AI-driven decentralized finance, DeFAI grows against the trend in a market winter
In the generally bearish sentiment of the AI agent market, the DeFAI track stands out, especially with projects in the Abstraction Layer.
Orbit and HeyAnon showcase powerful functional innovations, with Orbit positioning itself as the "financial assistant for AI agents" by integrating cross-chain payments and automated trading tools, while HeyAnon focuses on data insights and the developer ecosystem, launching practical tools like Gemma and AUTOMATE.
However, this track still faces issues such as complex user experiences and insufficient DeFi use cases, but due to its potential for simplifying interactions and enhancing efficiency, the long-term value of DeFAI remains a focal point.
Although some autonomous trading agent projects have seen significant pullbacks, after the market recovers, DeFAI may lead the AI agent bull market in 2025 due to its innovative positioning and strong narrative.
