Recently, BlackRock released a view: Bitcoin and cryptocurrency adoption is faster than the Internet and mobile phones . In the context of the booming cryptocurrency, most retail investors have suffered heavy losses in this cycle, and even many VC institutions have been trapped.
On one hand, BTC is advancing rapidly, while on the other hand, altcoins are falling. Analysts at StarEx Exchange believe that there is a new trend in the past year: in terms of token price discovery, DEX has replaced the venture capital market , and there are still big opportunities in the future, among which AI Agent is a possible one.
In the early days of the cryptocurrency circle, it was mainly known for " cryptocurrency speculation " . It was not until the " Summer of DeFi " in 2020 that the crypto market saw the emergence of real ecological applications. DEX (decentralized exchanges) represented by Uniswap and lending protocols represented by Aave have shown strong development momentum. The trading volume of DEX even reached 20% of CEX (centralized exchanges) , which marked the prosperity and breakthrough of the crypto ecology. However, the ICO boom in 2017 and the outbreak of DeFi and NFT in 2020 made Ethereum glorious, but since then, the crypto market seems to have been lacking the leadership of a new large-scale ecology.
In the past few years, VC coins incubated by institutional investment have frequently sucked blood, and coupled with the Meme coin craze, funds in the crypto market have fallen into a dilemma of circular speculation. However, with the emergence of AI Agent (artificial intelligence agent), analysts at the StarEx exchange believe that a new ecological imagination space is unfolding. AI Agent is expected to become the key to the next round of crypto ecological prosperity and the pioneer of the next round of rebound.
In the past two years, with the advent of ChatGPT and the explosive growth in demand for NVIDIA GPU chips, artificial intelligence has gone from concept to large-scale implementation. AI technology is accelerating the transformation of all walks of life, and AI Agent is an innovative application born in this context. Although there have been attempts to combine blockchain and AI in the cryptocurrency circle , most of the previous projects have only remained at the stage of hype concepts and lacked practical application value. The emergence of AI Agent has brought substantial breakthroughs in this field.
AI Agent is an intelligent entity that can perform tasks, make decisions, interact with other systems and continue to learn. Compared with traditional AI assistants, AI Agent has higher autonomy and intelligence. It can not only handle complex tasks, but also operate independently in the decentralized environment of blockchain to complete value exchange. For example, some AI Agents can independently manage funds, make investment decisions, and even execute smart contracts. This intelligent economy is not limited to simple task execution, but can also build a decentralized, self-learning ecosystem.
According to the prediction of Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, the scale of the AI Agent industry may reach trillions of dollars. Although this field is still in its early stages, it has shown strong potential. Since the first round of concepts have been hyped, the projects that develop the ecosystem are likely to have a second wave of hype. From the perspective of the track, the AI Agent ecosystem is mainly divided into the following directions .
Framework , the infrastructure for building and launching AI Agents , provides developers with convenient tools for building, training, and deploying intelligent agents. Representative projects :
AI16z : Proposed the Eliza framework, using AI algorithms to simulate the decision-making process of well-known investors and optimize investment strategies through DAO member recommendations.
GAME : Promote the deep integration of AI and games and build an intelligent gaming ecosystem.
Swarms : Developers can use this platform to create and manage multiple AI agents, supporting seamless integration with external AI services and APIs .
Launchpad , users can easily create AI Agents and their associated tokens on the Launchpad platform , representing projects :
VIRTUAL : Allows users to create AI agents that interact with the environment , supporting multimodal interactions (such as text, voice, and 3D animation).
AI Meme and Meme coin have always been active tracks in the cryptocurrency circle, and the AI Meme concept has injected new vitality into this field. Representative projects :
Goat , Act , Fartcoin, etc., among which the first two have been listed on mainstream platforms such as Binance.
Applications : AI Agent projects at the application layer cover a wide range, from content creation to smart contract management. However, as they are still in the early stages , some projects are more risky and have a higher risk. You can look for promising tokens on your own.
Analysts at StarEx Exchange recommend focusing on infrastructure projects (framework and Launchpad ), as these areas have strong technical barriers and long-term development potential. As the AI Agent track matures, more innovative projects will emerge, and this track may become the next growth engine of the crypto market.
