- DeepSnitch AI’s DSNT presale reportedly pulled in roughly $1.1 million, with the token priced at $0.03401 in the most recent round
- A KuCoin news flash highlighted a “major announcement” slated for this month, as promoters push DSNT in competition with Solana
- Bitcoin hovered near $91,878 as U.S. spot Bitcoin ETFs saw net inflows again on Jan. 12, data revealed
DeepSnitch AI’s DSNT token is reportedly nearing the end of its presale phase, according to a Tuesday report from Tribune India. The presale has raised $1,167,642 so far, with the current token price set at $0.03401. The project aims to launch in about three weeks. 1
Timing is key as crypto markets have been volatile this January, with investors debating if funds are flowing back into regulated products or sticking with riskier bets like early-stage token sales. Bitcoin climbed roughly 1.3% to $91,878, while Solana gained about 1.0%, reaching $141.31.
U.S.-listed spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs), which let investors gain bitcoin exposure without owning the cryptocurrency outright, saw a net inflow of $116.7 million on Jan. 12, data from Farside Investors show. This came after several days of outflows earlier this month. 2
A presale happens before a token hits the exchanges, so investors are essentially wagering on its eventual listing and liquidity. According to the Tribune, DSNT’s presale price surged from an initial $0.01510 to $0.03401. The project touts a suite of crypto market tools—SnitchFeed, SnitchScan, and SnitchGPT—plus staking options that let users lock tokens to earn rewards.
Late Monday, KuCoin dropped a news “flash” spotlighting DeepSnitch AI ahead of a “major announcement” set for later this month. The report pegged DSNT as a contender to outperform Solana amid bullish forecasts. It also noted the project has already raised over $1.1 million, with the presale potentially hitting $2 million before it wraps up. 3
A Blockchain Reporter press release on Monday positioned DSNT as a hedge during market downturns, highlighting that the token’s presale price jump has boosted “early investors” by nearly 120%, with its current price at $0.03401 in “Stage 4.” The release also promoted a contract-scanning feature and noted that over 28 million tokens have been staked. It reiterated plans for a January launch and hinted at potential listings on major exchanges. 4
Crypto sentiment continues to hinge on macroeconomic data and fund flows. Riya Sehgal, research analyst at Delta Exchange, noted that “sustained closes above $92,000 for BTC and $3,100 for ETH could confirm a broader market recovery phase.” On the other hand, WazirX founder Nischal Shetty cautioned that ETF flows remain too weak to trigger a fresh wave of allocations. 5
Joseph Dahrieh, managing principal at Tickmill, described the shift back to positive spot Bitcoin ETF flows as “modest” but suggested it might signal easing institutional selling pressure. Markets are now turning their attention to U.S. inflation data, expected to remain steady at 2.7% year-on-year. 6
Presales, however, are where trouble can strike quickly. Tokens sold ahead of exchange listings often experience wild price swings once trading kicks off. Buyers also take on risks from smart-contract flaws, launch delays, or listings that might never happen. A number of posts promoting DSNT included disclaimers noting that the information was general and not intended as investment advice.
The promotions have relied heavily on comparisons to established assets, particularly Solana, known for its high trading volume and history of volatility. The Tribune report pointed to other large-cap tokens like Chainlink and Arbitrum as alternatives, though these trade openly with transparent pricing.
DSNT’s upcoming catalysts are clear: will the promised “major announcement” actually drop? Will the presale wrap up as planned? And can the project hit a launch and listing timeline near what promoters have set? Meanwhile, bitcoin’s reaction to inflation figures and trends in ETF flows will continue to drive risk appetite throughout the crypto sector.
