AI Agent tokens see strong momentum this week, marking another bullish cycle for the sector. The aggregated market valuation for AI-powered agents hit $1.23T, reflecting sustained investor confidence in autonomous intelligence solutions. On-chain activity metrics paint an even more interesting picture—smart engagement tracking surged to 2.79K, signaling intensified trading volume and ecosystem participation across major platforms.

This week's performance underscores the broader narrative around agent-based infrastructure, as developers continue shipping new features and integrations. The combination of expanding market cap and elevated engagement levels suggests retail and institutional players alike are closely monitoring this segment. Whether this momentum holds through month-end will be crucial for validating long-term growth trajectories in the AI agents space.

Looking at this number 1.23T, it feels like the night before another round of cutting leeks haha

1.23T? Laughable, this number is purely imaginary, the actual trading volume can't support it at all. --- Agent's fire is indeed fierce, but I bet there will be a correction before the end of the month; this wave is too fast. --- It's the same old story... institutions are deploying, retail investors are chasing the trend, and in the end, it's still the same old trick of cutting leeks. --- Engagement of 2.79K isn't much; just look at the real on-chain transfers to see how much water there really is. --- Will we see the end of the month? Not yet; I don't think this bull market will last until the end of the year. --- $1.23T looks good on paper, but can it be cashed out for real money? Question mark. --- Here comes another pitch to invest in agents; I'll just watch and see if this wave can last. --- Developers shipping features, investors shipping money... eventually, it will all have to be paid back.

ngl, $1.23T valuation feels like theater when you actually run the numbers on per-transaction costs. technically speaking, that 2.79K engagement spike means nothing if the mempool's clogged with inefficient agent calls—half those txs are probably wasteful af

1.23T, this little flower has finally bloomed with some momentum, but I always feel I have to wait until the end of the month to judge whether it's truly awesome or just an illusion~

AI agent is hyping again. 1.23T, give me a break. Let's see if it can hold until the end of the month.

1.23T? That's a bit inflated. How is this number calculated... --- The agent track is back, but it still feels like the usual money-grabbing scheme. --- On-chain data looks good, but where is the real demand? --- The key is whether you can hold until the end of the month. It's still early to say anything now. --- Another hype cycle. Let's wait and see if it can be realized.
