Nansen Launches AI Agent to Enhance Onchain Cryptocurrency Trading

Crypto intelligence platform Nansen is introducing an artificial intelligence agent aimed at making onchain cryptocurrency trading more intuitive, claiming this could redirect more value back to public blockchains like Ethereum.

The company announced on Thursday the launch of Nansen AI, a mobile agent that utilizes natural conversation instead of traditional trading charts to provide market insights.

Nansen AI: A New Trading Interface

This new trading interface aims to replace conventional trading charts with an AI agent as the primary interface for onchain trading, delivering insights through what Nansen describes as “natural conversation” rather than technical charts.

Grounded in Nansen’s comprehensive data set of over 500 million labeled addresses, the platform strives to offer investors faster and more precise information compared to one-size-fits-all tools like ChatGPT or Claude.

At launch, Nansen stated that the platform will support embedded, self-custodial wallets with Ethereum and other key Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) blockchains, covering 25 of the most relevant networks with plans for further expansion.

“When trading goes live, the agent will prepare the order, and users will always give final confirmation before anything is executed,” Brinkley explained. “Think of it as an AI co-pilot, with the human having the final say.”

According to Alex Svanevik, co-founder and CEO of Nansen, AI agent-driven crypto trading platforms will be as “natural as mobile banking is today.” He noted, “For years, investors have relied on dashboards and static charts to make sense of markets.”

Justin Sun, founder of the Tron Network, remarked that Nansen’s new agentic platform may “strengthen decision-making and contribute to the responsible adoption of blockchain technology.” He believes that AI agents will be crucial in shaping how market participants access and interpret information.

AI agents are already conducting autonomous blockchain transactions, exemplified by Luna, an AI program on Virtuals Protocol that recently compensated another agent for image-generation services.

Several venture capital firms, including Pantera Capital and Dragonfly, are observing this trend but have not yet made significant investments, as indicated during a panel discussion at Consensus 2025 in Hong Kong.

Nansen anticipates rolling out AI-powered agentic trading by the end of the fourth quarter of 2025
