The AI agent will be rolled out in three phases, the first of which will include integration on social media platform X and the ability to respond to basic commands like "swap 100 USDC for ETH." The second phase will allow traders and developers to deploy AI agents to specific needs including futures trading and liquidity management.
The third and final phase is the introduction of a "meta agent" which is capable of creating and managing multiple agents in order to manage complex workflows and trading strategies.
The use of AI in trading is nothing new, a report last year estimates that around 65% of all equities trading is executed by algorithms. But the ability to deploy AI has the potential how traders interact with blockchain trading and decentralized finance (DeFi).
"Our vision extends beyond this launch—we plan to develop a framework that will fundamentally transform how users interact and integrate with the onchain economy,” said Rachel Lin, co-founder and CEO of SynFutures.

KuCoin captured a record share of centralised exchange volume in 2025, with more than $1.25tn traded as its volumes grew faster than the wider crypto market.
What to know:
- KuCoin recorded over $1.25 trillion in total trading volume in 2025, equivalent to an average of roughly $114 billion per month, marking its strongest year on record.
- This performance translated into an all-time high share of centralised exchange volume, as KuCoin’s activity expanded faster than aggregate CEX volumes, which slowed during periods of lower market volatility.
- Spot and derivatives volumes were evenly split, each exceeding $500 billion for the year, signalling broad-based usage rather than reliance on a single product line.
- Altcoins accounted for the majority of trading activity, reinforcing KuCoin’s role as a primary liquidity venue beyond BTC and ETH at a time when majors saw more muted turnover.
- Even as overall crypto volumes softened mid-year, KuCoin maintained elevated baseline activity, indicating structurally higher user engagement rather than short-lived volume spikes.
