Venice Token, Near Protocol, Worldcoin Tokens Jump as AI Tailwinds Rise - iShares Short Duration Bond Act

AI-linked cryptocurrencies Venice Token (VVV), Near Protocol (NEAR), and Worldcoin (WLD) have surged, with VVV up 75% since July and NEAR up 50% from June lows. The gains are driven by positive AI sector catalysts, including the anticipated Anthropic IPO, which could value the company at over $2 trillion. Other AI tokens and companies like Nvidia (NVDA), Alphabet (GOOG), and Microsoft (MSFT) are also benefiting from strong AI industry tailwinds and robust corporate earnings growth.
