HTX reported in its 2025 year-end review that automated trading strategies have surged, with grid-based bots gaining traction as market volatility narrows. The shift toward grid trading aims to capture micro-movements within defined price ranges. In 2025, grid trading volume increased by 97 percent year over year, with stablecoin pairs recording a 352 percent jump.
HTX ranks among the world’s top exchanges by volume, liquidity, and platform traffic. Coinbase has actively adopted AI-based trading agents to participate in the automated trading arena. In August 2024, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong disclosed experiments in which AI agents used crypto to interact with other AI systems and purchase AI training data. In October 2025, Coinbase introduced Payments MCP to enable AI agents to access on-chain financial services directly without APIs.
A CoinGecko survey from April 2025 showed 36 percent of respondents would be willing to entrust crypto asset management to AI agents. Yet some experts warn of security risks. Aaron Raitcliffe of Merkle Science cautioned that AI agents gaining wallet access could add a new layer of trust to a system that otherwise relies on user trust, potentially shifting security responsibility onto users.
