Experts Discuss How AI Agents Will Transform the Workplace

Published

on


Artificial intelligence (AI) agents are expected to change almost every aspect of the workplace. As more of these autonomous systems are integrated into crypto and blockchain projects, questions arise regarding how long it will be before AI agents appear in mainstream work areas. 

BeInCrypto spoke with representatives from Coinbase, Theoriq, O.xyz, 0G Labs, and Balance.fun to learn more about how AI agents operate, what areas of the workplace they will impact the most, and how to best prepare for their permanent arrival. 

The Rise of AI Agents

AI agents have become a hot topic in Web3 as a subsection of artificial intelligence.

This technology drives change across various sectors, offering cost savings and productivity improvements. It is also influencing how decisions are made and redefining job roles.

These systems make decisions and perform tasks independently. Unlike AI bots, they adapt to tasks and handle multi-step processes with goal-oriented autonomy. Given their vast capabilities, AI agents have also unleashed alarm bells due to the disruptions they can cause to current workforce dynamics.

According to a recent report by All About AI, nearly one-third of workers worldwide worry that AI advancements could replace their jobs within the next three years. The potential behind these agents further validates their fears.

“‬‭It‬‭ could‬‭ boost‬‭ economic‬‭ efficiency‬‭ and‬‭ innovation‬‭ but‬‭ also‬‭ lead‬‭ to‬‭ job‬‭ displacement, requiring‬‭ reskilling‬‭ for‬‭ affected‬‭ workers.‬‭ Socially,‬‭ it‬‭ could‬‭ widen‬‭ inequality‬‭ without‬‭ equitable‬‭ access,‬‭ while‬‭ fostering‬‭ advancements‬‭ in‬‭ healthcare,‬‭ education,‬‭ and‬‭ productivity,” Michael Heinrich, Co-Founder and CEO of 0G Labs, told BeInCrypto.

In a statement earlier this month, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman predicted that the first AI agents could enter the workforce by 2025, altering how businesses operate. Meanwhile, markets are already feeling their effects.

A New Market Force

AI agents’ impact on the crypto market has already been extensive. According to data from Crypto.com, artificial intelligence emerged as the best-performing sector in 2024, with AI agents particularly witnessing the biggest log return of 186%.

This success also spilled into innovations in the blockchain industry.

“‬‭Investment‬‭ in‬‭ AI‬‭ related‬‭ Blockchain‬‭ projects‬‭ also‬‭ surged‬‭ by‬‭ 340%‬‭ year-over-year‬‭ in‬‭ 2024‬‭.‬‭ In‬‭ 2025‬‭ it’s‬‭ predicted‬‭ that‬‭ over‬‭ 80%‬‭ of‬‭ blockchain‬‭ transactions‬‭ will‬‭ involve‭ autonomous agents, marking a shift in how decentralized networks operate,” ‭‭ Ahmad‬‭ Shadid‬‭,‬‭ Founder‬‭ and‬‭ CEO of‬‭ O.xyz‬, told BeInCrypto.

Key AI agent projects that have gained traction over the past year showcase their potential for broader industry applications.

Leading AI-Powered Crypto Projects

The Virtuals Protocol, which allows users to create and monetize AI agents using cryptocurrency tokens, contributed significantly to the growth of AI agents last year.  

One example is Aixbt, an AI-powered influencer launched on the platform in November. Aixbt uses machine learning, natural language processing, and predictive analytics to give users insights into the cryptocurrency market. By automating market analysis, it suggests trading strategies based on probabilities.

“AI‬‭ agents‬‭ are‬‭ already‬‭ making‬‭ waves‬‭ in‬‭ the‬‭ crypto‬‭ sector,‬‭ starting‬‭ as‬‭ “social”‬‭ or‬‭ “personality”‬‭ agents.‬‭ These‬‭ agents scrape‬‭ data‬‭ from‬‭ various‬‭ sources‬‭ to‬‭ provide‬‭ users‬‭ with‬‭ valuable‬‭ insights‬‭ and‬‭ commentary.‬‭ They’ve‬‭ captured‬‭ widespread‬‭ attention,‬‭ showcasing‬‭ the‬‭ potential‬‭ of‬‭ AI‬‭ in‬‭ Web3,” said Ron Bodkin, Founder at Theoriq. 

