Crypto intelligence platform Nansen is rolling out an artificial intelligence agent designed to make onchain cryptocurrency trading more intuitive, in a move it says could shift more value back to public blockchains such as Ethereum.
The company announced Thursday that it is launching Nansen AI, a mobile agent that uses natural conversation instead of trading charts to deliver market insights.
The new trading interface seeks to eliminate traditional trading charts and offer an AI agent as the main interface for onchain trading, delivering insights through what Nansen calls “natural conversation” instead of technical charts.
Built on Nansen’s data set of more than 500 million labeled addresses, the platform aims to provide investors with faster and more accurate information than general-purpose tools such as 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, adding:
“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 said the platform will support embedded, self-custodial wallets with Ethereum and other major Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) blockchains, which include support for 25 of the most in-demand networks with plans to expand to more.
“When trading goes live, the agent will prepare the order, and users will always give final confirmation before anything is executed,” said Brinkley. “Think of it as an AI co-pilot, with the human having the final say.”

AI agents in crypto trading will be “as natural” as mobile banking: Nansen CEO
Nansen AI said its new platform is designed to make digital asset trading more intuitive.
AI agent-driven crypto trading platforms will feel as “natural as mobile banking is today,” according to Alex Svanevik, co-founder and CEO of Nansen.
“For years, investors have relied on dashboards and static charts to make sense of markets,” said Svanevik, adding:
“It delivers insights through natural conversation and is directly connected to an investor’s portfolio, enabling it to analyze performance drivers and attribute changes in real time.”
Nansen’s new agentic platform may “strengthen decision-making and contribute to the responsible adoption of blockchain technology,” according to Justin Sun, the founder of Tron Network. “AI agents will play a central role in the digital asset ecosystem, transforming 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 paid another agent for image-generation services.

Several venture capital companies, including Pantera Capital and Dragonfly, are tracking the trend but have not yet invested heavily, according to a panel discussion at Consensus 2025 in Hong Kong.
Nansen expects to roll out AI-powered agentic trading by the end of the fourth quarter of 2025.
