After holding around $0.28 since failing to hold $0.30 three days ago and falling to $0.25, OriginTrail [TRAC] rebounded with strength.
In doing so, TRAC made a major price swing, breaking out of the range to hit a monthly high of $0.38.
As of this writing, OriginTrail was trading around $0.35, marking a 32% pump on the price charts. Over the same window, TRAC’s trading volume climbed 300% to $30 million while the market cap climbed 34% to $171 million.
The volume and market cap rising together signals strong market activity backed by steady capital inflows.
OriginTrail rides on AI narrative and Palantir comparison OriginTrail is seeing renewed market attention largely driven by the AI narrative. The crypto community has called OriginTrail a decentralized Palantir.
According to Chain Ink, OriginTrail stands out among other AI agents for its ability to remember. The decentralized knowledge graph provides AI agents with shared memory and built-in provenance.
Thus, OriginTrail solves the problems affecting other AI agents over truthfulness and verifiability. These traits have made it especially attractive for many market players eyeing to ride on the AI wave.
Cryptoguku remarked,
OriginTrail is a decentralised Palantir.
With the community amazed by its AI narrative prospects, speculative demand for the native token TRAC has skyrocketed.
Speculative demand dominates the market With the crypto market eyeing OriginTrail’s potential in the AI space, traders have jumped in to take strategic positions. As demand strengthened, the altcoin rebounded, and speculators returned, attempting to capitalize on the gains.
According to Coinalyze data, Futures Buy Volume climbed to 3.17 million, while the sell volume declined to 1.94 million.
Source: Coinalyze As a result, the Futures market recorded a positive buy-sell delta of 1.23 million, a clear sign of strong buying pressure. Historically strong speculative demand has strengthened short-term price performance, leading to more gains on price charts.
Profit realization spikes, threatening the rally As expected after OriginTrail rebounded from $0.25, holders who had been underwater rushed to cash out. According to CoinGlass, Spot Netflow skyrocketed to a record high of $518k, marking a massive jump from -$15k the previous day.
Source: CoinGlass A positive Netflow indicates more TRAC flowed into exchanges than out of them. Historically, higher exchange inflows have increased supply available for selling, thus raising market pressure.
Can TRAC hold the momentum? OriginTrail is currently under strong bullish pressure despite the rising profit realization. In fact, the altcoin’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) climbed from 42 to 65, reaching deep into the bullish zone.
At such elevated levels, the RSI suggested that buyers have significant control over the market, driving momentum.
Source: TradingView At the same time, the Directional Movement Index (DMI) further confirms this trend’s strength. The positive index rose to 42 while the negative index dropped to 8, confirming the upside strength.
These indicators suggest the prevailing trend will continue. If demand holds, TRAC will flip the $0.4 resistance, but if profit-taking continues, OriginTrail will drop below $0.3, with $0.26 as support.
Final Summary TRAC surged 32%, hitting a monthly high of $0.39, before retracing amid rising speculative demand OriginTrail has captured market attention over the AI narrative, as crypto traders compare the AI token with Palantir

RWA altcoins are gaining traction in June 2025 as capital flows into real-world asset protocols with clear utility and institutional backing.
Zebec Network (ZBCN), Plume (PLUME), and OriginTrail (TRAC) are three tokens standing out for their recent moves and technical setups. ZBCN is correcting sharply after a massive surge. PLUME is trying to stabilize, though its indicators remain bearish. TRAC is climbing steadily, supported by rising volume and infrastructure relevance.
The Rise of RWA: Stablecoins, Tokenized Assets, and the Institutional TakeoverReal-world assets (RWAs) are quickly emerging as the biggest narrative for crypto’s next phase, with industry leaders pointing to record inflows, institutional adoption, and infrastructure-driven yield as signs of a structural shift already underway.
“This is arguably the most bullish moment we’ve seen for real-world assets on-chain. Surpassing $22B in RWA TVL is more than a milestone, it reflects rising confidence in Web3’s ability to deliver real yield, utility, and transparency beyond speculative tokens. We’re currently seeing firsthand how investors are shifting toward protocols that deliver tangible value and real-world impact,” said Jordan Myers, Founder and CEO of EcoYield.
Myers continues, emphasizing the diversification of tokenized assets and the rise of infrastructure-driven yield models.
