## Summary

The video discusses the current crypto market dip, focusing on AI altcoins that have dropped significantly. The creator, Danny from In The Money, outlines his plan to accumulate Near Protocol, Bittensor (TAO), and Venice at current levels, citing AI IPOs and historical bottom patterns as catalysts for a potential rebound.

### Key Points

- **Market Uncertainty and AI Altcoin Dips** [00:01] — The crypto market is seeing doubt and uncertainty. Bitcoin is down 4% over seven days, XRP down 9%, and Hyperliquid below $55. AI altcoins are taking massive dips, creating an opportunity to accumulate.
- **AI Altcoins to Lead the Next Cycle** [00:30] — The creator believes AI altcoins will still lead the charge this cycle, so he is eyeing which coins to DCA into if the market goes risk-off.
- **Monitoring Hyperliquid** [01:08] — If Hyperliquid goes into the low $50s or even $40s, the creator will add to his long-term Hyperliquid holdings via DCA.
- **FOMC Meeting as Key Event** [01:41] — Rand notes that when stocks sell off, crypto usually falls harder. The big landmark is tomorrow's FOMC meeting.
- **Expected Bear Market Bottom** [02:29] — Historically, 12 to 14 months after the previous all-time high marks the bottom. The creator eyes September/October as the bottom and plans to buy into October.
- **AI Sector Getting Crushed** [03:51] — Top altcoins are hit, and AI is the sector being absolutely crushed. However, the creator still believes AI altcoins will lead the next cycle.
- **AI IPO Catalysts** [04:41] — When Anthropic goes live or OpenAI has an IPO, a massive influx of capital and attention will hit the AI sector. Getting positioned in crypto AI ahead of that is key.
- **Near Protocol Price Action and Metrics** [05:18] — Near Protocol hit a high of $3.18, a low of 96 cents, ripped to $2.81, now at $1.60. It has settled $24 billion in cross-chain swaps and is a leading project in AI-agent commerce.
- **Bittensor TAO Thesis** [06:32] — Jensen Huang said, "Imagine a universal currency called intelligence... TAO is building the market for intelligence itself." Bittensor has 128 subnets and new ones like Subnet 53 are posting 150-170% gains.
- **Venice Short-Term Outlook** [08:21] — Venice is holding up and has a liquidity wall around $1.12. Despite a $65M Series A raise and FUD, the creator expects it to surpass its $20 all-time high when AI heats up.
- **Recommended Buy Levels** [09:46] — The creator is willing to DCA at $1.60 on Near Protocol, buy Bittensor in the $180s-$170s (yearly low $145), and sees $190 as a good risk for a single TAO.
- **Bottom Formation and Final Plan** [10:55] — AI alts are forming close to a bottom. The creator is comfortable buying across Near, TAO, and Venice today, and will add more if they slide lower.

### Conclusion

The creator sees AI altcoins as the must-hold narrative for the next cycle and believes current dips offer a strategic entry point. By DCA into Near Protocol, Bittensor, and Venice at key levels, he positions for a potential rebound into autumn.

