Sahara, a token for the Sahara AI project, recorded a new price record almost a month after it was listed on Binance. Investor interest has led to tokens leading the AI sector to trading volume.
What is this price surge and will it last? This is a deeper view.
Why did the Sahara surge 100% in one day?
Sahara Ai is featured as the first full-stack AI-Native Blockchain platform. This allows anyone to create, contribute and monetize AI developments. The purpose of this project is to make the future of artificial intelligence more accessible, fair and open to everyone.
To achieve this ambition, the Sahara AI is based on three core pillars.
Data Services Platform (DSP) for data labeling and improvement. An AI developer platform for model creation, deployment and tools. A decentralized AI market where users can buy and sell datasets, models, agents and computing resources.
Among these pillars, Sahara AI officially launched its data services platform on July 22, 2025. The platform allows anyone in the world to contribute to AI development through tasks such as labeling data, classifying images, and evaluating AI-generated content.
“DSP represents a fundamental change in how AI development works. Instead of being limited to a small number of choices with the means and know-how, AI development is open to everyone,” says Sahara AI.
A standout feature of DSP is that users receive rewards with Sahara Tokens. On the release date alone, the platform distributed over $450,000 in rewards, attracting a lot of attention from the community.
Within 24 hours of the launch, Sahara’s trading volume exceeded $2.3 billion. Token prices skyrocketed 100%, peaking at $0.165, exceeding the market capitalization of over $300 million.
According to Coinmarketcap, Sahara is leading AI sector tokens in trading volume.
Is bullish momentum sustainable?
The surge in Sahara prices was driven by positive news and was strengthened by investor optimism surrounding the Altcoin season that began in July.
However, the tokens were unable to maintain their peak for a long time. On July 24th, the Sahara fell by more than 30% from its high. This sharp decline reflects the rapid profits of early buyers.
Furthermore, Sahara’s toconomy remains in its early stages. The project’s total supply is 10 billion tokens, but only 2.04 billion (20.4%) is currently in circulation. The remaining 78% is locked and will gradually unlock until 2029.
Cryptorank data shows that over 84 million Sahara tokens are unlocked each month. This accounts for 0.84% of total supply and approximately 4.13% of current market capitalization.
Projects where monthly unlocking is important can face challenges, especially if investors are afraid of dilution. Still, if the Altcoin season continues to bolster and investors recognize the real-world utility of Sahara Token, the project could attract new interest.
