Original Title: AI Agents: Does Price Action Follow Attention? Original Author: S4mmyEth, Crypto Kol Original Translation: zhouzhou, BlockBeats
Editor’s Note: This article discusses the increasingly prominent position of AI agents and their growing importance in DeFi. It analyzes the mismatch between attention on AI agents and their market value, suggesting that 'smart interactions' may better reflect market potential. The article also introduces new platforms such as injection and modenetwork, emphasizing the importance of innovation, market leadership, and cash flow for the success of AI agents.
The following is the original content (slightly restructured for readability):
The current cryptocurrency market is experiencing turbulence, awaiting Bitcoin to break six figures. During this period, attention is shifting to two key areas: MEME coins and AI.
According to kaitoai, 48% of attention on crypto Twitter is focused on these two areas.
This article explores how these trends are shaping the cryptocurrency ecosystem, focusing on the rise of AI agents and their evolving role in DeFi.

The Rise of Web 4.0 and AI Integration
Last week's discussions about Web 4.0 revealed the intersection of cryptocurrency and AI, a topic that continues to garner widespread attention.
Binance's latest report highlights the enormous potential of this emerging market and points out that DeFi integration and collaborative communities are key growth areas.
Although agents have long existed across various industries, their entry into the crypto space has brought about disruptive changes. By removing barriers to traditional banking systems, true autonomy for AI agents has been achieved. This seamless integration paves the way for exponential growth, as demonstrated by this continuously updated crypto AI agent and protocol tracker.
The Evolution of AI Agents
The field of AI agents is rapidly advancing at an unprecedented pace.
New developments such as cookiedotfun AI Agent Index allow users to track participants in emerging markets.
The integration of decentralized technology transforms AI agents from simple tools into autonomous entities capable of executing complex financial operations.
Major advancements include:
1. Achieving greater autonomy through blockchain integration.
2. Expansion of use cases within the DeFi ecosystem.
3. Seamless user experience drives accelerated adoption.
Mindshare and Market Capitalization: Performance Analysis of AI Agents
Is mindshare related to price trends?
Historically, capital tends to flow into areas with higher market share. However, in the field of AI agents, the relationship between market share and market capitalization does not seem perfect.
Taking November 24, 2024, as an example, we can see the differences between market capitalization and mindshare:
0xzerebro leads in mindshare, but its market capitalization is only half of GOAT's, despite its mindshare being 2.8 times higher.
dolos diary occupies 60% of GOAT's market share, but its market capitalization is only 20% of GOAT's.
Aixbt agents initially had a low market share, but despite not attracting attention at first, their market capitalization surged rapidly within 12 hours.
Attention reflects market sentiment but does not necessarily translate directly into capital inflow, and 'smart interactions' (interactions with financially influential accounts) may better reflect market potential.
A16z Case Study: Breaking Traditional Analysis Frameworks
A16z's performance has already surpassed the limitations of traditional metrics like net asset value (NAV). Its stock price is far above net asset value, attributed to the 'AI premium.'
This premium reflects the potential value of large language models (LLMs) that are above the market average. The introduction of the elizawakesup framework played a crucial role, with contributions collected through this framework directly adding value to A16z, pushing its price far beyond traditional expectations.
This highlights the importance of the following factors:
The development team is constantly innovating.
Attracting significant attention.
Establish mechanisms that can directly enhance token value.
Key Metrics for Evaluating AI Agents
To discover undervalued AI agents, consider the following points:
Smart interactions: accounts labeled as 'smart' may indicate early capital deployment.
Domain-specific advantages: agents that excel in specific domains typically have higher value.
Cash flow potential: agents with actual financial returns are more likely to attract sustained investment.
For example, AiXBT demonstrated significant value by providing extensive data insights, leading to a 50% price increase.
Conversely, personality-driven agents often attract attention but do not necessarily lead to corresponding financial impacts.