“We are witnessing an explosion of projects tokenizing things beyond just real estate, like clean energy infrastructure, including solar and battery assets, art, and beyond. This is the new wave of RWA protocols unlocking stable, fiat-backed returns tied to things like Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs). This isn’t just a bullish moment, it’s a transition toward trust-based finance, where yield is powered by infrastructure, not hype.”
As for risks to this emerging market, Myers is clear-eyed.
“The biggest risks are regulatory overreach, lack of liquidity, and unverified tokenization. If protocols race to bring RWAs on-chain without clarity around legal wrappers, asset custody, or verifiable yield logic, confidence could take a hit.”
Total RWA Value. Source: rwa.xyz.Kevin Rusher, founder of RWA borrowing and lending ecosystem RAAC, reinforces the thesis with data.
“Stablecoin data is showing a clear structural shift in crypto. According to OKG Research, 52% of newly minted stablecoins over the past 30 days flowed directly into RWA yield pools or institutional settlement hubs. This represents a unique turning point, as freshly minted stablecoins bypass centralized exchanges and other intermediaries to flow directly into on-chain financial infrastructures.”
Rusher adds:
“It also confirms what is now an undeniable fact within the crypto ecosystem: Real-World Assets (RWAs) are no longer a side narrative, but the most active sector absorbing capital in crypto today. The market capitalization of stablecoins has hit a new all-time high of $246 billion, up 3.39% since April. Combined with RWA inflows, this tells us that new crypto investors are seeking stability through stablecoins, but not just to hold them on the sidelines. Instead, they are using stables to actively participate in the crypto ecosystem.”
That activity is happening across the stack. With stablecoins anchoring yield-bearing vaults and acting as settlement rails, the gap between traditional finance and decentralized finance is closing fast.
“BlackRock’s BUIDL fund, now approaching $3 billion in AUM, is already working on using RWA-backed assets as DeFi collateral on Avalanche. Meanwhile, the market cap of U.S. tokenized treasuries has just surpassed $7 billion, reflecting strong demand for on-chain exposure to traditional assets,” Rusher notes. This is no longer theoretical; it’s happening. Large institutions are deploying into crypto-native systems, using assets tied to real-world value.
Now, let’s explore RWA altcoins to watch in June.
Zebec Network (ZBCN)ZBCN has posted an explosive rally over the past month, surging nearly 300% in the last 30 days and more than 117% in just the past week.
However, the rally is now facing a sharp pullback, with the token correcting by 15% in the last 24 hours and slipping below the $0.0050 mark.
ZBCN Price Analysis. Source: TradingView.The recent correction signals that profit-taking may be underway after a steep upward move, as short-term traders lock in gains.
Despite the impressive momentum, ZBCN now faces a key technical test that will determine whether this dip is a brief pause or the beginning of a deeper retracement.
The token is currently hovering near a crucial support at $0.0040. If that level fails to hold, ZBCN could extend its correction down to $0.00335. A sustained downtrend could push it even lower, with additional support levels at $0.0026 and $0.00216.
Plume (PLUME)PLUME is trading back above $0.16, showing signs of resilience despite a nearly 4% decline over the past seven days. With a market cap of $322 million, the token is holding relatively steady amid broader market fluctuations.
However, technical indicators remain cautious—its EMA lines are still bearish, with short-term averages positioned below long-term ones, suggesting the recent bounce lacks strong trend confirmation for now.
PLUME Price Analysis. Source: TradingView.If the current correction extends, PLUME could slip back to test support at $0.15, and a break below that could open the door to further losses. However, if bullish momentum returns, the token could attempt to reclaim $0.165.
A stronger uptrend might allow PLUME to push toward $0.183, and if that resistance is broken, it could rally to $0.209—crossing above the $0.20 mark for the first time since May 14.
OriginTrail (TRAC)OriginTrail (TRAC) has shown steady momentum over the past month, rising 20.35% in the last 30 days and 9.6% over the past week.
With a market cap of $236 million and 24-hour trading volume reaching $3.82 million, the token is gaining renewed attention as it moves through key price zones.
TRAC powers OriginTrail’s decentralized knowledge infrastructure, designed to support verifiable and trustworthy data flows for artificial intelligence.
