AI agents in crypto: Highlights

In the segments of cryptocurrencies and blockchain, AI agents are in the spotlight in 2025 since various AI implementations become more and more popular.

Artificial intelligence agents or AI agents represent a class of self-governed software programs that can simulate human activity with predetermined tasks;

In blockchain, AI agents can be integrated with on-chain wallets (public addresses) and perform some tasks in an automated manner;

Namely, AI agents can authorize transactions, execute cross-currency swaps, mint/burn tokens and even manage DAOs;

More sophisticated AI agents can totally automate cryptocurrency trading, portfolio management, liquidity transfers and so on;

In October 2024, Coinbase, a leading U.S. cryptocurrency exchange, made headlines with its own AI agent announcement.

Artificial Superintelligence Alliance (formerly Fetch.ai, FET), Virtuals Protocol (VIRTUAL), SingularityNET (AGIX) are the three largest AI agent cryptocurrencies by market capitalization.

Despite the segment being in its very infancy, the net capitalization of AI agent tokens on CoinGecko targets $13 billion in equivalent. In total, the AI agents market is predicted to reach a $40 billion valuation in five years.
