Crypto Agent: The Super Track Worth Following in 2025

Since late January, global AI concept stocks have seen a significant decline, with a well-known chip company's stock plunging directly by 17%. The Crypto Agent sector has not been spared either, with the overall market value dropping from 12 billion USD to below 6 billion USD, and most blue-chip Agent tokens experiencing a decline of over 70%, while some concept tokens have seen declines exceeding 90%.

Currently, there is a prevailing pessimism in the market regarding the Agent track. Some believe that this is merely a short-term hype concept and that the bubble has already burst. So, will the Agent track, like some past popular concepts, be short-lived? Is this track, which was once highly anticipated, destined to falter before it even has a chance to grow?

As a researcher who has been following the development of the Agent track for a long time, my view has always been consistent: Crypto Agent is a major track with long-term growth potential that will develop in parallel with the traditional AI industry, nurturing a unique Agent ecology in the Crypto field. Therefore, Crypto Agent is by no means a short-term concept hype; after a brief adjustment, it will quickly recover and remain one of the most noteworthy tracks in 2025.

To determine whether a crypto track has long-term growth value, we can consider the following three aspects:

1. Does this track truly solve problems and create value?
2. Has crypto played an irreplaceable role in this field?
3. Does this track have a continuous inflow of talent and funding?

Let's discuss these issues one by one to assess whether Crypto Agent is a super track worth following in the long term.

1. What problems does Crypto Agent solve, and what value does it create?

The essence of an Agent is that of a representative, acting on behalf of humans to complete a series of tasks or specific jobs. The main value of an Agent lies in cost reduction and efficiency enhancement, which is no exception in the Crypto field. Here are some specific application cases:

• Scientific Paper Auditing: Agents can replace humans in correcting scientific papers, improving accuracy and efficiency.
• Investment Research Analysis: Agent can replace investment researchers for investment analysis.
• Brand Marketing: Agents can achieve 24/7 brand exposure and community interaction.
• DeFi field: Agents can perform smarter financial management, lowering the entry barriers for DeFi.
• In the SaaS field: Agents may disrupt the traditional SaaS model, replacing programmers in app deployment.

Although the current Crypto Agent application is not fully mature, with the rapid development of AI technology and the reduction of training costs, the outbreak and popularization of large-scale Agent applications is just a matter of time. The Crypto Agent application will also further play a role in reducing costs and increasing efficiency through rapid iterative upgrades.

In addition to specific applications, the infrastructure of Crypto Agent is equally important, including various Agent frameworks and the infrastructure exploring the deep integration of Crypto and Agents.

2. Has Crypto played an irreplaceable role in the Agent track?

Crypto is not only the currency of AI but also the infrastructure that supports the identity, asset accounts, and asset settlement needs of Agents (silicon-based individuals). Agents without Crypto will lose their independent and trustworthy social attributes. The development of Agents is inseparable from Crypto, and Agents will also become the largest service users of Crypto.

The main points are as follows:

1. Future mainstream Agents will be divided into two categories: one is tool-type Agents controlled by individuals or companies, and the other is independent Agents built on a Crypto-based identity and account system. The latter is closer to "silicon-based life forms" and must be built on Crypto.

2. Agents will become the largest user group of Crypto, which in turn will help Crypto thrive even more. In the future, the number of on-chain Agents may surpass the number of human users.

3. The current consensus in the AI industry believes that enabling independent and autonomous interaction among Agents is an important exploratory direction towards AGI. Based on this background, truly independent and autonomous Agents must rely on Crypto for their construction; thus, Crypto will play a long-term and irreplaceable role in the exploration of AI.

3. Does the Agent track have a continuous influx of talent and funds?

Agents are the mainstream development direction of the global AI industry. It is widely expected that 2025 will be the year of Agents, and in the next 5-10 years, Agents will experience sustained explosive growth.

Although recent technological breakthroughs have had a short-term impact on the AI industry, in the long run, the significant decrease in AI training costs will greatly promote the widespread adoption of Agent applications, similar to how the reduction in smartphone costs has facilitated the development of the mobile internet economy.

The continuous development of the mainstream Agent industry will create a sustained output of creativity and development momentum for Crypto Agents. The more free and efficient asset issuance and fundraising methods of Crypto will continue to attract outstanding entrepreneurs from the global AI field, allowing the Crypto Agent track to continuously absorb talent and capital overflow from the traditional AI industry.

It is expected that by 2025, more professional AI talents will enter the Crypto field, bringing a continuous influx of talent and capital to the Crypto Agent track, driving the entire track towards a scale of hundreds of billions of dollars.

Summary

Through a multidimensional analysis of the Crypto Agent track, we can conclude that Crypto Agent meets the criteria for long-term growth tracks. Once the market stabilizes, Crypto Agent is expected to recover quickly and usher in a long-term explosive growth. Crypto Agent remains one of the most worthy tracks to follow in 2025 and even in this bull market.
