Half of Crypto Traders Believe AI Will Outperform Humans in Trading: Survey

Nearly half of cryptocurrency traders anticipate artificial intelligence will surpass human capabilities in market trading, according to a CoinGecko survey. Between 47% and 49% of respondents view AI as superior for crypto investing, while the remaining participants remain unconvinced of its edge. Opinions are sharply divided, with the prevailing sentiment suggesting AI may only "sometimes" outperform human traders.

Trust in AI-driven portfolio management remains cautious but growing. Thirty-six percent of investors would allocate 60% of their holdings to AI agents, while a bold 15%—approximately one in seven—would entrust their entire portfolio to algorithmic systems. The findings highlight an industry at the inflection point of technological disruption, where machine intelligence begins challenging human financial expertise.
