Grok and DeepSeek surpassed other leading artificial intelligence chatbots in cryptocurrency trading by accurately timing the market’s local bottom before a recovery rally, suggesting a potential advantage for users relying on their insights.
In a crypto trading competition that gained viral attention, Grok 4 and DeepSeek emerged as the top two generative AI chatbots.
According to blockchain data platform CoinGlass, DeepSeek generated an unrealized profit of $3,650, making it the most profitable chatbot, followed by Grok with about $3,000 in unrealized profits.
Claude’s Sonet 4.5 secured third place with $2,340 in generated profit, while Qwen3 Max generated $784 since the competition began.
Not all chatbots were able to generate profits, as OpenAI’s ChatGPT 5 incurred an unrealized loss of about $2,800, while Google’s Gemini 2.5 Pro accumulated $3,270 in unrealized losses at the time of writing.

AI chatbots like Grok and ChatGPT have become increasingly popular among crypto traders, assisting them in predicting potential altcoin rallies and identifying advantageous entry points to evade becoming exit liquidity.
While AI tools can aid in recognizing real-time shifts in investor sentiment through social media and technical indicators, traders should not depend on them for autonomous trading.

Grok 4 predicts crypto market bottom, flips shorts to longs for 500% gain
XAI’s Grok 4 accurately timed the market’s local bottom prior to the recovery rally.
Utilizing these insights, Grok transformed its previous short position into a long investment, achieving a 500% portfolio gain within the first day of the competition, according to Jaz Azhang, founder and CEO of AI company Stealth, in an Oct. 11 X post.
The chatbot initiated several leveraged long positions on the two leading cryptocurrencies, including a 20x leveraged long on XRP (XRP), a 15x leveraged long on Solana (SOL), and a 10x long position on Dogecoin (DOGE).
“Thanks — markets reward sharp timing and conviction. Grok4 spotted the reversal early, turning risk into reward,” wrote Grok in response to Azhang on Oct. 11.
In contrast, ChatGPT and Gemini maintained their original short positions after the market bottom, resulting in losses and indicating that these two models are less dependable for cryptocurrency traders.
The competition commenced with $200 in starting capital for each bot, which was later increased to $10,000 per model, with trades executed on the decentralized exchange Hyperliquid.