## Transcript

some doubt and uncertainty in the stock market&nbsp; and wondering what it could do to the crypto&nbsp;&nbsp; market. So, in this video, I am going to&nbsp; go over the short-term market forecast,&nbsp;&nbsp;
where I actually see the market trending back up,&nbsp; and most importantly for the topic of this video,&nbsp;&nbsp; AI altcoins. AI altcoins are taking massive&nbsp; dips right now. And I think it is getting to&nbsp;&nbsp; a point where you have to start scooping&nbsp; some of these prices because AI altcoins&nbsp;&nbsp;
will still lead the charge this cycle. So,&nbsp; let us go ahead and jump right into it. Guys, if you are new here on In The Money, we go&nbsp; over everything that you need to win across crypto&nbsp;&nbsp; prediction markets and more. So, hit the links&nbsp; down below in the description, like the video,&nbsp;&nbsp;
and subscribe to the channel for more. Let us just&nbsp; go ahead and jump right into the markets today. As&nbsp;&nbsp; we see here, Bitcoin is kind of just lagging. It&nbsp; is down 4% over the seven days. Not a huge move,&nbsp;&nbsp;
but definitely grinding downward. We see XRP down&nbsp; 9%. We see Hyperliquid down below $55. If you guys&nbsp;&nbsp; were watching the channel a couple of weeks ago,&nbsp; I said that I would be monitoring this situation.&nbsp;&nbsp;
And if it goes into the low $50s or even into&nbsp; the $40s, I will absolutely be adding a DCA&nbsp;&nbsp; to my long-term Hyperliquid holdings. So, that&nbsp; is something I am absolutely monitoring here. And look, like I said, a lot of people are&nbsp; uncertain as to what is going to happen in the&nbsp;&nbsp;
markets. Kyle says if Bitcoin dumps, altcoins get&nbsp; absolutely rinsed. If the market goes risk-off,&nbsp;&nbsp; these altcoins are going to get hit very hard.&nbsp; Which is why I am already starting to eye which&nbsp;&nbsp; AI altcoins I want to start DCA into when this&nbsp; does happen. And then we see Rand, of course,&nbsp;&nbsp;
when stocks sell off, crypto usually falls even&nbsp; harder. Right now they have been outperforming,&nbsp;&nbsp; and his big landmark right now is&nbsp; tomorrow's FOMC meeting. And look,&nbsp;&nbsp; summertime is always traditionally a slower time&nbsp; in the markets. Even the stock market has come&nbsp;&nbsp;
to a little bit of, I am not going to call it a&nbsp; halt, but definitely the gains have slowed down,&nbsp;&nbsp; right? We have been into this massive crypto,&nbsp; or the stock market bull run, pardon me,&nbsp;&nbsp; for quite a while. And I think just tapering off a&nbsp; little bit in the summertimes during lower volume&nbsp;&nbsp;
months is usually normal. Like in the summertime,&nbsp; I do not really see that as a negative. And I am&nbsp;&nbsp; actually eyeing this fall for a bounce in not only&nbsp; the stock market but also crypto most importantly. I think around September, October, we&nbsp; mark the ultimate bottom, quote unquote,&nbsp;&nbsp;
of the bear market. I think that is the time where&nbsp; crypto is going to go more risk-on. Traditionally,&nbsp;&nbsp; 12 to 14 months after the previous all-time&nbsp; high, we see the bottom of the bear market. So,&nbsp;&nbsp;
I am preparing accordingly to start putting&nbsp; in tons of buys throughout the next couple of&nbsp;&nbsp; months leading into October. And before we really&nbsp; get into the ultimate thesis behind this video,&nbsp;&nbsp;
which is AI altcoins, I do want to shout out&nbsp; the In The Money group. First and foremost,&nbsp;&nbsp; we did just launch this about a week and a&nbsp; half ago. And right now we are absolutely&nbsp;&nbsp; crushing it. You can get three days free if&nbsp; you just hit the $49 list right here. Ignore&nbsp;&nbsp;
everything else. We are just going to keep the&nbsp; price at $49 right now because we just think&nbsp;&nbsp; it is the best value per alpha that you can get&nbsp; across the space. But we literally have members&nbsp;&nbsp; in the last two days already up 26% from their&nbsp; initial deposits across prediction markets. We&nbsp;&nbsp;
have our memecoin caller going absolutely crazy&nbsp; in the group as well. So guys, inthemoney.live&nbsp;&nbsp; down below. Three days for free. We will not&nbsp; charge you a penny. If you dislike it, if you&nbsp;&nbsp; do not think you can make money with us, you can&nbsp; cancel before the three-day trial ends. No hard&nbsp;&nbsp;
