Good morning, Asia. This is what news is doing in the markets:
Welcome to Asia Morning Briefing, a daily summary of the main stories during the US hours and an overview of the movements and market analysis. To obtain a detailed description of the US markets, see Cryptokook from Coindesk America.
The artificial intelligence specialties (AI) are slightly low despite the excessive profits of Microsoft technological giants (MSFT) and goal, which cited their respective efforts of AI as a catalyst to overcome the profits.
Microsoft cloud revenues increased 27% to $ 46.7 billion, with Azure that crosses $ 75 billion annually as the demand for workloads of ia pushed the capacity of the data center beyond two gigawatts. Meanwhile, Meta reported an increase in income year after year of 22% to $ 47.5 billion, with an operational margin of 43%, since AI advertisement models generated conversions up to 5% and the commitment to Facebook and Instagram increased.
The Coingcko Token AI category, which includes specialties such as Tao, Near, ICP and Render has dropped 1.4%. In contrast, Coendesk 20, a measure of the performance of the world’s largest digital assets, is flat and is quoted below 4,000.
In general, AI tokens move synchronized with Big Tech profits. The Nvidia record rally in 2024 helped the category to overcome a market capitalization of $ 10 billion, but Bitcoin’s growing domain in the first half of 2025 took some air out of the category, and other types of Altcoins, which led it to less than $ 5 billion.
Merchants from all over the world of cryptographic today also took a break, given the recent message of the Fed, which perhaps explains the silenced reception of Ai Tokens to the success of MSFT and goal.
“While the policy remained unchanged, Powell’s comment that inflation driven by the rate can only begin by adding a layer of uncertainty that pressed risk assets in all areas,” Market manufacturer enfux wrote in a note to COINDESK.
“With the discoloration of the risk appetite and the Macro messaging that become less predictable, the markets can remain in a tenure pattern until the participants obtain clarity about the Directorate of Inflation and the policy response during the next days or weeks,” Enfix continued.
Nvidia will inform your profits at the end of August. Time will say if the expected solid results of the GPU giant will serve as a catalyst for the growth of the AI token.
