Crypto coins linked to decentralized artificial intelligence (AI) projects rose ahead of the AI-focused chipmaking giant Nvidia (Nasdaq: NVDA) posting its second-quarter earnings report on Aug. 27. In simple words, decentralized AI refers to AI systems that operate across a distributed blockchain network, rather than being controlled by a single centralized entity like Google or OpenAI. The financial transactions of these projects are paid in crypto assets.

Notably, the total crypto market cap also recently surpassed $4 trillion. Melissa Otto, head of Visible Alpha Research at S&P Global, said: “The assumptions and performance of Nvidia really dictates what the market is going to start to price into the AI trade, and that whole AI trade has essentially been driving the market this past year.” The NVDA stock was trading at $182.01 at press time, up 0.13% a day.
