Following the AI framework hype, DeFAI has also become one of the popular tracks in cryptocurrency AI agents. The DeFAI project is promoting the transformation of the DeFi ecosystem's cryptocurrency financial interaction experience towards intelligence and automation by enhancing asset management efficiency, fund yield, and optimizing operational processes, thus strengthening the trading convenience and market efficiency for DeFi users.

This article by PANews compiles 13 popular DeFAI token projects, among which only GRIFFAIN and Hey Anon have market capitalizations exceeding 100 million, while most others are 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 an average increase of 445.6% over the past week among the 13 projects, where Hive, HotKeySwap, Bankr, and Hey Anon have significantly outperformed the average, showcasing the capital's interest.
