Editor's note: This article discusses the performance of the AI agent market, particularly its strong recovery across multiple sectors. It covers price surges in areas such as Swarm, App Store, development tools, launch platforms, investment DAOs, and DeFAI, along with underlying drivers. DeFAI remains the market leader, with top frameworks gaining wider adoption.
Below is the original content (slightly edited for readability):
AI agents are making a strong rebound—here’s an overview of the six strongest leading industries: The market experienced a massive sell-off following Trump’s announcement of tariffs, sparking panic over trade wars with Mexico, Canada, and China.
However, after last-minute negotiations between the U.S. and Mexico, fears have temporarily eased, with measures paused for 30 days.
In addition, Trump signed an executive order aiming to establish a U.S. sovereign wealth fund (which may signal diversification of investments into the cryptocurrency sector). David Sacks will hold a press conference on February 4 to detail the government’s stance on crypto and artificial intelligence.
The AI agent market has rapidly rebounded within the past 24 hours, with gains of 20%-70% across multiple sectors.
According to cookiedotfun data, the top six rising sectors are:
-
Swarm
-
App Store
-
Dev Tools
-
Launchpad
-
InvestmentDAO
-
DeFAI
Disclaimer: Many of these options have low liquidity, meaning they can drop sharply when declining and surge significantly when rising. Therefore, conduct your own research before considering any investment. Make sure to make your own decisions and avoid FOMO-driven trading.
