AI agents specializing in cryptocurrencies could potentially become a significant trend this year, however, they are still considered quite speculative, as suggested by the Swiss-based crypto bank, Sygnum Bank.
The interest in cryptocurrency projects that involve artificial intelligence has significantly increased, as evidenced by the rise of AI-based crypto agents, according to researchers from Sygnum in their latest quarterly investment overview.
Nevertheless, despite making significant strides, AI agents have found it challenging to demonstrate real-world value beyond theoretical discussions, according to the researchers.
AI agents have been making impressive progress, but they haven’t yet shown that they can deliver tangible benefits beyond what has only been proposed, as suggested by the researchers.
Although the field of AI agents is largely theoretical at this point, projects focused on AI infrastructure like Bittensor (TAO), Artificial Superintelligence Alliance (FET), and Phala Network are tackling the real-world issues by aiming to combine AI services and their data demands with decentralized applications.
Additionally, AI researchers and AI-powered cryptocurrency market analysis tools like Aixbt are increasingly becoming popular, according to the statement.
Synonymously, Sygnum stated that the tokens associated with prominent AI agent-development frameworks, like Virtuals and ai16z, “could potentially gain further advantage as the possibilities of AI agents generating value are more extensively investigated.
Furthermore, the AI agents specialized segment experienced an increase more than twice its previous value during the last quarter, reaching a market capitalization of $10 billion. According to CoinGecko, this sector’s market cap surpassed $15 billion in Q4, 2024.
An agentic AI system streamlines procedures and judgment calls by allowing artificial agents to comprehend intricate objectives, perform multiple-stage problem-solving, and act independently with only limited human oversight.
Sygnum isn’t the only company with a forward-looking take on agentic AI in recent months.
Experts from Franklin Templeton believe AI agents could significantly transform social media platforms. OpenAI’s Sam Altman foresees that these AI agents might enter the workforce as early as 2025. Google has expressed excitement about entering a new era where AI agents are more autonomous, and Mark Zuckerberg of Meta predicts that AI assistants will reach over a billion users this year.
In simple terms, Alvin Kan, COO of Bitget Wallet, shared with CryptoMoon that AI projects and related tokens are expected to see significant expansion in the year 2025.
In my analysis from December, I noted that evolving trends such as AI for investment decisions, autonomous AI entities, and digital asset tokens suggest a technological transition is underway. However, this transformation comes with an increased level of risk.
Nevertheless, while there’s increasing enthusiasm for decentralized AI, Sygnum researchers issued a word of caution. They pointed out that the rise of cost-effective and powerful Chinese AI has been linked to a decline in cryptographic AI projects due to market adjustments.
The debut of DeepSeek’s newest AI model in January caused tremors among US AI stocks and AI-related cryptocurrency initiatives, but it seems that the AI-based cryptocurrencies are spearheading the current crypto market rebound.
