The Fetch.ai (FET) price is no longer the Fetch.ai price; it is the AI Alliance price.
After the merger of Ocean Protocol (OCEAN) and SingularityNET (AGIX) into Fetch.ai (FET), their collective identity was transformed into ASI.
Whales Welcome Fetch.Ai to ASI Conversion
Fetch.ai was expected to rise in price ahead of July, as the token merger began this week and is scheduled to be completed in mid-July. Artificial Superintelligent Alliance will trade under the ticker FET during the transition. With a current market cap approaching $3 billion, it has become the second-largest asset in the AI token market.

However, the optimism is not limited to whales; it is shared by retail investors as well. The measured sentiment has been largely positive, with Fetch.ai noting mentions on social media platforms.

This consolidation will continue in the coming days until the merger is completed, and the resulting optimism will help FET break out of it.
