Crypto intelligence platform Nansen is launching an artificial intelligence agent aimed at making on-chain cryptocurrency trading more user-friendly, which it claims could redirect more value back to public blockchains like Ethereum.
The company revealed on Thursday that it is introducing Nansen AI, a mobile agent that utilizes natural conversational techniques instead of trading charts to convey market insights.
This new trading interface is designed to replace traditional trading charts with an AI agent serving as the primary interface for on-chain trading, providing insights through what Nansen refers to as “natural conversation” rather than technical diagrams.
Leveraging Nansen’s data repository of over 500 million labeled addresses, the platform aims to furnish investors with quicker and more precise information compared to generic tools like ChatGPT or Claude.
“We’re starting with research and insights first, helping users discover and decide faster,” Logan Brinkley, head of product UX and design at Nansen, told Cointelegraph, continuing:
“Execution is on the roadmap, but we want to validate the core loop, improve the agent, and build trust before introducing trading flows.”
At launch, Nansen announced that the platform will accommodate embedded, self-custodial wallets with Ethereum and other prominent Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) blockchains, supporting 25 of the most sought-after networks and promising further expansion.
“When trading is activated, the agent will prepare the order while users will always confirm before any execution,” said Brinkley. “Think of it as an AI co-pilot, where the human has the final say.”

AI agents in crypto trading will be “as natural” as mobile banking: Nansen CEO
Nansen AI stated that its new platform aims to simplify digital asset trading.
According to Alex Svanevik, co-founder and CEO of Nansen, AI agent-driven crypto trading platforms will soon feel as “natural as mobile banking does today.”
“For years, investors have depended on dashboards and static charts to understand markets,” Svanevik remarked, adding:
“It delivers 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 innovative agentic platform could “enhance decision-making and contribute to the responsible adoption of blockchain technology,” stated Justin Sun, the founder of Tron Network. “AI agents will be pivotal in the digital asset ecosystem, reshaping how market participants access and interpret information.”

AI agents are already conducting 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 make significant investments, as discussed in a panel at Consensus 2025 in Hong Kong.
Nansen anticipates launching AI-powered agentic trading by the close of the fourth quarter of 2025.
