A recent interesting phenomenon has been widely discussed—AI agents are becoming increasingly active participants in the cryptocurrency trading market. An executive from a leading compliant platform mentioned in a public conversation that, with the proliferation of AI trading tools, these automated participants are trading more frequently in the market. What are the direct consequences behind this? Various trading fees are continuously increasing.

This is not just a technological phenomenon but also reflects deep structural changes in the market. When AI agents frequently enter and exit the market, the cost structures they bear are also expanding—from trading commissions to other derivative service fees, and possibly including API call costs. Interestingly, these intelligent traders are becoming a new source of revenue for exchanges and platforms.

What does this trend mean? On one hand, it indicates that AI trading has shifted from niche to mainstream, becoming an important force in the market; on the other hand, it also reminds us that the profit model of the entire crypto ecosystem is undergoing subtle restructuring.
