AIN Hits New All-Time High After 91% Surge in a Day
Published October 31, 2026, 09:51 AM PKT. Based on CoinGecko market data for Infinity Ground (last updated 04:50 UTC, October 31, 2026), CoinTab's October 29, 2026 report on AIN's weekly rally, Bitrue's AIN price prediction, Bitget's academy explainer on Infinity Ground, Phemex's AIN price prediction, and CoinMarketCap's AI summary of the latest AIN news. CoinGecko is the price source for this article because Binance has no AIN spot pair, so no Binance spot price exists to quote.
Infinity Ground (AIN) set a new all-time high of $0.2814 at 04:42 UTC on October 31, 2026, according to CoinGecko data, and was trading near $0.276 at 04:50 UTC, up about 88% in 24 hours. The token is up 626% over seven days and 1,109% over 30 days on the same data, with a market capitalisation near $51 million, 24-hour trading volume near $45 million, and a market rank near 438. The record breaks the previous peak from September, when AIN reached about $0.205 on September 15 before crashing about 86% the next day, according to Bitrue's account of the token's price history. CoinGecko's trending search ranked AIN first among trending coins on the morning of October 31, ahead of Pudgy Penguins, Pearl and Hyperliquid, which is why this article covers AIN and not the other trending names.
A record high on the last day of October
The new high caps a month of violent swings rather than a single day's move. CoinGecko's data puts AIN's 24-hour low near $0.144, which means the token roughly doubled from its daily low to its record within the same session, on volume of about $45 million that nearly matches its entire market capitalisation. That volume figure matters because it shows the move is not a thin-market print: about $45 million changed hands in 24 hours against a market value of about $51 million, a turnover ratio near 90%. The seven-day gain of 626% and the 30-day gain of 1,109% frame the same point over longer windows, and both sit on top of the October 27 surge that first returned AIN to attention, when Bitget reported a price near $0.159, a 24-hour gain above 228% and trading volume near $159 million. The October 31 high near $0.28 is roughly 75% above that October 27 level, so this is a second leg higher, not a repeat of the same day's news. AIN is the utility token of Infinity Ground, an AI and Web3 infrastructure project that lets users build blockchain applications from plain-language prompts through what it calls an Agentic IDE, according to Bitget and CoinGecko's project description, and the token runs on BNB Chain with a fixed maximum supply of 1 billion AIN.
The buyback behind the rebound
The rally's most cited explanation is the project's own token buyback, and the reporting around it is careful to label it as reported rather than verified. According to CoinTab, the Infinity Ground team blamed the September crash on a third-party error, announced it had secured new funding, published a recovery plan on October 5, 2026, and shared a wallet address where buyback activity could be tracked. On October 13, the team reported that the wallet had purchased about $3 million worth of AIN and said purchases were continuing, CoinTab reported. Bitrue's account adds the same caution in plainer terms: the $3 million buyback is reported, not independently verified, the buyer, schedule and average price are undisclosed, and $3 million equals about 12% of a market capitalisation near $25 million at the time of that report. Phemex's on-chain analysis of the published buyback wallet gives the most concrete figures available: the wallet held about 71.6 million AIN in late October, equal to 7.16% of the fixed 1 billion supply, every one of those tokens arrived on October 12, 2026 in 22 transfers, and a single contract sent 68.64 million of them, or 95.81% of the total. Priced at the October 12 close of $0.04608, that holding was worth about $3.30 million on the day it arrived, according to Phemex, and it equalled 22.46% of the AIN that CoinMarketCap counted as circulating at the time. Phemex also notes that the wallet received no further tokens in the two weeks after October 12, which means the buyback wallet itself does not explain the October 31 leg higher on its own. Separately, the project's official account has announced a future ticker change, saying the current AIN ticker will be replaced as part of a brand evolution, according to CoinMarketCap's summary of the announcement, though no new ticker or date has been given.
