Analysis: The cryptocurrency market's rebound momentum is strengthening, with AI-related coins outperforming Meme coin.

[Analysis: Crypto Market Rebound Momentum Strengthens, AI Concept Tokens Outperform Meme Coin] According to Mars Finance, on January 6th, with Bitcoin remaining above $93,000, crypto market funds are rotating from Meme Coin to tokens with practical applications, with AI concept tokens performing the best. Data shows that in the past 24 hours, multiple functional indices on CoinDesk—including the DeFi, Metaverse, and Non-Bitcoin Composite Indices—have all risen by more than 4%, while the Meme Coin index has remained largely flat or even slightly declined, indicating that market risk appetite is returning to "fundamentally sound sectors." The decentralized GPU computing platform Render Network (RENDER) rose by approximately 20% in 24 hours, becoming the best-performing token among the top 100 crypto assets by market capitalization; smaller AI tokens such as Virtuals Protocol also recorded gains of over 6%. Sui (SUI) rose by over 15%, while XRP climbed by about 10%, reaching a near two-month high; in contrast, Solana (SOL) remains within its multi-month trading range. Analysts point out that this trend aligns with the US stock market's optimism towards AI and high-beta tech stocks. However, geopolitical risks and the upcoming US non-farm payroll data could still influence market sentiment. Furthermore, many analysts believe that further gains in the crypto market still depend on continued inflows into Bitcoin ETFs. Data shows that in the first two trading days of 2026, net inflows into Bitcoin ETFs exceeded $1 billion.
