Odaily Planet Daily News: Alex Svanevik, CEO of on-chain data platform Nansen, stated that it is expected that within about two years, the number of AI trading agents will surpass human traders. Nansen is shifting its product from a pure analysis tool to one that enables direct trading, and is restructuring the platform around using agents to trade all assets on-chain. Currently, this feature has accumulated a trading volume of over USD 500 million. Svanevik noted that approximately 10 of the top 15 perpetual contracts by trading volume on Nansen are non-crypto assets, including SpaceX, the S&P 500 index, gold, and crude oil. Nansen plans to open more autonomous trading agents after completing backtesting and paper trading, in order to reduce inference costs and control the risk of input poisoning.
