced even steeper losses.
Looking ahead, questions linger regarding the viability of the four-year cycle thesis, particularly given the increasing institutional support and regulatory frameworks now in place in the crypto landscape. Matt Hougan, chief investment officer at Bitwise, remains optimistic, suggesting a potential Bitcoin resurgence in 2026 driven by the “debasement trade” thesis and a broader trend toward increased adoption of stablecoins, tokenization, and decentralized finance. Hougan emphasized the soundness of the underlying fundamentals, pointing to a positive outlook for the sector in the longer term.
