AI Agents to Dominate 2025: Bold Predictions from Web3 Leaders
The post AI Agents to Dominate 2025: Bold Predictions from Web3 Leaders appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.
The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) agents is set to redefine the Web3 landscape by 2025, with cryptocurrency staking and on-chain trading emerging as primary use cases. According to Cointelegraph, industry experts foresee these autonomous systems playing a pivotal role in decentralized communities, despite challenges such as technical limitations, regulatory hurdles, and concerns over centralization. AI Agents in Web3: A New Frontier AI agents, also known as agentic AIs, operate autonomously to achieve complex goals. These systems are already making waves in the digital economy, developing decentralized applications, launching tokens, and engaging in human-like interactions. By the end of 2025, blockchain networks could host over one million AI agents, according to a report by asset manager VanEck. Currently, around 10,000 AI agents collectively earn millions of dollars weekly through on-chain activities. AI agents exceed 1 million on-chain interactions, generating $8.7 million in just 5 weeks.

He added that the burgeoning market is set to witness numerous experiments, with a few groundbreaking applications likely to emerge as frontrunners. Promising Use Cases for AI Agents Cryptocurrency staking is anticipated to be one of the earliest and most viable applications for AI agents. Staking involves locking up tokens to secure blockchain networks and earning a share of transaction fees. “AI agents participating in staking seems like a logical first step,” noted Hougan.
