According to a survey by CoinGecko published on April 23, between 47% and 49% of respondents believe that AI agents will outperform humans in cryptocurrency trading and investing.

The remaining participants think that AI does not yet have an advantage over humans in the crypto market, which, according to CoinGecko analyst Yucan Lim, indicates that opinions on this topic remain divided.

The most common view was that AI would "sometimes" surpass humans in both trading and investing.

One in seven would fully entrust their portfolio to AI

About 36% of respondents expressed willingness to allow AI agents to manage up to 60% of their crypto portfolio. Meanwhile, 15% of investors said they would entrust AI with their entire portfolio.

Opinions regarding trusting AI with crypto wallets were mixed: 37% of respondents said they do not trust AI, 34% expressed trust, and 28% remained neutral. Additionally, 13% stated they would not trust any portion of their portfolio to AI.

When it came to trading performance, 13% believed that AI agents would only occasionally outperform humans, while 9% believed that AI would never surpass human traders.

At the same time, major centralized exchanges like Binance already offer their users AI-driven trading bots.

Advantages and risks of AI trading bots

The main advantages of AI-based trading bots include speed, logical decision-making, automation, and the ability to trade 24/7. However, significant risks also exist, such as system failures under pressure, misinterpretation of data, and the "black box" problem — lack of transparency in algorithmic decisions.

The survey gathered responses from 2,632 cryptocurrency market participants between February 20 and March 10, 2025.
