managed a modest 0.6% gain after Coinbase revealed plans to list Binance’s native token for the first time. The announcement caught traders off guard, signaling a surprising truce between two rival exchanges.

The Next Crypto To Explode: AI Tokens Defy the Crypto Crash
While most of the market bleeds red, AI-focused crypto have emerged as rare gainers. The AI sector rose 4.51% in the past 24 hours, led by ChainOpera AI (COAI), which surged another 56.47% after jumping 25% the previous day.
COAI’s wild trajectory has become one of the most talked-about stories of 2025. After a chaotic airdrop launch, the token rocketed from $0.21 to $48 in just 17 days, a 228x rise, before crashing more than 80%. Now, it’s back above $23 with a $4.3B market cap, sparking debates over whether this is manipulation or genuine AI-driven growth.

Even with controversy surrounding its tokenomics and transparency, COAI’s rebound shows traders are still hunting for the next crypto to explode — and for now, the AI sector remains the only bright spot amid the ongoing crypto crash.
