Following the hype around AI frameworks, DeFAI (DeFi + AI) has also become one of the popular tracks in crypto AI agents. DeFAI projects are pushing the crypto financial interaction experience of the DeFi ecosystem towards intelligent and automated transformation by enhancing asset management efficiency, capital returns, and operational process optimization, thereby improving the trading convenience and market efficiency for DeFi users.
This article from PANews has compiled 13 popular DeFAI token projects, among which only GRIFFAIN and Hey Anon have market caps over $100 million, while the rest are mostly in the tens of millions. The scarcity of leading projects may indicate that participation in the DeFAI track is still relatively limited. However, the overall performance of DeFAI projects is still worth noting, with 13 projects having an average increase of 445.6% over the past week, among which Hive, HotKeySwap, Bankr, and Hey Anon performed far above the average, demonstrating the capital's attention.