Truth Terminal is another AI agent that blends cultural creativity with blockchain functionality. It’s best known for creating the “Goatse Gospel,” a quirky AI-generated narrative that inspired the meme coin GOAT. 

But it’s not just about memes. It leverages AI to produce viral content and innovative ideas that resonate with communities. 

“Meme‬‭ coins‬‭ –‬‭a‬‭ sector‬‭ often‬‭ dismissed‬‭ as‬‭ niche‬‭–‭ have‬‭ demonstrated‬‭ the‬‭ power‬‭ of‬‭ autonomous‬‭ agents.‬‭ GOAT,”‬ a‬‭ meme‬‭ coin‬‭ that‬‭ reached‬‭ a‬‭ $937‬‭ million‬‭ valuation‬‭ as‬‭ per‬‭ Bitget‬‭ report‬‭,‬‭ exemplifies‬‭ this.‬‭ The Terminal of‬‭ Truths influenced the coin’s‬ ‭ success‬‭.‬‭ With‬‭ over‬‭ 250,000‬‭ followers‬‭ on‬‭ X,‬‭ it‬‭ showcases‬‭ how‬‭ AI‬‭ agents‬‭ can‬‭ integrate‬‭ with‬‭ public‬‭ platforms‬‭ to‬‭ drive‬‭ engagement‬‭ and‬‭ decision-making,” Shadid added. 

As AI agents improve, their personalized insights, automated strategies, and intuitive interface will transform crypto trading.

AI-Driven Crypto Trading

While last year saw these autonomous systems primarily used for content creation and social media engagement to generate attention, AI agents in crypto trading are poised to be a defining trend in 2025

“AI‬‭ agents‬‭ in‬‭ Web3‬‭ have‬‭ already‬‭ reached‬‭ a‬‭ market‬‭ valuation‬‭ of‬‭ $15‬‭ billion‬‭ at‬‭ the‬‭ end‬‭ of‬‭ 2024,‬‭ with‬‭ projections‬‭ of‬‭ $150‬‭ billion‬‭ by‬‭ the‬‭ end‬‭ of‬‭ 2025,” Bodkin noted. 

Given their inherent autonomy, AI agents can act independently. Because they aren’t human, they can work 24-hour shifts.

“‭The‬‭ future‬‭ development‬‭ goal‬‭ of‬‭ AI‬‭ agents‬‭ is‬‭ to‬‭ become‬‭ more‬‭ intelligent‬‭ humans,‬‭ performing‬‭ better‬‭ under‬‭ the‬‭ existing‬‭ rules‬‭ of‬‭ the‬‭ game.‬‭ Rather‬‭ than‬‭ necessarily‬‭ changing the rules of the game,” said Norris Wang, Co-Founder at gaming companion platform Balance.fun.

AI agents’ advantages over humans allow them to continuously monitor market conditions and execute actions based on pre-defined parameters without requiring constant user intervention.

They can effectively function as self-reliant assistants for managing cryptocurrency portfolios and executing trades.

“AI‬‭ agents‬‭ will‬‭ automate‬‭ trading‬‭ strategies,‬‭ simplify‬‭ complex‬‭ transactions,‬‭ and‬ ‭ make‬‭ crypto‬‭ more‬‭ user-friendly.‬‭ Imagine‬‭ being‬‭ able‬‭ to‬‭ trade,‬‭ manage‬‭ your‬‭ portfolio‬‭ or‬‭ even‬‭ pay‬‭ for‬‭ fast‬‭ food‬‭ with‬‭ just‬‭ a‬‭ voice‬‭ command,” said Nemil‬‭ Dalal‬‭,‬‭ Head‬‭ of‬‭ Coinbase’s‬‭ Developer Platform‬.

