Fact Check

Two independent crypto news outlets (PANews and Odaily) report identical sector figures dated August 4, 2026, both explicitly citing SoSoValue: AI sector leading at +1.31%, Layer1 at +1.21%, and NFT as the sharpest decliner at -9.26%. The exact numerical agreement across both sources and their common attribution to SoSoValue strongly corroborates the claim's key facts. The only limitation is that SoSoValue's own index page is JavaScript-rendered and did not return directly extractable data for independent verification of the underlying source.
