Nansen, a crypto intelligence platform, is introducing an AI agent aimed at simplifying on-chain cryptocurrency trading, a move that could redirect value back to public blockchains like Ethereum.
The company announced on Thursday the launch of Nansen AI, a mobile agent that employs natural conversation rather than trading charts to provide market insights.
This new trading interface plans to replace traditional trading charts with an AI agent as the primary tool for on-chain trading, offering insights through what Nansen refers to as “natural conversation” instead of using technical charts.
Leveraging Nansen’s extensive dataset of over 500 million labeled addresses, the platform aims to provide investors with quicker and more precise information compared to general-purpose tools like ChatGPT or Claude.
“We’re beginning with research and insights first, assisting users in discovering and deciding more swiftly,” said Logan Brinkley, head of product UX and design at Nansen, adding:
“Execution is on the roadmap, but we want to validate the core loop, enhance the agent, and build trust before we introduce trading flows.”
Upon launching, Nansen stated that the platform will back embedded, self-custodial wallets with Ethereum and other major Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) blockchains, offering support for 25 in-demand networks with the aim of expanding further.
“When trading is operational, the agent will prepare the order, and users will always provide final approval before anything is executed,” Brinkley mentioned. “Envision it as an AI co-pilot, with the human having the final word.”

AI agents in crypto trading will be “as natural” as mobile banking: Nansen CEO
Nansen AI stated that its new platform is crafted to make digital asset trading more intuitive.
According to Alex Svanevik, co-founder and CEO of Nansen, AI agent-driven crypto trading platforms will feel as “natural as mobile banking is today.”
“For years, investors have depended on dashboards and static charts to interpret markets,” Svanevik noted, adding:
“It provides insights through natural conversation and is directly linked to an investor’s portfolio, allowing it to analyze performance drivers and attribute changes in real time.”
Nansen’s new agent-centric platform may “enhance decision-making and promote the responsible adoption of blockchain technology,” stated Justin Sun, the founder of Tron Network. “AI agents will be pivotal in the digital asset ecosystem, changing how market participants access and understand information.”

AI agents are already executing autonomous blockchain transactions, such as 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 monitoring this trend but have yet to invest significantly, according to a panel discussion at Consensus 2025 in Hong Kong.
Nansen anticipates launching AI-powered agent-driven trading by the end of the fourth quarter of 2025.
