Last night, during the latest Federal Reserve meeting, it was announced that the benchmark policy interest rate was lowered by 25 basis points, to 4.25% to 4.5%. Although this outcome met market expectations, the hawkish wording in the statement and adjustments to economic forecasts had a noticeable negative impact on market sentiment.
Today's cryptocurrency market opened in a bleak state, with significant price declines across major mainstream coins and altcoins. Bitcoin fell below $100,000 on the morning of the 19th, while Ethereum dropped from $3,906 to a low of $3,543. According to Coinglass data, the total liquidation across the network in the past 24 hours reached $843 million, with $743 million in long positions and $100 million in short positions liquidated.
However, amidst the overall market downturn, AI concept coins represented by ARC and "Fartcoin" concept coins represented by UFD stood out. They not only remained unaffected by the cold market environment but also surged strongly, frequently hitting new highs, becoming the two standout performers of the day.
Despite the cold market sentiment today, influenced by the high trading volumes of tokens like Fat Penguin, UFD, and FARTCOIN, the 24-hour trading volume on the Solana chain saw a significant increase compared to previous days, with the overall market trading volume still maintaining a high level.
AI Concept
ARC
ARC is a platform driven by the Rust framework (known as RIG) for the development of AI agents, serving as a tool for the AI field, suitable for AI applications that require high optimization and performance. In the early hours of the 19th, the ARC project team revealed the following on Twitter Space:
ARC is built using Solana's "native language" Rust to create an open-source AI agent framework, with accessible development language and future close collaboration with Solana.
It has over 1,000 stars on GitHub and is still increasing.
ARC has created an agent launchpad and tied the Arc token to the LP of each agent, facilitating the integration of ARC tokens into the reward mechanism economic model. Therefore, ARC is also referred to as Virtual on Solana.
This indicates that ARC is a technically strong team that continuously innovates and seeks cooperation and development.
In the early hours of the 19th, ARC's market capitalization began to rise and maintained a strong growth momentum. Meanwhile, following the Federal Reserve's announcement of a 25 basis point cut in the benchmark policy interest rate, the hawkish wording and adjustments to economic forecasts negatively impacted market sentiment, leading to significant declines in the prices of Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and altcoins. Despite the overall market downturn, ARC steadily broke through its previous high to reach a market cap of $244.6M, maintaining strong growth momentum and performing exceptionally well.
As a token that has maintained the highest trading volume in the AI Agent field for several consecutive days, backed by strong technology, ARC is viewed positively by many investors for its future development potential and is expected to lead a new generation of AI Agent trends.
