AI-related tokens gained after Nvidia (NVDA) posted earnings that topped estimations on Wednesday.

After the chip-maker's second quarter report artificial intelligence tokens, such as Fetch.ai (FET-USD), The Graph (GRT6719-USD), Injective (INJ-USD), Render (RNDR-USD) and SingularityNET (AGIX-USD) all gained.

The price action suggests investors see potential in the intersection between crypto and AI.

Nvidia shares climbed over 6% in extended trading on Wednesday after the chipmaker beat already high expectations with revenue of $13.51bn (£10.64bn), a 101% jump from last year.

AI tokens are cryptocurrencies associated with blockchain-based AI projects.

For example, Fetch.ai is dedicated to building infrastructure for smart, autonomous services, or "AI-agents" in supply chain, finance and travel.

SingularityNET is a decentralised, blockchain-based platform aimed at creating a marketplace for various types of artificial intelligence services.
