The crypto intelligence platform Nansen is introducing an artificial intelligence agent aimed at simplifying on-chain cryptocurrency trading, stating that this could redirect more value back to public blockchains like Ethereum.
The company disclosed on Thursday the launch of Nansen AI, a mobile agent that utilizes natural dialogue rather than trading charts to provide market insights.
This new trading interface intends to replace conventional trading charts with an AI agent serving as the primary interface for on-chain trading, offering insights through what Nansen refers to as “natural conversation” rather than technical charts.
Utilizing Nansen’s dataset of over 500 million labeled addresses, the platform aspires to equip investors with faster and more precise information than generalized tools like ChatGPT or Claude.
“We’re commencing with research and insights first, assisting users in discovering and deciding more swiftly,” Logan Brinkley, head of product UX and design at Nansen, informed Cointelegraph, adding:
“Execution is on the roadmap, but we want to validate the core loop, enhance the agent, and establish trust before introducing trading flows.”
At its launch, Nansen mentioned that the platform will accommodate embedded, self-custodial wallets with Ethereum and other significant Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) blockchains, including support for 25 of the most sought-after networks with intentions to grow further.
“When trading goes live, the agent will prepare the order, and users will always provide final confirmation before anything is executed,” remarked Brinkley. “Think of it as an AI co-pilot, where the human retains the final authority.”

AI agents in crypto trading will be “as natural” as mobile banking: Nansen CEO
Nansen AI claims its new platform aims to make digital asset trading more user-friendly.
AI agent-driven crypto trading platforms will feel as “natural as mobile banking is today,” stated Alex Svanevik, co-founder and CEO of Nansen.
“For years, investors have depended on dashboards and static charts to interpret markets,” Svanevik remarked, adding:
“It delivers insights through natural conversation and is directly linked to an investor’s portfolio, allowing it to assess performance drivers and attribute changes in real time.”
Nansen’s innovative agentic platform could “enhance decision-making and contribute to the responsible adoption of blockchain technology,” as stated by Justin Sun, founder of the Tron Network. “AI agents will be pivotal in the digital asset ecosystem, altering how market participants access and interpret information.”

AI agents are already carrying out autonomous blockchain transactions, such as Luna, an AI program on Virtuals Protocol that recently compensated another agent for image-generation services.
Numerous venture capital firms, including Pantera Capital and Dragonfly, are observing this trend but have not yet made significant investments, as noted during a panel discussion at Consensus 2025 in Hong Kong.
Nansen anticipates launching AI-powered agentic trading by the close of the fourth quarter of 2025.
