Grayscale Says AI Crypto Assets Gained 54% in September, NEAR Surged 183%
The performance was led by NEAR, which surged 183% during the month, according to the figures reported by Cointelegraph. The data highlights a sharp divergence between the performance of AI-related crypto assets and the wider digital-asset market over the same period.
AI Crypto Assets Outpaced the Broader Market
Grayscale reported that AI crypto assets collectively advanced 54% in September, more than doubling the 24% increase recorded by the broader crypto market.
The figures cover performance during September and compare a specific segment of digital assets associated with artificial intelligence against the wider cryptocurrency market. The source post did not provide additional details on the methodology used to define the AI crypto asset category or calculate its aggregate performance.
The comparison nevertheless places the sector among the stronger-performing areas of the cryptocurrency market during the month, based on the figures cited by Cointelegraph.
NEAR Leads Gains With 183% Surge
NEAR recorded the largest gain highlighted in the report, rising 183% in September.
The move places NEAR well above both the 54% gain reported for AI crypto assets as a group and the broader market’s 24% increase. Cointelegraph’s post did not identify a specific factor behind NEAR’s monthly performance.
As a result, the reported figures establish the scale of the price movement but do not, by themselves, explain what drove the token’s rise.
Grayscale Data Highlights Sector Performance
Grayscale’s figures provide a snapshot of how AI-related crypto assets performed relative to the wider market during September. The 30-percentage-point difference between the two reported gains reflects the stronger aggregate performance of the AI-focused segment over the month.
The data also shows that performance within the category was uneven, with NEAR’s 183% increase substantially exceeding the segment-wide 54% gain. However, the source post does not provide individual performance figures for other AI-related assets.
The figures reported by Grayscale and cited by Cointelegraph are therefore limited to the stated September performance comparison. No forecast or future price target was included in the post.
