The Render (RENDER) token experienced a significant price rally in late 2026, driven by demand for AI infrastructure and decentralized physical infrastructure network (DePIN) tokens. By late September, the token had climbed 40.8% to reach $1.95, supported by network upgrades such as the integration of Salad’s decentralized GPU subnet.

By early October, the price continued to rise, reaching approximately $2.17. While on-chain data showed a multi-week accumulation pattern with tokens moving into self-custody, analysts raised concerns regarding market integrity. Specifically, on-chain analysis of the RENDER Ethereum contract identified a wash trading ratio of 90.3%, suggesting that much of the reported trading volume may have been coordinated inflation rather than organic demand.
