Nansen CEO: AI Agents Will Make Crypto Trading as Natural as Mobile Banking
Nansen is stepping into artificial intelligence with the launch of Nansen AI, a conversational trading agent designed to make onchain cryptocurrency trading as seamless as mobile banking.
Trading Without Charts
Announced Thursday, Nansen AI replaces traditional dashboards and static charts with a natural conversation interface that delivers real-time insights directly tied to investors’ portfolios. Built on Nansen’s database of more than 500 million labeled blockchain addresses, the platform promises faster and more accurate insights than general-purpose AI tools like ChatGPT or Claude.
“For years, investors have relied on dashboards and static charts to make sense of markets,” said Nansen CEO Alex Svanevik. “This delivers insights through conversation and connects directly to portfolios, analyzing performance drivers in real time.”
Research First, Trading Next
At launch, the platform will focus on research and insights. Users can integrate self-custodial wallets on Ethereum and other 25 major EVM-compatible blockchains, with more networks expected soon. Execution features are slated for later, with Nansen stressing that users will always confirm trades before they are finalized.
“Think of it as an AI co-pilot, with the human having the final say,” said Logan Brinkley, Nansen’s head of product UX and design.
Industry Reaction and Adoption Outlook
Industry leaders see this shift as a milestone for digital asset adoption. Tron founder Justin Sun noted that AI-driven platforms could “strengthen decision-making and contribute to the responsible adoption of blockchain technology.”
Meanwhile, venture capital firms like Pantera Capital and Dragonfly are closely monitoring the rise of AI agents in crypto, though large-scale investments remain limited.
AI-powered autonomous blockchain activity is already in motion, with programs like Luna on Virtuals Protocol executing payments between AI agents for services.
Nansen expects to introduce AI-powered agentic trading by Q4 2025, marking what could be a turning point for onchain trading interfaces.
“AI agents in crypto trading will become as natural as mobile banking is today,” Svanevik said, underscoring the company’s vision of a future where human intuition and AI precision work side by side.