TRAC Price Analysis. Source: TradingView.From a technical perspective, TRAC is approaching significant resistance levels at $0.48 and $0.502. A successful breakout above these points could set the stage for a move toward $0.548.
However, the token also faces downside risks if selling pressure picks up. The first major support lies at $0.44, and if that level is broken, TRAC could decline further to $0.406.
A continued downtrend might push it as low as $0.377, making the next few sessions critical for defining its short-term trajectory.
In the first week of December 2025, Coinbase—the largest US exchange—added five new assets to its listing roadmap. This move signaled a positive shift in recovering demand from US investors.
Additionally, Bithumb listed new altcoins. Although market sentiment remains fearful. However, several indicators show that US investor appetite is improving.
Coinbase and Bithumb Add New AltcoinsIn a new announcement, Coinbase revealed that five new assets have been added to its listing roadmap.
The roadmap is a list of tokens that Coinbase is evaluating for potential future listing. Coinbase emphasized that listing depends on support from market makers and the availability of sufficient technical infrastructure. The exchange will announce the trading schedule later.
Assets added to the roadmap today: Humidifi (WET), zkPass (ZKP), Plume (PLUME), Hyperlane (HYPER), and Jupiter (JUPITER)https://t.co/lyEugQo7Cv
— Coinbase Markets 🛡️ (@CoinbaseMarkets) December 2, 2025 The newly added altcoins include:
Humidifi (WET) – the largest decentralized exchange (DEX) on Solana by volume, handling over $1 billion in daily trading. zkPass (ZKP) on Ethereum (ERC-20), known for zero-knowledge proof technology that enhances data privacy. Plume (PLUME) on Ethereum, an RWAfi (Real World Assets Finance) platform integrating with Circle’s Arc testnet. It aims to connect traditional finance with DeFi. Hyperlane (HYPER) on the Base network, enabling cross-chain communication. Jupiter (JUPITER) on Solana, the leading DEX aggregator in the Solana ecosystem. Among them, Humidifi (WET) and zkPass (ZKP) remain largely unlisted on centralized exchanges. The remaining altcoins showed no significant price reactions after the news.

OriginTrail is an ecosystem building a trusted knowledge infrastructure for artificial intelligence. After the listing news, BOB gained 24% and TRAC rose more than 13%.
Liquidity Signals Turn Positive AgainThese developments came as the Coinbase Premium Index—an indicator measuring the price difference of Bitcoin between Coinbase and other exchanges, representing US investor demand—turned positive again after remaining negative for a full month.
Bitcoin Coinbase Premium Index. Source: CryptoQuant.The index stayed negative from November, indicating capital outflows from the US. The early-December reversal suggests that sentiment among both institutional and retail investors in the US is improving. This shift may support inflows not only into Bitcoin but also into other cryptocurrencies.
“Coinbase Bitcoin Premium Index just flipped positive again, showing fresh demand… US liquidity returning & the real move begins soon,” investor Money Ape commented.
At the same time, the stablecoin market recorded strong growth, reinforcing confidence in an overall recovery. According to Lookonchain, Tether minted an additional 1 billion USDT on Tron on December 3. This pushed the stablecoin market cap on Tron above $80.2 billion.
As a result, total stablecoin market capitalization began rising again in early December after declining throughout November. It now stands at more than $306.85 billion, according to DefiLlama.
Stablecoins Market Cap. Source: DefiLlamaLeon Waidmann, Head of Research at Onchain Foundation, expects stablecoin market capitalization to reach new all-time highs soon.
Coinbase and Bithumb’s addition of New Altcoins, combined with strengthening US investor demand and surging stablecoin inflows, may trigger an altcoin recovery in December. Some analysts even argue that the Fed ending quantitative tightening (QT) could ignite a multi-year altcoin rally similar to the 2019–2022 period.
South Korea-based cryptocurrency exchange Bithumb announced that it will list KRW trading pairs for two new crypto assets, BOB and OriginTrail (TRAC).
Bithumb Announces Listing of KRW Trading Pairs for BOB and OriginTrail (TRAC) The exchange aims to increase user interest by announcing that trading fees for both assets will be free for a certain period of time.
According to the exchange's statement, the KRW parity for BOB (Build on Bitcoin) will open at 15:00 on Wednesday, December 3, 2025, and the KRW parity for TRAC will open at 17:00 on the same day.
