The initial success of AiXBT indicated we were dealing with an unexpectedly efficient crypto AI agent. Over the months, enthusiasm has slightly diminished, although it persists. Nonetheless, AiXBT has set a path destined to inspire many imitators.
Certain applications have the ability to mark a turning point. For instance, when Doom was launched in the early ’90s, the studio id Software introduced a new mode of commercialization that became iconic: the first level is distributed freely online, and if users are interested, they can purchase the complete game.
AiXBT belongs to this category. The initial impact of this application blending AI and cryptocurrency was tremendous. Launched in November 2024, AiXBT was highlighted in a Forbes column at the beginning of January. Meanwhile, its corresponding X account had already amassed roughly 300,000 followers. Admittedly, since the start of 2025, the growth has abated somewhat as it became evident that AIXBT was not flawless.
A crypto influencer powered by AI
AiXBT emerged like a UFO, born from the fusion of two technological worlds: cryptocurrency and artificial intelligence.
This crypto influencer account surfaced on X in early November. It stands out from the beginning with insightful opinions. AiXBT communicates in a familiar tone reminiscent of certain X influencers. We can inquire about whether it would be advisable to follow a particular project, and it responds with notable precision.
The strong point is that unlike major X stars like Caitlyn Jenner, AiXBT has no personal existence. It is completely powered by artificial intelligence.
The surprise was significant enough for the AiXBT account to gather hundreds of thousands of followers over the weeks.
An AI agent dedicated to crypto
It’s worth recalling what an AI agent is: it’s an application capable of conducting research and analysis independently, allowing it to make decisions and take actions. Naturally, the cryptocurrency sector is particularly receptive to such tools because the ability to manage operations wisely in real-time can make a substantial difference.
Who is behind AiXBT?
When exploring the origins of AiXBT, the situation becomes intriguing. An anonymous developer is behind the project. The developer identifies as Rxbt—notably, XBT was formerly the official symbol for Bitcoin.
The AiXBT account was launched from Virtuals, a suite of technologies supporting the development of AI agents. It was described by its creator as a kind of “Bloomberg terminal for individuals.”
Real-time analysis
In practice, AiXBT provides analyses and advice on the crypto markets to anyone who interacts with it. To offer its insights, it continuously analyzes data from about 400 opinion leaders. It anticipates trends, provides precise predictions, and offers risk evaluations…
The native token
AiXBT is associated with a native token, AIXBT, which increased from $0.02 at the end of November to over $0.65 just before the New Year. By late December, the project had gained the support of influential figures in the crypto world, like the treasury fund of Quantum Cats, which invested over 1 million dollars in AIXBT. By January 2025, Binance deemed it worthy of inclusion in its cryptocurrency panel.
In reality, this token appears more like a speculative asset than a true utility token. Its value partly relies on the buzz surrounding the phenomenon of crypto AI agents. Yet by the end of May 2025, its total capitalization hovers around 200 million dollars, and the reference site CoinGecko shows that 70% of voters are optimistic about its trajectory.
More than 92% of AIXBT tokens are already in circulation. This is favorable for investors, as it implies a high supply stability and low pressure for price drops when issuing new tokens.
Trading for all
AiXBT offers the advantage of providing advice to anyone willing to initiate an online conversation. Its risk assessment reports can help react swiftly. It is appreciated for offering easy and fair access to this kind of information.
The project has successfully built a remarkable community. It boasts around 500,000 followers and also benefits from an active Telegram community.
Regrettable opacity
Nonetheless, on May 13, an expert named BTDcrypto caused a stir by revealing that, according to his analysis, AiXBT’s accuracy rate peaked at around 31%. Most of its predictions did not lead to any truly actionable signals. This Medium article raised serious questions regarding its actual effectiveness as a decision-support tool. Moreover, it appears that AiXBT relies solely on expert opinions, without delving deeply into analyzing the source codes of projects, for example.
What is most concerning is the opacity surrounding AiXBT. The creator’s identity remains unknown, and there is no specific white paper available to date. Similarly, the identity of the around 400 experts is not public.
Finally, others point out additional potential weaknesses:
- AIXBT relies on the X API. If the platform changes its rules, the virtual influencer could cease to function.
- The AI and data appear to be hosted on centralized servers like AWS or Google Cloud. If subscriptions are no longer paid, everything could disappear.
- The top 5 wallets hold over 30% of the supply, making the project vulnerable to manipulation.
To progress, AIXBT should launch a true website outlining its mission and publish a white paper detailing its technological foundations and roadmap.
A pioneer?
Above all, AiXBT is a forerunner of a new form of services poised to proliferate around artificial intelligence. It has the potential to inspire numerous imitators in the realm of AI agents, such as in influencer marketing, with trend analysis and the creation of targeted content for specific audiences.
AIXBT thus emerges as an intriguing project, positioned at the intersection of AI and crypto culture. Will it be a pioneer of AI… or just a fleeting star? The future will tell.
