Tiger Research: What AI Services Do Crypto Companies Offer?
This Tiger Research report examines the growing trend of cryptocurrency companies integrating AI services, driven by a fear of missing out (FOMO). Unlike previous cycles, established and profitable firms like Coinbase and Binance are leading this charge, moving AI from theory to practical necessity.
Key areas of AI adoption include:
- **Research:** Projects like Surf are building crypto-native AI tools that aggregate fragmented on-chain and social data, providing more accurate answers than general AI models.
- **Trading:** Exchanges are deploying AI to let users execute trades via natural language commands, lowering the barrier for non-developers and automating strategies. The goal is user retention in an increasingly competitive landscape.
- **Security/Audit:** Firms like CertiK use AI to enhance smart contract audits by automating initial code scans and enabling post-audit, real-time monitoring, thus addressing previous security blind spots.
- **Payment Infrastructure:** Protocols are emerging to enable AI agents to make autonomous payments (e.g., for APIs or services) using on-chain wallets and stablecoins. Circle’s proposed Gateway-x402 integration is a notable example, though this field is still nascent.
The push is fueled by rapid AI advancements (e.g., MCP, OpenClaw) and competitive anxiety. However, the report cautions that while adoption is accelerating, the gap between offering a feature and its actual, trusted use remains significant. The motivation is strategic positioning for an AI-driven future, not just marketing.
