The crypto market is holding its ground on Thursday as traders digest the recent decision from the Fed to keep interest rates unchanged. The Fed announced that it would maintain the target range for the federal funds rate at 3.50% to 3.75%. The decision aligned with expectations despite forecasts of a surprise rate hike as inflation concerns mount.

The total market capitalization and trading volume stand at $2.20 trillion and $65 billion, respectively. Bitcoin is holding above the $64K mark, while leading altcoins such as ETH, XRP, and SOL display mixed trends. 

Despite the market displaying a muted structure, several assets have shown robust upward movements. In the section below, we will discuss the top crypto gainers today, such as Pi Network, Injective, and Artificial Superintelligence Alliance.

Top Crypto Gainers Today

1. Pi Network (PI)

Pi Network has emerged as the top crypto gainer today, with a surge of more than 6% over the last 24 hours. This latest bullish momentum comes amidst the losses of 7% and 25% witnessed on the weekly and monthly charts. The price is currently hovering around $0.08390, with a market cap of $920 million.

The Network’s rally has been attributed to the rollout of Protocol 26, its latest Mainnet software update. PI gained as node operators received an August 11 deadline to complete installation. Operators missing the deadline could lose their Mainnet connection, while mobile users need no action on their mobile devices.

Meanwhile, Protocol 26 marks the ninth recent upgrade and prepares Pi Network for Protocol 27. The Core Team hopes to finish the current sequence with Protocol 27. Both updates will focus on enabling new features of the protocol, enhancing performance, and improving Mainnet support.

2. Injective (INJ)

Injective has surged by nearly 6% today, pushing the price to $4.79. The altcoin is up by 7% on the weekly chart despite the 4% decline on the monthly chart. Both the market capitalization and trading volume have surged to $480 million and $75 million, respectively.

Injective price rallied after the recent improvements to the network, better cross-chain support, and increased activity in its ecosystem. Injective successfully finalized the IIP-677 mainnet upgrade, enhancing transfer support, operational reliability, and security. In addition, Kraken added support for direct on-chain USDC deposits and withdrawals into Injective, minimizing the need for external bridges.

Injective also opened its August Community BuyBack after participation slots filled quickly. The program targets over 33,000 INJ for removal through an auction process using network fees. Alongside reduced supply, Injective was chosen by POSCO International and LG CNS for a trade finance pilot.

3. Artificial Superintelligence Alliance (FET)

FET price also joined the list of the top crypto gainers today, with a gain of 5.30% on the daily chart. At the time of this writing, FET was exchanging hands around $0.1400, with a market capitalization of $310 million. Meanwhile, its trading volume has decreased by 30% to $130 million.

FET price surged as a renewed social media frenzy over the artificial superintelligence alliance merger unfolded. The planned mergers with Ocean Protocol and SingularityNET brought back some new interest in a larger decentralized AI network. Interest appears sentiment-led, with market attention centered on consolidation rather than near-term network usage.