According to Shadid, AI agents will have a particularly strong impact on crypto staking and DAO governance.

“As‬‭ of‬‭ January‬‭ 2025‬‭ over‬‭ 10,000‬‭ Al‬‭ agents‬‭ operate‬‭ in‬‭ the‬‭ Web‬‭ 3‬‭ ecosystem. ‬‭In‬‭ staking‬‭ AI‬‭ agents‬‭ can‬‭ optimize‬‭ participation‬‭ by‬‭ analyzing‬‭ real-time‬‭ network‬‭ conditions,‬‭ which‬‭ significantly‬‭ minimizes‬‭ risks.‬‭ Manual‬‭ staking‬‭ requires‬‭ constant‬‭ oversight,‬‭ while‬‭ these‬‭ agents‬‭ adjust‬‭ strategies‬‭ autonomously‬‭ to‬‭ maintain‬‭ efficiency.‬‭ Also,‬‭ in‬‭ managing‬‭ DAOs,‬‭ AI‬‭ agents‬‭ can‬‭ automate‬‭ tasks‬‭ such‬‭ as‬‭ fund‬‭ allocation,‬‭ proposal‬‭ voting,‬‭ and‬‭ governance‬‭ monitoring.‬‭ This‬‭ real-time‬‭ automation‬‭ eliminates‬‭ bottlenecks,‬‭ creating‬‭ a‬‭ more viable scope for swift and unbiased decision-making,” he added.

The advancements that AI agents have made in the cryptocurrency sector alone illustrate their potential in other industries.

AI Agent Impact Will Be Far-Reaching

According to MarketsandMarkets data, the global AI agent market is forecast to grow from $5.1 billion in 2024 to $47.1 billion by 2030, with a projected 45% compound annual growth rate.

The need for automation and efficiency in sectors like healthcare, finance, and customer service will particularly fuel this surge in growth.

“By‬‭ 2027,‬‭ Deloitte‬‭ predicts‬‭ that‬‭ half‬‭ of‬‭ companies‬‭ that‬‭ use‬‭ generative‬‭ AI‬‭ will‬‭ have‬‭ launched‬‭ agentic‬‭ AI‬‭ pilots‬‭ or‬‭ proofs‬‭ of‬‭ concept‬‭ that‬‭ will‬‭ be‬‭ capable‬‭ of‬‭ acting‬‭ as‬‭ smart‬‭ assistants,‬‭ performing‬‭ complex‬‭ tasks‬‭ with‬‭ minimal‬‭ human‬‭ supervision.‬‭ Jensen‬‭ Huang‬‭ recently‬‭ stated‬‭ that‬‭ ‘the‬‭ IT‬‭ department‬‭ of‬‭ every‬‭ company‬‭ is‬‭ going‬‭ to‬‭ be‬‭ the‬‭ HR‬‭ department‬‭ of‬‭ AI‬‭ agents‬‭ in‬‭ the‬‭ future’‬‭ and‬‭ that‬‭ ‘AI‬‭ Agents‬‭ are‬‭ a‬‭ multi-trillion‬‭ dollar‬‭ opportunity’.‬‭ Agents‬‭ are‬‭ here,‬‭ and‬‭ they‬‭ aren’t‬‭ slowing down,” Bodkin stated.

Heinrich gave a similar answer:

“In‬‭ healthcare,‬‭ decentralized‬‭ AI‬‭ can‬‭ securely‬‭ manage‬‭ patient‬‭ data,‬‭ ensuring‬‭ privacy‬‭ and‬‭ compliance‬‭ with‬‭ regulations.‬‭ In‬‭ finance,‬‭ AI‬‭ agents‬‭ can‬‭ execute‬‭ smart‬‭ contracts‬‭ for‬‭ trading‬‭ and‬‭ risk‬‭ management,‬‭ enhancing‬‭ transparency‬‭ and‬‭ efficiency.‬‭ Supply‬‭ chain‬‭ management‬‭ can‬‭ benefit‬‭ from‬‭ AI‬‭ agents‬‭ that‬‭ track‬‭ products‬‭ in‬‭ real-time,‬‭ ensuring‬‭ authenticity‬‭ and‬‭ reducing‬‭ fraud.‬‭ These‬‭ sectors,‬‭ characterized‬‭ by‬‭ their‬‭ longevity‬‭ and‬‭ resilience‬‭ against‬‭ market‬‭ volatility,‬‭ stand‬‭ to‬‭ gain substantial benefits from integrating AI agents on robust AI L1 infrastructure,” he said.

