The era of AI agents, predicted by Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, has rapidly emerged as a core theme set to shake up the virtual asset market. With even major exchange Coinbase identifying AI agents as the future of virtual assets, the disclosure of three promising coins expected to see explosive growth and indirect investment opportunities is drawing keen market attention.
According to investment specialized media The Motley Fool on April 11 (local time), Coinbase Global (COIN) recently expressed the view that AI agents will change the paradigm of the virtual asset ecosystem. In response, the media suggested BitTensor (TAO), Kite (KITE), and VirtualsProtocol (VIRTUAL) as key assets worth including in portfolios, related to the AI agent theme which has become a new haven for investors' funds.
BitTensor, the first to be named, is a decentralized blockchain protocol designed for sharing and training large language models (LLMs). It serves as a Layer 1 blockchain for open decentralized AI projects and hosts significant projects like MyShell, which has 6 million users and 265,000 AI agents. BitTensor, which has risen over 45% this year, currently boasts a market capitalization of $3.5 billion, firmly establishing itself among the top 30 global virtual assets.
Kite, the second project to gain attention, is the first AI payment blockchain built in 2025, targeting the era of AI agents. Having surged 69% this year to reach a market capitalization of $275 million, Kite particularly drew attention by attracting investment from Coinbase Ventures. Unlike other smaller AI coins, its official listing on the Coinbase exchange makes it highly accessible to general investors, which is its most powerful weapon.
VirtualsProtocol, the third promising project, is a platform for creating, owning, and monetizing AI agents. It was a market-leading coin in its early days, boasting the world's best returns. However, it has experienced extreme price volatility as the bubble burst, trading at an 87% discount from its all-time high in January 2025.
The media advises that if the high volatility and speculative nature of AI virtual asset investments are burdensome, investing in Coinbase stock, which is heavily invested in the AI agent ecosystem, could be a much safer alternative. Indeed, Coinbase is aggressively expanding its related infrastructure, such as granting AI agents their own cryptocurrency wallets and allowing various asset transactions within its trading platform.
