In the meantime, FET and OCEAN trading will continue working on Coinbase until further notice. Users that wish to manually migrate their holdings into FET can use a workaround, as shared by Coinbase:“Once the migration has launched, users will be able to migrate their OCEAN and FET to ASI using a self-custodial wallet, such as Coinbase Wallet. The ASI token merger will be compatible with all major software wallets.”Workaround for ASI migration
Crypto exchanges and data aggregators willing to support the migration can do so through a newly launched migration platform, SingularityDAO.The user interface of the SingularityDAO migration platform. Source: SingularityDAO

On June 20, the trading value of FET and AGIX tokens surged more than 30% following a three-month downtrend.
According to Vlad Balaban, co-founder of GT Protocol — a blockchain-based AI execution protocol — the hype around the ASI token merger catalyzed the markets.
“The surge of over 30% is attributed to their announced merger with Ocean Protocol, aimed at forming the largest decentralized AI ecosystem. This strategic move has ignited investor enthusiasm, anticipating significant advancements and market leadership in AI technology,” he said.
