ASI: AI-Aligned Crypto Treasury - What You Need to Know
TRNR-FET Deal, ASI Token Merge, & More
The Artificial Superintelligence Alliance (ASI) is a unified network combining Fetch.ai, SingularityNET, and Ocean Protocol into a single AI-token ecosystem, $ASI. The combined ASI ecosystem aims to serve as a modular foundation for decentralized AI, designed to lower the cost and complexity of coordinating model inference, training data access, and autonomous task execution on-chain.
Recently, Interactive Strength Inc. (NASDAQ: TRNR), a connected fitness hardware and services company, announced a capital raise of up to $500 million to build a treasury position in $FET. An initial $55 million has already been committed by ATW Partners and DWF Labs, with remaining tranches expected to scale over time.
In today’s edition, we’ll discuss the TRNR–FET deal, the $ASI token merge, and more…

Introduction
AI x crypto has rapidly emerged as one of the most active narratives in crypto be it genuine infrastructure projects or outright memes. Tokens like $FET (Fetch.ai), $AGIX (SingularityNET), and $OCEAN (Ocean Protocol) has historically focused on a distinct aspect of decentralized AI infrastructure: agent execution, AI service marketplaces, and data tokenization, respectively. However, siloed development, fragmented liquidity, and overlapping visions have limited their broader adoption and institutional accessibility.
The Artificial Superintelligence Alliance was formed to unify these networks under a single governance, capital, and technical structure. Fetch.ai, SingularityNET, and Ocean Protocol are merging their tokens and resources into a single asset, $ASI.
Under the merger plan, AGIX and OCEAN holders are undergoing a 1:1 swap into $FET, which will then be redenominated into $ASI at a 1:1 ratio. This effectively makes $FET the bridge asset for the full migration.
The combined stack covers all foundational components of decentralized AI. Fetch.ai contributes the Agentverse, a framework for autonomous AI agents to interact, transact, and monetize actions across networks. SingularityNET brings its registry and reputation-layer for publishing, accessing, and evaluating AI services. Ocean adds the infrastructure for tokenizing and gating access to datasets, including tooling for compute-to-data models that preserve privacy.
TRNR’s $500M Bet on $FET
Just recently, Interactive Strength Inc. (NASDAQ: TRNR) announced a securities purchase agreement to raise up to $500 million for the acquisition of $FET. The initial $55 million tranche was funded by ATW Partners and DWF Labs, with further allocations expected in stages.
TRNR’s core business spans connected fitness hardware and digital coaching platforms through its CLMBR and FORME product lines.
As part of the deal, TRNR will integrate Fetch.ai’s autonomous agent technology into its software stack allowing its AI models to support adaptive coaching, personalized workouts, and predictive training interventions. This represents a functional alignment between token ownership and product-level adoption, rather than passive treasury management.
Strategic Fit
Strategically, TRNR’s move reshapes ASI’s ownership profile and float concentration. By securing a long-term position in $FET (which will convert 1:1 into $ASI post-merger), it effectively tightens the float by removing a portion of circulating supply from speculative flows (from thematic trades) and introduces a corporate buyer with a much longer timeframe conviction and regulatory oversight.
This move signals that AI-linked crypto assets are transitioning from thematic trades to treasury-grade assets especially when tokens are directly linked to tokens that companies utilize in day-to-day operations. This may also accelerate similar behavior from verticalized companies in industries like healthcare, robotics, and education, where decentralized AI primitives have clear application.
