Grayscale Investments has published a report highlighting the potential of three crypto projects in the AI infrastructure space: DATA Network (DATA), USD.AI (CHIP), and 
Pearl (PEARL). The report, authored by Grayscale's Head of Research Zach Pandl, emphasizes the growing importance of AI-related use cases in the blockchain ecosystem.
According to the report, these projects are uniquely positioned to leverage blockchain technology for AI data processing, storage, and monetization. The report's release comes as the PEARL token has seen a significant price increase, rising 580% over the past month, as per CoinGecko data.
As of October 22, 2026, the USDAI token has a circulating supply of $260.03 million, according to DeFiLlama. This figure provides additional context for the market's interest in AI-focused crypto projects.
The broader crypto market remains relatively flat, with a total market cap of $2.78 trillion. 
Bitcoin is down 0.43% in the past 24 hours, and the overall market sentiment is neutral, with a Fear & Greed index of 51.
The report's focus on AI infrastructure highlights a potential growth area for blockchain technology. As AI continues to evolve, the demand for decentralized solutions for data processing and storage is likely to increase, potentially driving further interest in projects like DATA, USD.AI, and Pearl.

The chart plots PEARL's price: grey is the move before this brief published, the vertical dashed line marks the moment it published, the horizontal dashed line is the price then, and the coloured area is the move since — from Token Times's market data (daily resolution). It shows what happened after the news, not that the news caused it; many factors move prices. Not financial advice.
At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 PEARL ≈ ₹204.79 (about $2.01), down 8.3% over 24 hours. The rupee itself trades about 7.2% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Indian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
