Nansen has launched autonomous cryptocurrency trading tools that allow users to execute trades via artificial intelligence agents and natural language prompts, as the platform expands beyond analytics into transaction execution.
The new feature allows users to place trades by entering conversational commands into Nansen’s mobile app, instead of using traditional charts or order books, the company said in an announcement shared Wednesday. The product is aimed at private users looking for simplified access to crypto markets.
Nansen AI can also analyze and provide onchain signals. The trading feature will initially support activity on the Base and Solana blockchains, with plans to expand to additional networks, Nansen said.
The AI interface is based on Nansen’s proprietary onchain database, which the company says contains hundreds of millions of labeled blockchain addresses, with the aim of providing investors with more reliable crypto market analysis compared to general-purpose AI bots such as Google’s Gemini or OpenAI’s ChatGPT.

“Nansen has been focused on surfacing high-quality onchain signals for investors for years,” said Nansen co-founder and CEO Alex Svanevik. “With this launch, users can act on these insights directly within our product.”
“Now we are closing the loop by enabling users to trade our product directly, both through an AI-native conversational mobile UX and a web-based trading terminal.”
To execute cross-chain trading transactions in Solana and Base, Nansen collaborated with decentralized exchange Jupiter, crypto exchange OKX and cross-chain protocol LI.FI, which will facilitate support for more emerging blockchain networks.
Trading is handled through the built-in Nansen Wallet, powered by Privy’s self-managed wallet experience.
The company said autonomous trading will be available to users starting Wednesday, excluding residents of certain jurisdictions including Singapore, Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, Russia and parts of Ukraine, citing regulatory restrictions.
Launch highlights the rise of AI
The launch comes amid growing interest in AI-assisted trading in the crypto industry, as companies experiment with automated strategies and conversational interfaces to lower barriers to retail participation.

Additionally, recent tests have shown that cheaper Chinese AI models can outperform larger Western systems on crypto trading tasks. In an autonomous trading competition reported by Cointelegraph in November 2025, models such as QWEN3 MAX and DeepSeek generated stronger results than several high-profile AI chatbots, with QWEN3 being the only model to post positive returns.

The results revealed persistent limitations in the real-time market execution of even the most advanced general-purpose AI systems.