For Wang, on the other hand, AI agents will have a deep impact on the gaming industry. He expects their influence to be transformative.

“On‬‭ one‬‭ hand,‬‭ on‬‭ the‬‭ production‬‭ side,‬‭ the‬‭ emergence‬‭ of‬‭ AI‬‭ agents‬‭ allows‬‭ more‬‭ independent‬‭ games‬‭ to‬‭ produce‬‭ extremely high-quality products with just a good idea.‬‭ On‬‭ the‬‭ other‬‭ hand,‬‭ on‬‭ the‬‭ consumer‬‭ side,‬‭ AI‬‭ agents‬‭ will‬‭ greatly‬‭ change‬‭ the‬‭ future‬‭ of gaming.‬‭ The‬‭ interaction‬‭ between‬‭ AI‬‭ and‬‭ AI,‬‭ and‬‭ between‬‭ humans‬‭ and‬‭ AI,‬‭ will‬‭ become‬‭ mainstream for future games,” Wang told BeInCrypto.

However, the effect of AI agents on the job market will also present a series of opportunities.

The Rise of New Opportunities

While job displacement is inevitable amid the rise of autonomous technologies, some experts believe AI agents will create new jobs and increase demand for specific skills.

“AI‬‭ creates‬‭ a‬‭ number‬‭ of‬‭ new‬‭ jobs,‬‭ in‬‭ turn,‬‭ and,‬‭ with‬‭ the‬‭ evolution‬‭ of‬‭ AI‬‭ agents,‬‭ we‬‭ would‬ ‭ have‬‭ even‬‭ more.‬‭ Roles‬‭ in‬‭ building,‬‭ maintaining,‬‭ and‬‭ optimizing‬‭ AI-driven‬‭ frameworks‬‭ will‬‭ become‬‭ more‬‭ and‬‭ more‬‭ in-demand.‬‭ As‬‭ well‬‭ as‬‭ positions,‬‭ ensuring‬‭ transparency‬‭ and‬‭ ethical‬‭ alignment‬‭ of‬‭ AI‬‭ systems.‬‭ In‬‭ my‬‭ opinion‬‭ the‬‭ most‬‭ important‬‭ job‬‭ in‬‭ AI‬‭ would‬‭ be‬‭ community‬‭ engagement‬‭ roles,‬‭ focused‬‭ on‬‭ fostering‬‭ community‬‭ participation‬‭ and‬‭ integrating feedback into AI decision-making processes,” said Shadid.

To that, Bodkin added:

“While‬‭ AI‬‭ agents‬‭ will‬‭ undoubtedly‬‭ disrupt‬‭ certain‬‭ job‬‭ categories,‬‭ they‬‭ will‬‭ also‬‭ create‬‭ a‬‭ wide‬‭ range‬‭ of‬‭ new‬‭ opportunities.‬‭ The‬‭ demand‬‭ for‬‭ skilled‬‭ professionals‬‭ to‬‭ build‬‭ as‬‭ well‬‭ as‬‭ manage‬‭ AI‬‭ systems‬‭ will‬‭ increase.‬‭ This‬‭ includes‬‭ roles‬‭ in‬‭ AI‬‭ development,‬‭ cybersecurity,‬‭ ethical‬‭ oversight,‬‭ and‬‭ governance.‬‭ The‬‭ rise‬‭ of‬‭ AI‬‭ agents‬‭ is‬‭ not‬‭ just‬‭ a‬‭ technological‬‭ shift;‬‭ it’s‬‭ a‬‭ transformation‬‭ in‬‭ how‬‭ we‬‭ conceptualize work and human-machine collaboration.”