The September crash it is climbing out of
The rebound only makes sense against the September collapse. According to Bitrue, AIN broke out of a base near $0.068 on September 13, 2026 and reached about $0.205 by September 15, then fell roughly 86% in one day on September 16, with lows near $0.012 to $0.016. On October 3, the token bounced about 80% to $0.0436, according to CoinMarketCap's summary, but that rebound did not hold and the price slid back toward the $0.03 to $0.04 range, wiping out most of the early-October gains. The October 27 leg then carried it from a session low near $0.0396 to an early high near $0.1437, a rise of about 248%, according to Bitrue, with later snapshots showing $0.15 to $0.16. CoinTab's summary of the week puts the same move at more than 260% over seven days, from around $0.04 to $0.14 to $0.16, with market value rising from $12.9 million on October 21 to $50 million on October 28. One detail from that period still matters for traders: the October 3 bounce happened after Phemex had delisted AIN spot and perpetual markets, with the perpetual delisted in January 2026 and the spot pair in September 2026, according to Phemex, so the token's venues have narrowed even as its price has risen. The October 31 record therefore sits on a thinner exchange footprint than the September peak did, and on a price that has now travelled from about $0.012 in mid-September to $0.2814, a roughly 23-fold recovery from the crash low.
What traders should watch next
Three risks qualify the record, and all three come from the same coverage that reports the rally. The first is concentration. CoinTab reports that the top 10 holders control more than 70% of AIN supply across about 19,090 holders, and CoinMarketCap's summary puts the top 100 wallets at 98.54% of supply, which means a small number of wallets can move the price in either direction and that the free float is far smaller than the 1 billion maximum supply suggests. The second is a supply dispute that changes every valuation figure depending on the source: CoinGecko counts about 185.3 million AIN as circulating, while Bitget and CoinMarketCap count about 319 million, according to Bitrue, so the same price produces a market capitalisation near $51 million on one tracker and far higher on another. The third is the level structure: Bitrue's analysis framed the rally as needing a clean break above $0.1437 and $0.16 and a hold above $0.12 support, and all three of those levels are now below the current price near $0.276, which means the old resistance levels have been cleared and the next test is whether the price holds above the old September peak near $0.205 on any pullback. None of the coverage reviewed identifies a fresh fundamental catalyst for the October 31 leg, such as a product launch or exchange listing, beyond the continuing buyback narrative and the announced ticker change, so the honest description of this move is a momentum extension of the October rebound, not a newly announced development. For readers, the distinction matters: the record high is a verified market fact on CoinGecko's data, while the reason it keeps rising is still an attributed claim, not a confirmed one.

Trump Says US Is Investigating Binance Hack as Calls Grow for CFTC Rules
President Donald Trump said on October 30, 2026 that the United States is examining whether North Korean hackers were behind the estimated $6.3 billion Binance hack, answering 'We don't know. We're looking at that,' while Commodity Futures Trading Commission Chair Michael Selig told CNBC the hack 'proves our exact point' for federal crypto market rules and The Digital Chamber urged Congress the same day to pass legislation giving the CFTC authority over crypto exchanges before the 119th Congress adjourns. No US government attribution has been made yet, and Trump gave no new withdrawal deadline, leaving Binance's Sunday withdrawal target and Monday proof of reserves plan unchanged.
Beam Jumps 40% to Lead a Falling Crypto Market
Beam (BEAM) rose about 40% on October 30, 2026 to about $0.0048, the top gainer among the 200 largest crypto assets on a day Bitcoin fell about 5% and total crypto market capitalisation fell 5.7%, according to CoinGecko data and Dextape's October 30 market report. The gaming-focused token is up about 54% over seven days and about 146% over 30 days, with Korean trading interest led by Upbit, but it still trades about 89% below its March 2024 all-time high after bottoming in June 2026, and no single catalyst for the day's move was identified in coverage reviewed.
Binance Teng Confirms EIP-7702 Role in $6.3B Hack, Targets Sunday Withdrawals and Monday Reserves
Binance co-chief executive Richard Teng said in a video on October 30, 2026 that the attacker in the estimated $6.3 billion hack used Ethereum's EIP-7702 authorization mechanism to obtain on-chain execution approval over a Binance hot wallet, bypassing the exchange's normal approval controls, and that a self-destruct mechanism removed some of the attacker's tools and traces. Teng said Binance aims to resume withdrawals within about 40 hours before a Sunday deadline and publish a full proof of reserves report on Monday, with preliminary data available earlier. Binance has still not established the full attack path, has not said how the attacker obtained the authorization, and has not attributed the attack to any individual or group.
