Internet Computer’s ICP token rallied for the fourth day, outperforming the broader crypto market amid hype over the announcement of its new AI-driven platform, Caffeine. According to data from crypto.news, Internet Computer ( ICP ) rose 8% to an intraday high of $5.66, pushing its market capitalization above $3 billion. The token is now trading 32% above its year-to-date low. Today’s gains, supported by a notable increase in daily trading volume, came as the broader cryptocurrency market slumped , with total market capitalization falling 2.2% to $3.4 trillion over the past 24 hours. ICP’s recent rally was driven by excitement around Caffeine , an AI-powered development platform from the Dfinity Foundation, which recently opened for alpha access. The Dfinity Foundation supports the development of the Internet Computer Protocol. In the live demonstration at the World Computer Summit in Zurich on June 5, founder Dominic Williams revealed that Caffeine will enable users to create blockchain applications in real time on ICP through natural language conversations, removing the need for traditional programming skills. The platform leverages ICP’s secure smart canister architecture and aims to democratize blockchain development, making it accessible to a global user base via smartphones. As of press time, the alpha version is currently open for waitlist registration, with a public beta launch expected within the next month.
