Top AI crypto coins will be in the spotlight next week as NVIDIA, the world’s most valuable company, publishes its financial results. Historically, these coins tend to react strongly to NVIDIA’s earnings because the company has become one of the most influential players in the AI industry. This article explores some of the best AI cryptocurrency coins to buy ahead of the results.

Venice AI is the Top AI Crypto Coin to Buy

VVV token has soared by nearly 1,500% from its lowest level in December last year. This surge has transformed it from a small, unknown project into one of the biggest players in the industry with a market cap of over $645 million. 

Venice token will likely continue doing well in the near term, helped by its strong adoption and tokenomics. SimilarWeb data shows that traffic to its website has jumped in the past few months as more people use it. 

At the same time, the coin has increased its token burn metrics, reducing its inflation rate. It is burning tokens worth over $170k a month, a trend that will continue as its popularity grows. It has already burned 42% of the tokens so far, while the staking yield has jumped to 42%.

Demand for AI projects is rising, with Anthropic raising funds at a $900 billion valuation. Three months ago, the company raised funds at a $382 billion valuation.

Akash Network (AKT)

Akash Network is another top AI crypto coin to buy this year. It has already jumped by 215% from its lowest level this year and is now hovering at its highest point since October 2025. 

Akash is a major deal because of its business model, which involves leasing GPU to developers at a fraction of the cost. This is an important business considering that GPUs have become extremely rare and expensive.

Data shows that there are nearly 500 GPU leases today, with the amount spent in the last 24 hours nearing $4,000, a 30% increase. This is a sign that there is demand, a trend that may continue as the AI industry continues to grow.

Near Protocol (NEAR)

Near Protocol is another top AI cryptocurrency to buy ahead of the upcoming NVIDIA earnings report. It has already jumped by over 85% from the year-to-date low and has room to grow later this year. 

Near is a layer-1 network, which leverages the concept of sharding to improve its throughput. It has established itself as the top layer-1 platform for the AI industry, thanks to its speed and low costs. Just this week, the developers integrated USDC in its AI Agent Market. This is a major deal as it will help to ensure private stablecoin settlement in the AI economy. 

Near also launched Intents, which is the Universal Transaction Layer for the AI economy. It connects any chain, any asset, and any agent to ensure that value moves faster. In a note, the company said that Zcash was among the top assets routed through Intents, with over $1.5 billion passing through it.

In another major breakthrough, the government of Bermuda announced that it was deploying AI-powered public services on its confidential inference infrastructure. 

Bittensor (TAO)

Bittensor is another top AI coin to consider today. It runs an open marketplace where developers can build, share, and monetize their AI models easily. They do this by creating systems known as subnets, which compete to provide the best responses, predictions, and computing services. The participants validate the quality of the outputs and are then rewarded with TAO tokens. 

The most immediate catalyst for the Bittensor price is the upcoming launch of spot TAO ETFs by companies like Grayscale and Bitwise. These funds will make it easier for institutional investors to buy TAO.
