The intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and cryptocurrency is opening up investment opportunities for those willing to engage with both sectors.
However, like any emerging area, the large number of AI-themed digital assets makes it hard to pinpoint the most appealing options.
To help with this, Finbold consulted OpenAI’s ChatGPT for its top two AI-related crypto suggestions for July 2025.
Render (RNDR)
ChatGPT identified Render as a standout because it provided decentralized GPU power, an increasingly important resource in the AI era.
Render supports demanding tasks by enabling distributed rendering for AI model training, 3D graphics, and metaverse content.
As AI models become more complex, ChatGPT noted that Render’s decentralized approach allows developers to access a global network of GPUs. This offers both efficiency and cost savings compared to traditional providers.
The project is also backed by cloud graphics leader OTOY and has connections to Apple’s ecosystem. These affiliations enhance both credibility and long-term market potential.
At the time of writing, Render was trading at $3.14, down over 1% for the day and more than 21% for the week.
Akash Network (AKT)
ChatGPT’s second choice, Akash Network (AKT), is progressing with its decentralized cloud infrastructure designed for AI workloads. As cloud computing costs rise, Akash provides a lower-cost, decentralized choice compared to centralized providers like Google Cloud.
Akash offers GPU and CPU resources while keeping compatibility with tools like CUDA, making it appealing to AI developers who prioritize cost efficiency and decentralization.
Despite continued capital outflows reflecting broader market trends, AKT was trading at $1.12, rising about 1% in the past day but down nearly 20% over the past week.
However, ChatGPT noted that Akash faces challenges, particularly from established enterprise providers. Competing with established infrastructure in enterprise markets remains a significant hurdle.
