A very quiet but interesting change has recently been detected on-chain: AI agents have started to conduct on-chain commerce and asset trading directly. Specifically, trading volume for AI agents based on the x402 standard is continuing to see a noticeable increase, centered around the Solana ecosystem. While until now humans had to connect their wallets and sign transactions themselves, AI agents are now establishing themselves as independent trading entities. Haha.

Of course, this trend hasn't spread widely across multi-chains yet and is still in the early stages, concentrated in a few ecosystems. However, it's a noteworthy trend as it could signal a structural shift where AI goes beyond simple meme coin trading to lead on-chain economic activities. It will be interesting to see what kind of new liquidity these AI-specific trading standards will bring to the DeFi market ecosystem.
