Three blockchain-based artificial intelligence (AI) firms — SingularityNET (CRYPTO: AGIX), Fetch.ai (CRYPTO: FET), and Ocean Protocol (CRYPTO: OCEAN) — are in talks to merge their crypto tokens into a single entity called ASI.
What Happened: This token would have a combined value of roughly $7.5 billion, Bloomberg reported, citing unnamed sources.
The proposed merger wouldn’t result in a single company. Each platform, SingularityNET, Fetch.ai, and Ocean Protocol, would continue to operate independently.
Instead, the trio will collaborate as part of a so-called “Superintelligence Collective.”
By leveraging blockchain technology, they hope to create an AI ecosystem that isn’t dominated by large corporations but functions in a more distributed and community-driven manner.

Ben Goertzel, founder and CEO of SingularityNET, will oversee the collective.
Fetch.ai CEO Humayun Sheikh, an early investor in Google’s DeepMind AI unit, is also expected to play a key role as chairman.
The Benzinga Future of Digital Assets event, taking place on Nov. 19, promises to be a valuable platform for these discussions to continue.