Deposits and withdrawals for both assets will be available within three hours of the announcement. The starting price for BOB is 16.90 KRW, while for TRAC, it is 738 KRW.
Bithumb will zero transaction fees for both assets from the trading opening on December 3, 2025, until 5:00 PM on December 5. However, it was stated that transactions made during the free trading period will not earn trading points or maker rewards, and unrewarded or suspicious transaction volumes will not be included in the Black Premium benefit calculations.
BOB stands out as a hybrid Layer-2 solution that combines the security of Bitcoin with the scalability of Ethereum. Its OP Stack-based EVM compatibility allows developers to leverage Bitcoin security while using Ethereum tools. The BOB token is used for staking, governance, and network incentives.

PANews reported on December 19th that, according to SoSoValue data, the cryptocurrency market continued its decline, with the AI sector leading the drop at 5.34%. Within the AI sector, Fartcoin (FARTCOIN) fell 19.81%, while OriginTrail (TRAC) and Kite (KITE) remained relatively resilient, rising 1.18% and 1.96% respectively. Additionally, Bitcoin (BTC) fell 0.80%, breaking below $86,000; Ethereum (ETH) fell 0.17%, fluctuating narrowly around $2,800.
In other sectors, the CeFi sector fell 2.05% in the last 24 hours, with Aster (ASTER) down 7.41%; the Layer 1 sector fell 2.75%, with Zcash (ZEC) rising 3.52% intraday; the DeFi sector fell 3.73%, with Beldex (BDX) rising 13.63% within the sector; the PayFi sector fell 3.74%, but Bitcoin Cash (BCH) rose 3.33%; the Layer 2 sector fell 4.44%, with Zora (ZORA) falling 12.56%; the Meme sector fell 4.76%, with Pump.fun (PUMP) falling 10.90%.
Getting listed on Upbit is the crypto equivalent of landing a shelf at Costco. The volume is enormous, the audience is hungry, and things tend to move fast. OriginTrail’s TRAC token is about to get that shelf space.
South Korea’s dominant digital-asset exchange will begin supporting TRAC trading across KRW, BTC, and USDT markets on May 18, 2026. For a token built around supply chain data integrity and decentralized knowledge infrastructure, this is arguably the biggest distribution event in its history.
Why Upbit listings matter more than most Upbit consistently leads South Korean trading volume, and the Korean won (KRW) market is one of the most active retail trading environments on the planet. When a token gets a KRW pair on Upbit, it’s suddenly accessible to millions of traders who have historically shown an appetite for moving fast and moving big.

Previous Upbit listings of data and AI-adjacent tokens have resulted in sharp short-term price movements and surges in trading volume. When Bittensor’s TAO was listed on the exchange, its price surged to $189.23 shortly after, reflecting the kind of aggressive local demand that makes Upbit listings a marquee event in token economics.
The fact that TRAC is getting three trading pairs, not just one, signals a level of commitment from the exchange. KRW gives it the retail firehose. BTC provides the trading pair for more traditional crypto-native users. USDT rounds it out for stablecoin-denominated traders.
What OriginTrail actually does OriginTrail has been around since 2018, which in crypto years makes it practically ancient. The project operates what it calls the Decentralized Knowledge Graph, a system designed to organize, verify, and make discoverable trusted data across supply chains and enterprise networks. TRAC serves as the utility token for staking and data publishing within that system.
Upbit has been gravitating toward projects with ties to data and artificial intelligence, two themes that have been dominating Korean retail interest. TRAC fits neatly into that category without being a pure AI play, which gives it a slightly differentiated profile compared to the wave of AI tokens that have flooded the market.
What this means for investors Getting listed on Upbit with three trading pairs dramatically improves pricing efficiency. Tighter spreads, deeper order books, and better arbitrage opportunities across global exchanges are all natural consequences. Before this listing, Korean traders who wanted exposure to TRAC had to go through international exchanges or more circuitous routes.

OriginTrail [TRAC] broke out of months of sideways movement after securing another major exchange listing.
TRAC rallied more than 77% within hours after debuting on South Korea’s largest crypto exchange. Several other catalysts also supported the sharp move.
Why did TRAC rally so fast? The biggest trigger behind TRAC’s rally was its listing on Upbit on the 18th of May. The exchange opened KRW, Bitcoin [BTC], and USDT trading pairs for the token.
