Survey: Approximately 70% of US Crypto Traders Willing to Let AI Manage Their Portfolios

Odaily Planet Daily reports that a survey of 1,400 US crypto traders by OKX shows approximately 70% of respondents are willing to let AI manage their portfolios without per-trade human review, including fully autonomous operation or making automatic decisions within self-set risk limits. Younger respondents showed a higher willingness to cede control. 38% of Gen Z traders and 37% of Millennials expressed willingness to grant AI complete, unsupervised authority, compared to 11% of Baby Boomers.

The survey indicates that 51% of respondents use AI tools multiple times a week for research or trading, and 77% have used general-purpose chatbots to research crypto positions in the past three months. Real-time notifications and the ability to instantly revoke system permissions were the most desired safeguards among respondents.

79% of respondents stated they would consider switching exchanges if other platforms offered better AI tools. The US SEC, FINRA, and state securities regulators have reminded investors to verify platform registration information and be wary of promises of low risk and high returns.
