AI agents with trading capabilities: the next hot trend?

Author: Content Editor
A new subset of tokens called DeFAI, which are AI agents with DeFi capabilities, has emerged in the cryptocurrency market. While the category is still small, it has seen a recent increase in trading volumes and total market capitalization. These AI agents offer personalized portfolio management and automated revenues, making them attractive to investors. However, only around 1% of DeFAI tokens have posted net gains, and the sector remains subdued compared to AI agent platforms. Solana and Base are the preferred chains for these tokens due to their lower fees. Currently, there is no standard for how AI agents can interact safely without human oversight. Projects like GRIFFAIN, Hey Anon (ANON), and ORBIT (GRIFT) are leading in building an abstraction layer for human instructions. Autonomous trading agents are also emerging, aiming to track the market faster than humans and implement trading strategies. Although the DeFAI category is expected to gain more influence and reach a higher valuation in the coming months, it remains highly volatile. Certain tokens like GRIFFAIN, ANON, NEUR, and QUAIN have seen rallies, attracting early investments. Projects like Griffain and ANON offer various DeFi actions, such as swaps, borrowing, staking, and participating as liquidity providers. AI agents also have the ability to analyze the NFT market and engage in social media trends. However, the rise of AI agents may contribute to bot-driven traffic on multiple chains, raising technical and regulatory concerns.