Regardless, responsible use of AI agents and preparing workers for their impact will be crucial as these technologies transform workplaces across industries.

AI Agent Deployment Will Require Careful Risk Management

The development of artificial intelligence technologies is concentrated in the hands of a handful of corporations. Major players include Anthropic, Google DeepMind, IBM, Microsoft, and OpenAI.

“As‬‭ AI‬‭ agents‬‭ get‬‭ more‬‭ powerful‬‭ it’s‬‭ important‬‭ that‬‭ we‬‭ don’t‬‭ have‬‭ a‬‭ concentration‬‭ of‬‭ power‬‭ and‬‭ control‬‭ over‬‭ them‬‭ and‬‭ we‬‭ have‬‭ community‬‭ governance‬‭ with‬‭ proper‬‭ incentives for agents.‬ If‬‭ monopolies‬‭ or‬‭ large‬‭ corporations‬‭ dominate‬‭ AI‬‭ development,‬‭ this‬‭ could‬‭ exacerbate‬‭ inequality.‬‭ That’s‬‭ why‬‭ we‬‭ advocate‬‭ for‬‭ decentralization—empowering‬‭ individuals and communities with control over the technology,” said Bodkin.

Industry experts also pointed to data privacy and user security as other factors.

“‬‭Transparency‬‭ and‬‭ accountability‬‭ are‬‭ key‬‭ when‬‭ adopting‬‭ AI‬‭ agents.‬‭ It’s‬‭ essential‬ ‭ to‬‭ address‬‭ bias‬‭ in‬‭ AI‬‭ decisions‬‭ and‬‭ ensure‬‭ user‬‭ privacy‬‭ and‬‭ data‬‭ security.‬ ‭ Developers‬‭ should‬‭ be‬‭ implementing‬‭ robust‬‭ security‬‭ measures‬‭ to‬‭ protect‬‭ end‬‭ users‬‭ and‬‭ maintain‬‭ trust.‬‭ And‬‭ users‬‭ should‬‭ keep‬‭ in‬‭ mind‬‭ that‬‭ AI‬‭ isn’t‬‭ perfect‬‭ yet‬‭ and it should always be double checked or disclosed,” Dalal explained.

There are also steps businesses can start taking now to make the transition easier.

“‬‭Start experimenting now. Use AI more, participate more in the construction of AI,” Wang said.

According to Bodkin, offering resources to employees would also simplify the process. 

“By‬‭ adopting‬‭ AI‬‭ early,‬‭ businesses‬‭ and‬‭ individuals‬‭ can‬‭ stay‬‭ competitive‬‭ while‬‭ ensuring‬‭ the‬‭ workforce‬‭ is‬‭ prepared‬‭ for‬‭ the‬‭ changes‬‭ ahead.‬‭ This‬‭ means‬‭ investing‬‭ in‬‭ training‬‭ programs‬‭ and‬‭ even‬‭ restructuring‬‭ jobs‬‭ to‬‭ complement‬‭ AI‬‭ capabilities.‬‭ This‬‭ way,‬‭ you‬‭ promote‬‭ a‬‭ culture‬‭ of‬‭ innovation‬‭ that‬‭ allows‬‭ individuals‬‭ to‬‭ adapt‬‭ to‬‭ new‬‭ roles.‬‭ The‬‭ key‬‭ will‬‭ be‬‭ collaboration‬‭ to‬‭ ensure‬‭ a‬‭ smooth‬‭ transition‬‭ to‬‭ an‬‭ AI-augmented workforce,” he said.

Shadid agreed with that point and added:

“‬Including‬‭ AI‬‭ in‬‭ your‬‭ work‬‭ is‬‭ the‬‭ first‬‭ step‬‭ towards‬‭ being‬‭ ready‬‭ for‬‭ the‬‭ change.‬‭ A‬‭ big‬‭ part‬‭ of‬‭ the‬‭ job‬‭ market‬‭ will‬‭ require‬‭ candidates‬‭ to‬‭ be‬‭ at‬‭ least‬‭ familiar‬‭ with‬‭ it,‬‭ if‬‭ not‬‭ well-versed.‬‭ Businesses‬‭ can‬‭ explore‬‭ frameworks‬‭ for‬‭ automation‬‭ to‬‭ stay‬‭ agile‬‭ and‬‭ adaptive.”