At the same time, artificial intelligence [AI] narratives added momentum to the rally. OriginTrail continued promoting its push toward a verifiable internet combining AI, blockchain, and web infrastructure.
That move aligned with a sharp rise in speculative activity.
Daily trading volume surged more than 602%, crossing $40 million at press time. The spike reflected aggressive positioning following the listing announcement.
Volume growth also improved liquidity conditions.
Source: Ethplorer The Volume-to-Market-cap Ratio climbed above 8%, suggesting larger orders were absorbed without major price disruption.
On top of that, network activity accelerated sharply.
The number of transfers reached a year-to-date high of nearly 8,300 transactions involving over 78.85 million TRAC tokens.
Another catalyst emerged two days before the listing announcement.
OriginTrail introduced an Obsidian plugin, while holder count rose from 26.07K to 26.18K during the same period.
That history kept traders focused on whether the listing could support broader adoption through increased exchange exposure.
Even so, the next 24 hours could decide whether the breakout holds or fades into exit liquidity.
Is TRAC’s breakout losing momentum? TRAC broke above a five-month consolidation range and pushed beyond its previous yearly high near $0.48. The token traded between $0.28 and $0.40 for months before surging toward a daily high near $0.63.
The Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) showed the strongest buying activity recorded this year.
More than 2.02 million TRAC tokens were bought, while the Chaikin Money Flow (CMF) climbed to 0.61.
Source: TRAC/USDC on TradingView However, momentum weakened shortly after the breakout.
TRAC dropped from $0.63 to nearly $0.47, hinting at early profit-taking pressure following the listing-driven rally. That decline suggested the market may be entering a “sell the news” phase after the initial excitement cooled.
Still, TRAC faced no immediate supply inflation risk because its maximum supply already circulated in the market.
However, concentration remained high. Top holders controlled 54% of the total supply, while the two largest wallets held roughly 12% each.
Final Summary OriginTrail [TRAC] rallied more than 77% after the Upbit listing, which led to increased volume, liquidity, and the number of transfers. TRAC’s price action broke out of a five-month consolidation range, but the rally appears to be ending due to the ‘sell the rumor’ effect.
BTC is hovering around the $61,000 mark, and altcoins are slowly turning red. June was not favorable for cryptocurrency investors. Altcoins experienced significant drops, with losses exceeding 30% in some cases, reaching the lows seen at the end of 2023. However, in July, these two altcoins might bring gains to investors.
OriginTrail (TRAC)OriginTrail is one of the lesser-known altcoins in the artificial intelligence (AI) sector. The hype in this category has brought massive gains to many cryptocurrencies. NVIDIA’s record-breaking achievements and other developments have supported price increases. Moreover, ongoing developments in the AI field could serve as stable price catalysts in the future. The only issue is which ones will be able to sustain themselves.
Last week, the price increased by 17% and hovered near its seven-day peak throughout the day. The MACD indicates that interest remains high and that the price increase could continue next month. Buying activities dominate over selling. On June 25, the MACD line intersected with the signal line, which is considered a bullish signal.
If the bulls can sustain the price increase for TRAC Coin, the rally could continue up to $0.79. Otherwise, sellers will target $0.74.
Marlin (POND)The second lesser-known and equally risky altcoin is POND Coin. This altcoin is also working on programmable infrastructure services for DeFi and Web3. Despite BTC price fluctuations, its seven-day gain increased by 10%. By reclaiming the 20-day moving average, the altcoin confirmed its short-term bullish trend.
When EMA20 is reclaimed, investors expect further price increases. Seeing such strength is positive, especially when the overall market sentiment is weak. Even SOL Coin continues in the red despite the ETF application. The importance of positively diverging altcoins is high for this reason.
If the upward trend continues, the POND Coin price could keep rising to $0.02. In the opposite scenario, it will look for new lows near $0.01. At the time of writing, BTC was at $60,850 and was trying to test its main support again after recent sales.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) crypto tokens Render (RNDR), Bittensor Tao (TAO), The Graph (GRT), AIOZ Network (AIOZ), Golem (GLM), OriginTrail (TRAC) and RSS3 (RSS3) prices rally on Monday.
Apple is likely working on an on-device Large Language Model (LLM), according to Bloomberg Correspondent Mark Gurman. The report, alongside other AI-related developments in the past week, has fueled the AI token rally.
