According to a recent survey conducted by CoinGecko on April 23, nearly half of the participants (47% to 49%) believe that AI agents will outperform humans in crypto trading and investing. However, the remaining half of the participants are still divided on this comparison, as reported by CoinGecko research analyst Yuqian Lim. The most common view is that AI will sometimes outperform humans in both trading and investing. Additionally, around 36% of respondents expressed their willingness to let AI agents manage the majority (60%) of their crypto portfolio, while 15% of crypto investors said they would trust AI with their entire portfolio. This suggests that 1 in 7 participants either completely trust AI agents with all of their crypto, believe the potential profits will outweigh the risks, or have a high risk tolerance for their crypto holdings. When asked about trusting AI with their crypto wallets, opinion was split, with 37% distrusting AI, 34% trusting AI, and 28% remaining neutral. Around 13% said they would not trust AI with any portion of their crypto portfolio. The study, which polled 2,632 crypto market participants between Feb. 20 and March 10, 2025, also found that 13% believed AI agents would only rarely outperform humans in crypto trading, and 9% believed it would never happen. Despite the recent market recovery, AI-based digital assets have outperformed altcoins over the past week, with Near Protocol (NEAR), Bittensor (TAO), Render (RENDER), and Artificial Superintelligence Alliance (FET) all seeing significant gains. However, there are still inherent risks associated with using AI trading bots, such as failing under pressure, misreading data, and a lack of transparency and reasoning. The study also found that large centralized exchanges, such as Binance, offer AI bot trading services to their users, which can provide benefits such as speed, logic, automation, and around-the-clock trading. The survey results suggest that while there is a growing interest in using AI for crypto trading and investing, there is still a level of skepticism and caution among market participants.
