A new research paper analyzes the performance and architecture of DeFi investment agents, which use AI for autonomous on-chain trading. The study found that while these agents have collectively reached over $3 billion in token valuations since late 2024, many current deployments are early-stage and lack clear evidence of autonomous trade execution. Token holders have collectively lost $191.7 million, with significant gains captured by a small percentage of wallets, and token valuations appear weakly connected to treasury fundamentals. AI