Crypto AI tokens gain riding on updates in Artificial Intelligence from giants AI firms made several announcements in the past week. Meta, OpenAI, Sora, Microsoft, Google DeepMind, Boston Dynamics and Tencent among others, announced AI-related updates. Gurman said that Apple is likely working on its on-device LLM. LLMs are AI programs that recognize and generate text and train on huge sets of data. ChatGPT is among the most popular ones.
Power On: Apple needs a low-end iPhone and a push into emerging markets to get back on track. Also: Apple’s next big thing is an on-device LLM; iPad availability dwindles; Vision Pro loses steam; and iOS 17.5 includes a change that may upend the App Store. https://t.co/A5gdasXhIA
— Mark Gurman (@markgurman) April 21, 2024 In the past week, Meta introduced two out of three versions of Llama 3, while OpenAI and TED shared a new Sora-generated AI video. Additionally, Microsoft announced a new model to turn a single photo or piece of audio into a deep fake and researchers at Google DeepMind shared a demo of autonomous ALOHA 2 robots.
The updates from AI giants have likely catalyzed token gains. Prices of RNDR, TAO, GRT, AIOZ, GLM, TRAC and RSS3 rally on Monday. The AI tokens postd between 2% and 13% gains on the day.
Crypto AI tokens
AI token resurgence Digital Bank Sygnum’s quarterly research report states that crypto use cases are evolving.
The report states that Web3 sector performance is driven by a strong narrative around AI-related protocols and decentralized physical infrastructure networks (DePIN), and a growing demand for decentralized computing resources, interoperability solutions, and data sharing services.
Anticipation is mounting as crypto analysts foresee a decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePin) supercycle. This surge, driven by advancements in Web3 and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, is reminiscent of the Internet’s rapid adoption in the early 1990s.
With DePin leading the charge, a transformative era seems imminent.
Which Are Top Altcoins For DePin Supercycle?After Bitcoin hit an all-time high in March, the crypto market has been choppy. Many believe that a supercycle will be imminent once Bitcoin ends its consolidation period.
“A DePin supercycle is upon us. We are entering a golden age where Web3 projects significantly enhance the growth of Web2 platforms,” crypto researcher Emperor Osmo said.
His sentiment is widely shared, with DePin poised to decentralize real-world applications that have been dominated by major firms like Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud, and Cloudflare.

Moreover, the DePin market is currently most active in the AI sector, which is undergoing exponential growth. As AI models become increasingly complex, the demand for GPUs has surged.
Hence, Emperor Osmo believes that projects like io.net (IO) and Aethir (ATH) are crucial in securing substantial market shares early on. These platforms are thriving by replicating the network effects observed in Web2 successes, such as Uber and Airbnb.
Cyril, a DeFi analyst, also talks about the potential of integrating DePin with AI. He specifically points to altcoins poised to make significant impacts during 2024’s altcoin season.
Helium’s MOBILE token is at the top of his list. However, the token has been down by nearly 70% since its March 2024 highs.

Although their smaller market caps suggest higher volatility, the foundational technologies they pioneer are vital for the DePin ecosystem.
Furthermore, Theta Network’s THETA token and the Graph Protocol’s GRT token are noteworthy.
Theta Network is transforming decentralized video streaming. Meanwhile, The Graph is organizing blockchain data to enhance accessibility—a key component for developing efficient Web3 applications.

Altcoin Daily has also provided a list of DePin altcoins worth monitoring, including Render (RNDR) and Filecoin (FIL). Each contributes uniquely to the DePin infrastructure, highlighting the sector’s diversity. These tokens highlight the growing integration of blockchain technology in real-world applications.
In an interview with BeInCrypto, Odeta Iseviciute, the COO at NeurochainAI, discussed other promising DePin altcoins.
“Many good projects have jumped on this trend. In addition to seemingly the biggest players in AI compute market that boast of large numbers of GPUs connected, we have quite a few interesting projects to watch. Gensyn is trying to fundamentally change the way the compute is done on an internet protocol level. Akash Network and GPU.net are both hard at work connecting GPUs and onboarding customers. We also have projects like Grass which aims to utilize the unused internet for scraping and training AI models,” Iseviciute told BeInCrypto.
