At the beginning of the new year, the AI ​​Agent track continues to surge. In less than 3 months, this emerging track has risen strongly with hundreds of times of growth, becoming a dark horse in the crypto market in 2025. Behind this round of rise, technology and market demand form a positive interaction, which not only promotes the track from short-term speculation to long-term development, but also brings a new narrative to the encryption industry.

1. AI Agent: A popular research direction in the AI ​​world

The term AI agents comes from OpenAI’s roadmap. Sam Altman divides the capabilities that AI should have into 5 parts: dialogue (such as ChatGPT, the ability to Conversation and chat); Reasoning (logical reasoning like humans); Agent (autonomous learning, decision-making and performing tasks); Innovation (making creative technological breakthroughs); Organization (the final form, capable of managing and running human organizations).

Currently we are in the third step of the AI ​​agent stage, not only in the field of Crypto, this is also the hottest research direction in the entire AI industry. Tech giants such as Microsoft, Google, Amazon and Twitter are getting involved. Sam Altman has mentioned on many public occasions that Agent is one of the most critical directions for the future development of AI. AI Agent will change the way humans interact with technology.

The current AI agent is still in its early stages. It is only the most basic simple reflective agent, and there is still a big gap between achieving the goal of autonomous planning and executing complex tasks. However, this also indicates that the hype cycle in this field will continue for several years, and any technological advancement will set off huge waves in the market.

2. Crypto+Agent is a feasible route

When OpenAI just released ChatGPT, protocols in the encryption industry still followed the inertial thinking and quickly poured into the infrastructure. A large number of computing power platforms have emerged, and a number of AI + DePIN infrastructures have emerged. Their grand visions are more for the B-side, with minimal user participation. In terms of implementation and user needs, it seems like a castle in the air. After years of exploration, everyone found that this approach was unworkable.

When AI develops from competing for computing power to the agent stage, under the impact of the Memecoin craze, combined with the Memecoin startup project, the product can be launched in a very short period of time, becoming a new feasible route. For example, AIXBT is providing market analysis services to more than 100,000 users; Luna, an AI live broadcast celebrity on TikTok, can provide brand marketing services; investment agent Ai16Z obtains market information on and off the chain and automatically tokenizes Transactions etc.

The AI ​​Agent with a series of functions allows users to directly obtain the user experience. In the process, the agent can also use Memecoin A roadmap to grow the community and achieve rapid iteration of the product, and this iteration is low-cost and fast. When market education and dissemination are fully carried out, and then on this basis, bricks and mortar are added to build the infrastructure of the grand vision, community culture and fundamentals will no longer be a contradiction, and Crypto+Agent becomes a feasible route.

3. Development stage of AI Agent in the encryption market

The development of AI Agent in the encryption market has gone through the process from AI meme to single AI application to AI Agent Launchpad. It is currently in the process of AI Agent framework standards. In the process of evolution.

In the AI ​​meme stage, Agent is mainly used to issue assets. It is a pure meme, driven by market hot spots and community sentiment. With the evolution of technology, stand-alone AI applications have begun to appear, with certain practical functions, such as social media posting, investment analysis, fund management, etc. These applications meet the needs of currency circle users and have been hyped by the market. After the wealth effect appears, Coin-issuing platforms began to emerge, and individual AI applications gradually expanded to more value scenarios.

After more and more different types of Agents appeared, the market began to explore collaboration between different projects, various Agent frameworks and standards emerged, and began to build their own ecosystems. This kind of underlying infrastructure can help developers deploy various smarter Agent applications easily and more conveniently, and promote a large number of social and economic activities between Agents, which may give rise to new Agent identities, Agent asset accounts, Agent Social network, Agent settlement gateway, Agent governance DAO and other needs. With the support of AI Agent, we will start from the interaction between people and Agents and move towards the interaction between Agents. By then, groups of autonomous Agents will interact and trade on the chain and be responsible for their own economic conditions. At this stage, cryptocurrency will completely unleash its potential and value in borderless collaboration, trustless networks, and 24/7 non-stop operation.

Since frameworks and standards are backed by complex technical logic, they have a lot of room for imagination, but they are still in the stage of great chaos. Of course, its development also relies heavily on the iterative development of AI technologies such as large models from major Internet companies.

