Venice AI, a protocol focused on decentralized artificial intelligence, has been absolutely crushing it in the altcoin market over the past week. Created by Erik Voorhees, the mastermind behind ShapeShift, this project is showing some serious gains.
VVV Token’s Explosive Growth
The VVV token, powering Venice AI, is up a massive 135% in the last seven days and has seen a 14% surge today alone. It’s currently trading around $4.28, giving it a fully diluted valuation (FDV) of $336 million. This represents a staggering 375% jump from its low point back in November, where it was sitting at just $0.9. The protocol uses a neat dual-token system, similar to the DIEM token launch a few months back. DIEM holders get VIP access to Venice AI models, which is a pretty sweet deal. DIEM itself hit an all-time high of $672 over the weekend and is now trading around $586, meaning it’s up 200% since its launch. VVV initially launched in January 2025 during a frenzy for AI agent tokens, peaking at $9 within its first week. However, like many low-cap altcoins and AI projects, it experienced a significant pullback following the LIBRA token scam in February. A year later, VVV is back, trading at its highest point since August 2025, and the protocol’s on-chain metrics are looking stronger than ever. Erik Voorhees himself shared on X that Venice is now processing over 45 billion large language model (LLM) tokens daily – double the amount from just a few weeks ago on February 4th.
