AI Agents in Crypto Trading: Grok Surpasses ChatGPT

Agentic trading activity powered by AI models is growing rapidly, with over two million transactions recorded through protocols like x402 and the Machine Payments Protocol (MPP) during late August to early September. Daily agentic-payment volume has reached up to $70,000 at its peak. According to Coinbase data analyzed via Artemis, Grok leads in notional trading volume with 25.31%, surpassing ChatGPT's 6.13%. Perplexity and Claude follow closely behind with shares of 21.61% and 8%, respectively. This shift reflects a significant change from the previous week when Perplexity led at 26.8%. Custom CLI and other interfaces remain dominant, accounting for nearly 40% of agentic trading volume as developers build tailored workflows rather than relying solely on consumer AI models.