AI agents will undoubtedly transform the workplace, but their responsible development and deployment are crucial.

“It’s‬‭ time‬‭ for‬‭ us‬‭ to‬‭ shift‬‭ away‬‭ from‬‭ opaque‬‭ systems‬‭ and‬‭ adopt‬‭ technology‬‭ that prioritizes both ethics and progress,” Heinrich concluded.

Collaboration between stakeholders will be paramount to ensure a smooth and equitable transition to an AI-augmented workforce.

Will XRP Break Support and Drop Below $2?

Published

on


XRP is down 5% over the past week, struggling to regain momentum as technical indicators flash mixed signals. Its Relative Strength Index (RSI) has dropped below 50, and the price remains stuck within a tight range between key support and resistance levels.

At the same time, the Ichimoku Cloud has shifted from green to red, with a thickening cloud ahead suggesting growing bearish pressure. With volatility compressing and momentum fading, XRP is nearing a critical point where a breakout—or breakdown—seems increasingly likely.

XRP Struggles to Regain Momentum as RSI Drops Below 50

XRP’s Relative Strength Index (RSI) is currently sitting at 44.54, after recovering from an intraday low of 40.67. Just yesterday, it was at 51.30, highlighting increased short-term volatility.

RSI is a momentum indicator that measures the speed and magnitude of recent price changes to evaluate overbought or oversold conditions.

Readings above 70 typically suggest an asset is overbought, while readings below 30 indicate it may be oversold.

With XRP’s RSI at 44.54, it’s currently in neutral territory, showing neither strong buying nor selling pressure.

However, the fact that it hasn’t crossed the overbought threshold of 70 since March 19—over a month ago—signals a lack of sustained bullish momentum. This could mean XRP is still in a consolidation phase, with the market waiting for a clearer direction.

If RSI continues to climb toward 50 and beyond, it may hint at building momentum, but without a breakout above 70, upside could remain limited.

XRP Faces Uncertainty as Bearish Trend Begins to Expand

XRP is currently trading inside the Ichimoku Cloud, signaling market indecision and a neutral trend.

The Tenkan-sen (blue line) has crossed below the Kijun-sen (red line), which is a bearish signal, but with the price still within the cloud, it lacks full confirmation.

The cloud itself acts as a zone of support and resistance, and XRP is now moving sideways within that zone.

Looking ahead, the cloud has shifted from green to red—a sign that bearish momentum may be building. Even more concerning is that the red cloud is widening, which suggests increasing downward pressure in the near future.

A thickening red Kumo often signals stronger resistance overhead and a potential continuation of a bearish trend if the price breaks below the cloud.

Until XRP breaks out decisively in either direction, the market remains in a wait-and-see phase, but the growing red cloud tilts the bias toward caution.

XRP Compression Zone: A Breakout Could Send Price to $2.50 — Or Much Lower

XRP price is currently trading within a tight range, caught between a key support level at $2.05 and resistance at $2.09. This narrow channel reflects short-term uncertainty, but a decisive move in either direction could set the tone for what’s next.

If the $2.05 support fails, the next level to watch is $1.96. A break below that could trigger a steep drop toward $1.61, which would mark the first close below $1.70 since November 2024—a bearish signal that could accelerate selling pressure.

Recently, veteran analyst Peter Brandt warned that a major correction could hit XRP soon.

On the flip side, if bulls regain control and push XRP above the $2.09 resistance, the next target lies at $2.17. A breakout beyond that could open the door to a move toward $2.50, a price level not seen since March 19.

For that to happen, XRP would need a clear resurgence in momentum and buying volume.

Until then, the price remains trapped in a narrow zone, with both upside and downside potential on the table.
