According to CoinMarketCap, Audius' one-day volume has soared by about 462 per cent in the last 24 hours and its price has surged by 24 per cent to US$ 2.97 per token. On that note, let's further explore the cryptocurrency.

Audius crypto price prediction
According to CoinGecko, the Audius crypto has surged by 3.8 per cent since the past month at the time of writing. The massive surge only came after the recent round of funding; hence it is expected to continue the present momentum for the remainder of this year. However, chances of a massive surge are highly unlikely as it would depend on a major development like this.
