FET Price Faces Unlock: Will AI Crypto Token Unlocks Dent AI Coin Prices?
AI crypto tokens are sliding, and AI market leader Fetch.ai (FET) could register losses during a big token unlock – what does this mean for AI coins?
Crypto AI tokens had a superb Q1 2024. And that was then. As of November 28, their market cap stood at over $36.8 billion, down nearly 7.3% in the past 24 hours.
At this valuation, NEAR Protocol is the largest by market cap. However, Artificial Superintelligence Alliance (FET), a merger of three firms, including Fetch.ai and SingularityNET, leads to a review of its performance over the last trading week.

is up 20%, pushing its market cap to over $3.8 billion, outperforming Render (RNDR), Bittensor (TAO), and NEAR.

Whether FET will rally and align with impressive gains early this year remains to be seen.
From the FETUSDT daily chart, the uptrend has been labored. Specifically, FET is trading below September highs of around $1.7 and stuck inside a consolidation in November.
The local support is $1.1, printed earlier this month.
If the crypto market recovers after the correction this week, FET bulls may ride the tide.

However, if Bitcoin and top altcoins reverse gains as bears build on from Monday and Tuesday losses, FET may drop below $1.1 in the short term.
The dump could be particularly hard now that the team is releasing more FET into circulation.

1.03 Million FET Unlocked: What Does it Mean For Price?
Earlier today, 1.03 million FET worth over $1.52 were released as part of the team’s scheduled linear unlock.
The unlocking today precedes another set for December 28, looking at Tokenomist data.

In both cases, there will be more FET hitting the secondary market.
Usually, when more tokens enter circulation, they dilute the existing supply. Since market forces of supply and demand shape prices, valuation might dip, especially if demand fails to keep pace.
The demand for FET is slowing down as attention shifts from crypto AI tokens to meme coins.
The merger of SingularityNET, Fetch.ai, and Ocean Protocol, looking at price action over the last six months, appears not to help.
FET remains flat and struggling against the wave of selling pressure seen in the last week of November.

While the first phase of the transition is complete, the transition of FET to ASI remains.
Investors Seek Alternatives: Enter Pepe Unchained
As FET prices flatline, investors are exploring alternatives. Of the many projects, Pepe Unchained is emerging as a strong contender, looking at the over $56 million raised in the ongoing presale.
Presently, PEPU, the utility token, is trading for $0.01295. You can buy any amount using ETH, USDT, or from your debit/credit card.
Pepe Unchained is unique, distinguishing itself from other meme coins. Its developers plan to build an Ethereum layer-2 for meme coins. Dubbed Pepe Chain, the platform will be secure, faster, and scalable – picking up where the original PEPE left off.
In anticipation of the thousands of meme coins set for launch, Pepe Unchained will launch an in-built DEX for smooth trading.
Pepe Unchained is also taking inspiration from Solana and Pump.fun. It will launch Pump Pad, a meme coin generator where users, even those without coding experience, can create meme tokens.
On the other hand, experienced builders can apply for funding from the “Frens with Benefits” program. After vetting, and, if qualifying, they will receive grants.
PEPU will list on leading exchanges in 15 days. After it happens, the token can soar.
Analysts on YouTube think this is the best time to explore and diversify portfolios, including those holding FET, with PEPU.
