Tampa, FL, March 08, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Alpha Transform Research, a leading blockchain research firm operating as an Alpha Transform Holdings' subsidiary, today announced the release of the first performance metrics from its Alpha Transform Artificial Intelligence Index (AAI), which utilizes the brand new ERC-7621 Standard built by the Alvara Protocol. The index, launched at a base value of 100 on January 1, 2024, undergoes monthly rebalancing to maintain its relevance and accuracy.
AAI aims to be a benchmark for the crypto AI sector. The AAI measures the performance of leading AI tokens based on strict criteria and it features 20-30 tokens selected for their market capitalization, trading volume, and presence on reputable exchanges. For inclusion, tokens must have a $20 million minimum market cap, average daily trading volume over $500,000, and be listed on recognized Tier 1 or Tier 2 exchanges.
By the end of January, AAI had outpaced both equities and the broader crypto market, closing at 112.1, paced by Bittensor’s 76% return, attributed partly to Vitalik Buterin's endorsement. For February, adjustments included new weights and the addition of four tokens, maintaining the index at 30 constituents.
“Much of the attention in early 2024 has gone toward the approval of BTC ETFs and the eventual rise of the BTC price itself to nearly all-time highs, but the AAI shows us that there might be even more reason to be bullish about the performance of key tokens tied to the emergent crypto AI sector” said Alpha Transform Holdings CEO Enzo Villani.
Utilizing the Ethereum blockchain, the Alvara ERC-7621 token standard that guides the AAI transcends the boundaries of both crypto and traditional finance, offering unparalleled flexibility and innovation for fund management. Under ERC-7621, every transaction and fund performance is visible to all, promoting trust, transparency, and merit-based management, allowing for instant diversification through pooling multiple crypto assets, while also reducing volatility.
