Crypto AI Agents Surge, Exchanges' Revenue Still Dominant

Cryptocurrency exchanges are seeing a rapid expansion of AI agent accounts, but traditional crypto revenue streams still significantly outpace these new figures. Robinhood Markets now has close to 100,000 agentic trading accounts, with total assets exceeding $100 million. This represents about 0.03% of the company's total platform assets. Coinbase Global reports that over 97% of onchain agent transactions in the second quarter used x402, and more than 90% of agentic stablecoin volume was processed on Base. However, Coinbase did not share specific figures for total agent volume or revenue. While agent activity is increasing, especially in transaction and payment infrastructure, the asset base for these agents remains modest compared to the main platforms. This trend highlights the evolving landscape of automated trading in crypto.
