The crypto intelligence platform Nansen is introducing an AI agent aimed at making on-chain cryptocurrency trading more user-friendly, signaling a potential shift back toward public blockchains like Ethereum.
On Thursday, the company revealed the launch of Nansen AI, a mobile agent that utilizes natural conversation rather than trading charts to provide market insights.
This new trading interface is designed to replace conventional trading charts, presenting an AI agent as the primary interaction point for on-chain trading, offering insights through what Nansen describes as “natural conversation” instead of technical charts.
Leveraging Nansen’s comprehensive dataset of over 500 million labeled addresses, the platform intends to equip investors with quicker and more precise information compared to general-purpose tools like ChatGPT or Claude.
“Our focus is on research and insights initially, aiding users in quicker decision-making,” stated Logan Brinkley, Nansen’s head of product UX and design, adding:
“Execution will come later, but we need to validate the core loop, enhance the agent, and build trust before introducing trading flows.”
At its launch, Nansen announced that the platform would incorporate embedded, self-custodial wallets compatible with Ethereum and other major EVM blockchains, now supporting 25 of the most sought-after networks, with plans for further expansion.
“When trading is operational, the agent will prepare the order, and users will always provide final approval before execution,” Brinkley noted. “Consider it as an AI co-pilot where the human retains ultimate control.”

Nansen AI asserts that its new platform is geared toward making digital asset trading more intuitive.
According to Alex Svanevik, co-founder and CEO of Nansen, AI-driven crypto trading platforms will feel as “natural as today’s mobile banking.”
“For years, investors have relied on dashboards and static charts to make sense of markets,” Svanevik stated, adding:
“It provides insights via natural conversation and is directly linked to the investor’s portfolio, enabling real-time performance analysis and changes.”
Nansen’s innovative platform may “enhance decision-making and foster the responsible adoption of blockchain technology,” according to Justin Sun, founder of the Tron Network. “AI agents will be pivotal in the digital asset ecosystem, revolutionizing how market participants access and interpret 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.
Various venture capital firms, including Pantera Capital and Dragonfly, are monitoring this trend but have yet to make significant investments, as noted in a panel discussion at Consensus 2025 in Hong Kong.
Nansen anticipates launching AI-powered trading by the end of Q4 2025.
