The uptrend occurred in a high-volume environment. CoinGecko’s data shows 24-hour volume is over $128.8 million. It had daily volume of $174 million and $238 million on Thursday and Wednesday, respectively. Before that, Storj’s daily volume was below $30 million, reaching its highest point since February.

This rally occurred as investors returned to cryptocurrency and AI assets in the stock market. Stocks like Nvidia and Palantir have soared, pushing their valuations to over $3.2 trillion and $100 billion, respectively.
AI cryptocurrencies such as AI Companions (AIC), Akash Network (AKT), and Bittensor (TAO) also continued to rise.
Storj is seen as an AI coin due to the services it offers, including storage and GPU rental. The storage solution allows users to share their free storage and earn money when others use it. According to the website, its solution is significantly cheaper than popular cloud computing platforms such as AWS, Azure and Google Cloud.
Storj also owns Valdi, a platform that allows users to rent GPUs such as NVIDIA H100, A100, and GeForce RTX. Users will now be able to rent an 8x NVIDIA H100 SXM5 80GB, which costs over $260,000, for just $2.29 per GPU hour.