feelings, but at least give it a shot down below&nbsp; at inthemoney.live. We are absolutely crushing&nbsp;&nbsp; it so far in the group. And then if you want to&nbsp; ride with us long-term, it is just $49 a month.
All right, guys. Let us just jump into&nbsp; the markets right now. So, like I said,&nbsp;&nbsp; top altcoins are getting hit. I mean, Hyperliquid,&nbsp; when it was at $76, I probably would have told you&nbsp;&nbsp; I would be shocked to see it in the low $50s.&nbsp; But then we saw that big unstaking last week we&nbsp;&nbsp;
talked about from Multi-Chain Capital. And this&nbsp; thing is down 9%. But one sector that is just&nbsp;&nbsp; getting absolutely crushed right now is AI. And&nbsp; I did just want to talk about that in this video&nbsp;&nbsp; because I still believe in my ultimate thesis that&nbsp; AI altcoins will lead the charge this next cycle.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Now, I understand I think Hyperliquid,&nbsp; Zcash, those are two of the highest volume,&nbsp;&nbsp; highest volatility to the upside that we are going&nbsp; to see this cycle, and those are firmly a part of&nbsp;&nbsp; my portfolio right now. I think that those are&nbsp; must-hold altcoins, but they are not in the AI&nbsp;&nbsp;
sector. I do still ultimately believe that AI&nbsp; is the one sector that everyone needs to have a&nbsp;&nbsp; piece of because like we saw with SpaceX, we saw a&nbsp; lot of stocks kind of rip into the SpaceX launch.&nbsp;&nbsp;
I think that when Anthropic goes live here into&nbsp; the stock market or if OpenAI has their IPO,&nbsp;&nbsp; we are going to see a massive, massive&nbsp; influx of capital and attention into the&nbsp;&nbsp;
AI sector leading up to that. Like in the&nbsp; months or the weeks leading up to that,&nbsp;&nbsp; you want to be positioned in crypto AI because&nbsp; if AI is the main narrative in the stock market,&nbsp;&nbsp; people are going to be absolutely running&nbsp; to the hills to be able to buy any of the&nbsp;&nbsp;
top AI altcoins in the crypto market just&nbsp; off the basis that crypto moves very fast. So for me, when you look at these types of dips,&nbsp; look at this yearly chart on Near Protocol. You&nbsp;&nbsp; know, it is not too volatile actually. It has&nbsp; actually been one of the more stable AI coins&nbsp;&nbsp;
from price action throughout this year. But we&nbsp; see about a high here of $3.18 back in September.&nbsp;&nbsp; It put in a low here of about 96 cents, rips&nbsp; back up to $2.81, and now we are at $1.60.&nbsp;&nbsp;
And if you look at the actual data behind Near&nbsp; Protocol, they have now settled $24 billion in&nbsp;&nbsp; cross-chain swaps. And most of these are privacy.&nbsp; So you can see here like agent-executed payments,&nbsp;&nbsp;
the share of commerce mediated by AI agents&nbsp; is estimated at $190 to $500 billion by 2030,&nbsp;&nbsp; and they are one of the projects in crypto that&nbsp; are leading the charge on this narrative. So&nbsp;&nbsp;
absolutely bullish on Near Protocol. Their&nbsp; metrics speak for themselves. They power the&nbsp;&nbsp; privacy layer on stuff like Venice and&nbsp; other privacy altcoins like Zcash. So,&nbsp;&nbsp; that absolutely is at the top of my list right&nbsp; now at $1.60. I even think right now is a great&nbsp;&nbsp;
buy. And if we actually do see a little bit&nbsp; of a slide in the market before October,&nbsp;&nbsp; you can maybe even get a little bit&nbsp; of a lower buy price on Near Protocol. Another one that I think is about to, you&nbsp; know, if the market bottoms out coming up,&nbsp;&nbsp;
I think that TAO is destined to rip. We are&nbsp; seeing more activity come to TAO socially as we&nbsp;&nbsp; see here. Jensen Huang says, "Imagine a universal&nbsp; currency called intelligence. NVIDIA is building&nbsp;&nbsp;
the infrastructure. TAO is building the market&nbsp; for intelligence itself." I have said this for&nbsp;&nbsp; quite some time. This is exactly what Bittensor&nbsp; is. It is the network of intelligence. All these&nbsp;&nbsp; different AI subnets, 128 subnets building on the&nbsp; intelligence network that is Bittensor TAO. So we&nbsp;&nbsp;
literally have the CEO of the biggest company in&nbsp; the world, the biggest AI company in the world,&nbsp;&nbsp; saying exactly what TAO is building is actually&nbsp; extremely bullish. And then we have Jason saying,&nbsp;&nbsp; "If anything, just buy a singular TAO at&nbsp; $190 and see what happens. It is $190 risk,&nbsp;&nbsp;
