In 2025, approximately 40% of venture capital invested in crypto companies went towards firms that integrated artificial intelligence and crypto, marking a significant increase from the previous year. This trend is driven by the growing importance of AI in crypto, with Binance Research noting that AI is becoming an integral part of crypto's product and infrastructure stack. The shift from AI 'co-pilots' to 'agents' is also evident, enabling more automated decision-making and execution. With AI spending on the rise, crypto companies are adapting by incorporating AI into their business models, often faster than traditional financial institutions.
According to Binance Research, crypto platforms have an advantage in deploying AI systems due to their always-on markets and programmable infrastructure. The adoption of AI solutions varies across exchanges and brokers, but the use of AI tools is becoming increasingly prevalent, with several major platforms introducing agentic products that bring AI closer to monitoring and execution.
