Fetch.ai (FET) ignores the Bitcoin-led market meltdown by notching a 60% gain

The real-world adoption of blockchain technology is a slowly developing process that requires the right use cases and a willing public who are open to new experiences to be obtained when one ventures outside of their comfort zone. 

An increasing number of real-world applications appear to be the motivating factor behind the recent gains seen in Fetch.ai (FET), a protocol focused on building an open access, tokenized-based decentralized machine learning network that aims to support the smart infrastructure being built around the digital economy.

Data from Cointelegraph Markets Pro and TradingView shows that after hitting a low of $0.658 on Sep. 6, the price of FET spiked 70% to a new record high at $1.12 on Sep. 7 as its 24-hour trading volume surged 538% to $590 million.

The rapid increase in price and trading volume comes as the project tests a new multi-modal transport application called Deep Parking, an application built with AI and blockchain technology that helps automobile drivers locate empty parking spaces.

The protocol has also achieved a “global first” on Sep. 7 when an on-board Fetch AI agent successfully interacted with Datarella’s self-sovereign identity to allow the driver to rent a scooter from TEIR mobility.
