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 rising popularity of AI agents and their increasingly important role in DeFi. An analysis of the mismatch between attention and market cap for AI agents suggests that ‘smart interaction’ may better reflect market potential. The article also introduces new platforms like injective and modenetwork, emphasizing the importance of innovation, market leadership, and cash flow for the success of AI agents.
The following is the original content (edited for readability):
The current cryptocurrency market is experiencing volatility while anticipating Bitcoin to break six figures. During this period, the focus has turned to two important areas: MEME coins and artificial intelligence.
According to data from kaitoai, 48% of attention on crypto Twitter is concentrated in these two fields.
The article explores how these trends shape the cryptocurrency ecosystem, with a focus on the rise of AI agents and their evolving roles in DeFi.

The rise of Web 4.0 and its integration with AI
Last week's discussions on Web 4.0 revealed the intersection of cryptocurrency and artificial intelligence, a topic that continues to garner widespread attention.
binance's latest report emphasizes the vast potential of this emerging market, pointing out that DeFi integration and collaborative communities are key areas for growth.
Although agents have existed across various industries, entering the crypto space has brought about disruptive changes. It has achieved true autonomy for AI agents by removing barriers posed by traditional banking systems.
This seamless integration paves the way for exponential growth, as demonstrated by this continuously updated crypto AI agent and protocol tracker.
Evolution of AI agents
The field of AI agents is rapidly evolving at an unprecedented pace.
New developments, such as the cookiedotfun AI agent index, enable users to track participants in emerging markets.
The integration of decentralized technology has transformed AI agents from simple tools into autonomous entities capable of executing complex financial operations.
Key developments include:
1. Achieving greater autonomy through blockchain integration.
2. Expanding application scenarios in the DeFi ecosystem.
3. Seamless user experience drives accelerated adoption.
Mind Share vs Market Cap: Analysis of AI Agent Performance
Is there a correlation between attention and price movement?
Historically, funding tends to flow to areas of concentrated attention. However, in the realm of AI agents, the relationship between attention and market cap does not seem to fully align.
As of November 24, 2024, the following differences in market cap and attention can be seen:
0xzerebro leads in attention but has only half the market cap of GOAT, despite having 2.8 times the attention.
dolos diary has 60% of GOAT's attention but its market cap is only 20% of GOAT's.
Aixbt agent experienced a rapid market cap surge within 12 hours despite initial lack of attention.
While attention reflects market sentiment, it does not always directly translate into capital inflow. Instead, ‘smart interaction’ (interactions from accounts with financial influence) may more accurately indicate market potential.
Ai16z Case Study: Breaking Traditional Analysis Frameworks
Ai16z's performance surpassed traditional metrics (like net asset value, NAV). Its price trades at multiples far above NAV, attributed to the ‘AI premium’.
This premium reflects the potential value of its large language model (LLM) performing above average in the market.
The introduction of the elizawakesup framework played a key role, as contributions collected through this framework directly added value to Ai16z, causing its price to significantly exceed traditional expectations.
This indicates the importance of the following factors:
Continuous innovation from the development team.
Capturing important attention.
Building mechanisms that can directly accumulate value for tokens.
Key metrics for evaluating AI agents
To discover undervalued AI agents, consider the following points:
Smart interaction: Accounts marked as ‘smart’ may indicate early capital deployment.
Niche dominance: Agents that perform well in specific fields are often valued higher.
Cash flow potential: Agents with actual financial returns are more likely to attract ongoing investment.
For example, AiXBT demonstrated significant value by providing extensive data insights, leading to a 50% increase in its price.
Conversely, personality-driven agents often attract attention but may not necessarily generate corresponding financial impact.
