Aethir Breaks Resistance, Signals New Bullish Chapter in DePIN Era

ATH reached a peak above $0.054 earlier on Sept. 8, 2025, before settling at $0.042 at the time of writing, marking a 38% gain in the last 24 hours. The token has exhibited significant price volatility, surging as high as $0.04437 and rebounding from a low of $0.025 in mid-July. ATH has outperformed several other DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Network) tokens, including Bittensor (TAO), Render (RENDER), and Arweave (AR), which have also seen strong weekly gains in the current bull market. The DePIN segment’s overall market capitalization rose 3% to $34.8 billion, while daily trading volume jumped 25% to over $4.2 billion [1].

The price rally coincided with broader cryptocurrency market gains, driven by optimism over the upcoming Federal Reserve meeting, where a potential rate cut has increased market appetite for risk assets. Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) both climbed above $112,000 and $4,330, respectively, reinforcing a bullish trend that has spilled over to smaller-cap and niche crypto assets. Aethir’s price increase also followed a string of strategic developments, including its recent partnership with Credible Finance to launch a DePIN-powered crypto credit card and a collaboration with Arizona State University for AI and game-based learning initiatives [3].

From a technical perspective, Aethir’s price has broken above a key $0.037–$0.040 resistance zone, which had previously acted as a barrier for bullish momentum. The current price level of $0.042 now positions the token above this previous resistance, potentially converting it into a support level for near-term trading activity. Market data indicates that Aethir’s 24-hour trading volume surged over 1,300% to $95.7 million, while its market capitalization rose to $473 million [1]. Open interest data from Coinglass showed a notable increase to $65.29 million, indicating heightened speculative activity.

The recent price surge has also pushed Aethir’s market capitalization to $600 million at one point, a level not seen since early 2025. This marks a significant milestone for the GPU-as-a-service provider, which has been gaining traction with institutional interest and real-world partnerships. The Beam Foundation, for instance, has allocated $17.9 million to Aethir’s treasury, reflecting confidence in its long-term utility and infrastructure potential [2]. Additionally, Aethir reported reaching a key operational milestone of 1.15 billion compute hours, indicating continued growth in demand for its decentralized GPU resources.

Looking ahead, analysts suggest that the current momentum in Aethir’s price could align with broader market expectations for an altcoin rally in the run-up to October’s ETF-related deadlines. The token’s performance in the past 24 hours has outpaced broader cryptocurrency indices and even shown resilience compared to Ethereum-based tokens, which have seen stronger gains. However, with the RSI reaching a 99 level and MACD signals showing overbought conditions, a short-term correction may be expected [3]. Investors will be watching closely for any new developments or partnerships that could drive further momentum in the DePIN space.
