Summary

Fetch.ai is a UK-founded, Cambridge-based blockchain-and-AI project launched in 2017 that raised funds via a Binance IEO of its FET token in March 2019. In 2024 Fetch.ai merged its token economics with SingularityNET and Ocean Protocol to form the Artificial Superintelligence Alliance (ASI), with FET as the combined network token. The alliance fractured in October 2025 when Ocean Protocol withdrew, followed by mutual allegations of token mismanagement, a class-action lawsuit, and formal arbitration; the FET token has also fallen roughly 90%+ from its March 2024 all-time high. Fetch.ai is a long-running, exchange-listed project with a real product history, not an identified scam, but it carries active legal/governance overhang and a recent security incident (covered separately) that warrant caution for leveraged trading.