4. AI will be the biggest trend in the crypto market this year

Investment in the crypto market has always been driven by imagination, and this is true for all assets that have been highly hyped in the past. For example, early DeFi used the traditional financial revolution as its narrative, while the concepts of NFT and the Metaverse painted a picture of a future where everyone lives in a virtual world. These stories are highly imaginative. The grander the narrative, the more novel the concept, and the more funds are chasing it, the higher the market’s valuation ceiling will be. Even if some products are not qualified according to traditional Internet standards, as long as they propose new ways of playing and new hopes, they can achieve astonishing market value during the bull market.

Today, DeFi has not successfully attracted traditional financial assets to be traded on the chain, and the concept of the Metaverse has not been successfully implemented by giants such as Facebook. Currently, in the currency circle, AI is undoubtedly the most imaginative subject, and it is difficult for other concepts to match it.

In addition, in actual implementation, unlike the Metaverse NFT, AI has actual value. Some current AI agent projects have already generated revenue, such as Virtuals; some, like Luna, have more than 500,000 fans and have considerable traffic. Some AI agents are even better than many human workers as information aggregators. This is not an empty slogan, but something that can actually be seen. It is not a pseudo-demand with no practical value, but something that can bring changes to the encryption market. Although the overall function is still relatively low-level, AI is the future of global technology, and technology iterations are extremely fast due to heavy investment. The encryption market can often become the number one user of AI technology overflow from major Internet companies and technology giants. Every new technology and new technology Every concept contains new opportunities.

Therefore, AI is not only full of imagination in the currency circle, but also can be implemented on the ground. Once a completed project appears, it will often trigger enthusiastic market speculation and drive the rise of many related sectors. The wealth effect forms a strong attraction, and more people participate to further drive more applications to be implemented. Based on these unique advantages and potential, AI may be the biggest story theme in the encryption industry in 2025, and others are not on the same level compared to it.

5. AI Agent Q1 may usher in a new round of outbreak

In the 2025 encryption industry trend outlook recently released by many institutions, they all expressed their optimism about the development of encryption and A | markets, and specifically pointed out that AI Agent Related products will usher in explosive growth in 2025.

The "microclimate" in the field of encrypted AI relies on the "big environment" of the external AI industry. At present, the external AI field continues to heat up. On December 23, Musk’s AI company xAI announced the completion of a $6 billion Series C round of financing, with its valuation soaring to $40 billion, once again demonstrating the appeal of AI narratives and its strong ability to attract money.

At the narrative level, looking back on the past, the explosion of the encrypted AI sector is inseparable from the strong stimulation of AI events by external technology giants. In February last year, OpenAl released the large model Sora, which set off a disruptive change in the field of AI and greatly promoted the soaring price of Worldcoin. It increased by as much as 5 times in less than a month, and FDV exceeded 110 billion US dollars, which in turn drove This has led to the strong growth of the entire crypto AI asset sector. Immediately afterwards, NVIDIA released a blockbuster AI chip at its annual GTC conference in March, triggering a wave of hype for GPU chips. The price of corresponding concept projects in the encryption market soared, and many new projects emerged.

Currently, OpenAI is in the critical stage of transforming into a general artificial intelligence agent, and plans to launch a new AI agent product - "Operator" in January 2025. It is reported that the product can automatically perform tasks such as writing code, travel reservations, and e-commerce shopping. A series of complex operations. It is expected that this product will once again ignite the enthusiasm of the AI ​​market just like Sora in early 2024. In addition, Nvidia’s annual AI Summit will also be held in March. It is expected that a number of blockbuster new products will be released at the conference, bringing new focus to the encryption and AI markets and triggering a new round of hype for related concept projects. upsurge.

The rapid iteration of external AI technology and the continued maturity of the encryption market have jointly promoted AI Agent to become the most potential subject in the encryption industry. Driven by the dual drive of narrative appeal and practical value, AI Agent has transformed from a product of short-term speculation into the core force of a diversified ecosystem. It stands at the forefront of the industry. With the development of more and more tracks such as DeFi and GameFi, Access will not only unleash potential in a broader scenario, but also inject new growth momentum into the entire industry.
