  • NEO outperformed with a 35% weekly gain, benefiting from perceptions of Hong Kong as an emerging crypto hub, with analysts highlighting its and VeChain’s regional significance.
  • Despite the downturn, AGIX and RNDR both rallied significantly in the past 24 hours; AGIX after a major partnership announcement and funding deal, RNDR buoyed by new staking features.

Neo is sometimes referred to as the ‘Chinese Ethereum.’

Analysts at Wintermute told The Block that Neo and VeChain are proxy bets that Hong Kong is emerging as the Asian hub for crypto, amid the Spot Bitcoin ETF developments in the special administrative region.

The basket of tokens was on many fast-money radars around June 2023 as Hong Kong opened up retail crypto licenses, with many trading it as a proxy for APAC flow.

AGIX’s surge comes after news broke last week that SingularityNET and Yunity would partner up and generate US$1 billion (AU$1.5 billion) in funding for research into artificial intelligence and “deep tech solutions for humanity.”

Additionally, last week news also revealed that AGIX would merge with FetchAI and Ocean Protocol to create an “AI powerhouse,” as analyst Miles Deutscher has put it.

Render (RNDR)

Render, although down 8% from last week, has made its way back up, gaining over 20% in the past 24 hours.

RNDR has enjoyed sustained growth over the past months, based on its strong position in the AI realm. Additionally, it was announced recently that Render staking is coming. This feature will enable holders to earn rewards by staking their tokens, effectively reducing the circulating supply available for trading and thus potentially lowering sell pressure.
