Trading saw a notable uptick in cryptocurrency prices yesterday, particularly those associated with artificial intelligence (AI), following the recent announcement by “OpenAI” regarding the launch of its experimental model “Sora” for text-to-video conversion.
Bitcoin climbed by 1.24% to reach $52,375, Ethereum saw a 3% increase to hit $2,910.84, and Ripple experienced a modest 0.16% rise to reach 55.96 cents, reports Al-Jarida daily.
According to data from the CoinGecko platform, cryptocurrencies linked to the AI sector saw an average increase of 7.7% over the past 24 hours. Notably, World Coin (WLD) surged by 30%, reaching a historic high of $7. World Coin is perceived by many cryptocurrency traders as a bet on the growth of OpenAI, given that Sam Altman, the founder of the parent company, is also associated with the currency’s issuance.
