AI-based meme coins CorgiAI (CORGIAI), Turbo (TURBO), Grok (GROK) and Kitten Haimer (KHAI) rallied 43.8%, 25.6%, 5.9%, and 13.7%, respectively, in the past 24 hours. CORGIAI, TURBO, and GROK have sustained double-digit gains over the past seven days.

Prediction market tokens
Given the “extreme greed” state of the market assessed by the Fear and Greed Index, traders could take profits in assets that are rallying, fearing a correction or an approaching bubble. Nearly a third of the top 20 cryptocurrencies by market capitalization have seen a positive gain in their prices as market participants await the US Securities and Exchange Commission’s (SEC) decision on the Spot Ethereum ETF.