but I do think that this is going to have a firm&nbsp; piece of the future of decentralized AI." And the&nbsp;&nbsp; FUD is way behind, you know, the stuff that&nbsp; happened a few months ago that is now very&nbsp;&nbsp; much buried. And we have promising new companies.&nbsp; You know, Subnet 53, NG went live recently. This&nbsp;&nbsp;
thing has done a freaking like 150-170% gain&nbsp; just over the course of a couple of days. So,&nbsp;&nbsp; there are new subnets still coming in,&nbsp; taking these subnet spots. Great updates,&nbsp;&nbsp;
great updates, pardon me, going on on the&nbsp; Bittensor network. And ultimately speaking,&nbsp;&nbsp; I think that, you know, Near Protocol,&nbsp; TAO, those are must-holds in the AI sector. And I still very much believe in Venice in the&nbsp; short term. Let us bring up Venice's chart.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Venice is actually also holding up decently for&nbsp; the market that we are in right now and kind of&nbsp;&nbsp; seeing some of these other coins falter. I do&nbsp; not know. It definitely feels like Venice has a&nbsp;&nbsp;
little bit of a liquidity wall around these $1.12&nbsp; ranges. I think that in the short term, despite&nbsp;&nbsp; their $65 million Series A equity raise and the&nbsp; FUD that that created, I would not be surprised&nbsp;&nbsp;
that on the next leg up in the market or when AI&nbsp; coins heat up again that we see this thing surpass&nbsp;&nbsp; all-time highs at this $20 level once again. So,&nbsp; short-term, I have had a lot of questions in the&nbsp;&nbsp;
comments down below. You know, am I still bullish&nbsp; on Venice? Do I still think it can perform? I do.&nbsp;&nbsp; I think in the right market, AI gets hot again&nbsp; like we saw a few months ago when TAO was at,&nbsp;&nbsp;
what did TAO hit? So we had Venice hit $20. TAO&nbsp; got all the way up to, at this point in time,&nbsp;&nbsp; back to $346, and this bounced from $140. So a&nbsp; nice like 150% gain on that one as well. Look,&nbsp;&nbsp;
I think that AI will have its day once again.&nbsp; And a lot of these charts are just seemingly,&nbsp;&nbsp; in my opinion, building some sort&nbsp; of a liquidity wall at these lows. I think that right now I would be absolutely&nbsp; willing to DCA $1.60 on Near Protocol. I think&nbsp;&nbsp;
if Bittensor slides a little lower into the $180s,&nbsp; $170s, I think definitely make a buy there because&nbsp;&nbsp; we saw $145 was the yearly low. I do not know.&nbsp; I do not know that we get that low with a little&nbsp;&nbsp;
bit of momentum heating up, you know, socially&nbsp; people kind of getting back on the bandwagon here&nbsp;&nbsp; for Bittensor TAO. But ultimately speaking,&nbsp; I think that AI is a must-hold narrative if&nbsp;&nbsp; you are investing in crypto in 2026. I have said&nbsp; this a whole lot throughout this year, but look,&nbsp;&nbsp;
right now it seems like the time to dial in, find&nbsp; your levels that you are comfortable buying at&nbsp;&nbsp; this point in time, and let it run because when&nbsp; Anthropic hits the stock market, if OpenAI hits&nbsp;&nbsp; the stock market, if AI has another huge run, more&nbsp; big AI models come out and are integrated into&nbsp;&nbsp;
these protocols. Like we see here with Venice,&nbsp; Venice's bullish update this week was that Kimmy&nbsp;&nbsp; K3 by Kimmy Moonshot is now available privately&nbsp; on Venice. So frontier-level capabilities without&nbsp;&nbsp;
the surveillance. So awesome stuff going on in&nbsp; the decentralized AI realm, and I want to have&nbsp;&nbsp; a firm piece of that in my portfolio. So guys,&nbsp; that is today's video. I just wanted to go over,&nbsp;&nbsp;
I think AI alts are forming close to a bottom.&nbsp; Yes, if Bitcoin slides, you are going to see&nbsp;&nbsp; these go a little lower, but comfortably I would&nbsp; be willing to make purchases, I think, across&nbsp;&nbsp; all three of these coins today. And especially if&nbsp; they slide a little bit lower, I will be pulling&nbsp;&nbsp;
the trigger and adding to my bag. So guys, like&nbsp; the video down below and subscribe to the channel&nbsp;&nbsp; for more. And as I mentioned, give In The Money&nbsp; a shot.
