Recent discussions about the AI revolution have sparked a lot of reflection within the crypto community. Interestingly, many are still debating sci-fi scenarios "beyond 2030," but on-chain, a real-world transformation has already been underway—and at a much faster pace than expected.

Let's look at some data: by the end of 2025, 68% of on-chain DEX trading volume will be handled by AI-powered quantitative bots, with these strategies maintaining an annualized return of around 42%. In other words, the era of traditional traders relying on candlestick charts and indicator research has long since ended.

The impact extends far beyond trading. Basic tasks like project analysis and sentiment monitoring are also being gradually taken over by AI systems. 24-hour on-chain data crawling and early warning systems now surpass human analysis teams in accuracy. This is not a threat of the future but the current reality.

However, there's a question worth pondering: in an era of transformation, choosing the right track is 100 times more important than mere operation. The application of AI technology doesn't necessarily mean opportunities are disappearing; instead, it depends on how we understand this wave of change and adjust our position in this new landscape. Some feel anxious, while others are re-planning their portfolio allocations.

The crypto market has always been known for rapid iteration. In this process, the speed of information acquisition and the depth of understanding market signals determine whether participants can keep up. AI is not the endpoint but a new starting point.

68% is taken over by robots? Then what are we artisans supposed to do? --- Choosing a track and adjusting positions again, easy to say, but few can really keep up with the rhythm. --- Annualized 42% stable returns? I feel like I’ve been operating in reverse all along. --- On-chain data is so transparent now, can information gaps still be exploited? --- I saw it coming a long time ago, but I still can't help but listen to my hands instead of my brain haha. --- Choosing the right track is really more important than anything else, a hundred times more crucial than technical operation skills. --- This time it’s not AI threats, just eliminating those who can’t keep up. --- 42%? I lost 42% last year, so it’s all about skill now. --- From anxiety to re-planning positions, it only takes a moment of change. --- Robots are already in the game, is there still a way out for retail investors? --- People who just realized this are already too late, really.

68% of trading volume is eaten by bots, and we're still here watching the K-line... LOL Reality is always faster than science fiction, right? Choosing the right track is indeed more important than trading itself, but the question is, how do we know we've chosen correctly? On-chain data crawlers are more accurate than humans, so what else can we do? Really. Maybe we should just give up and let AI make money for us.

68% of trading volume is taken over by bots, this number is a bit scary... but then again, we've long since needed to adapt to this pace --- Annualized 42% stable returns? I always feel like it's a pie in the sky... need to verify the data source --- Instead of worrying, it's better to take proactive action and find your place in the AI era --- Are traditional traders really going to become unemployed, or are they just changing their way of working --- On-chain data early warning accuracy surpasses manual analysis? Then what use do we human analysts have haha --- Choosing the right track > pure operation, no doubt about that, but what tracks can we choose now? --- Speed so fast it exceeds expectations... this means the next wave of transformation could be even more intense, we must remain vigilant --- A new pattern and a new starting point, sounds good, but how many can truly adjust their position well? --- Feels a bit optimistic in writing, will reality be this friendly? --- 24-hour early warning, zero errors... is there such a perfect system? Maybe a bit exaggerated

68% outsourced to robots? Ha, I'm still manually operating, and losing even faster. I really haven't kept up with the pace in choosing the right tracks; I just realized it's a bit late now. AI has taken over analysis—what should I do... should I just keep going all in? Robots have a stable annualized return of 42%. How does my skill compare... Wait, what does this mean? Which upcoming tracks can avoid AI competition? Really? Has it been like this on-chain for a long time? Why don't I feel it at all? Stop worrying. There's still a chance to buy the dip now.

68% of DEX trading volume is eaten up by bots... I see this as the new arms race --- Annualized 42% sounds great, but who can guarantee that the next round won't be robots mutually harvesting each other --- Basically, it's still information asymmetry and execution speed. Human analysis teams really need to transform --- New tracks, new tracks, always talking about new tracks. The key is how to choose --- This is the real gold rush, not the future but the present --- Feeling a bit anxious, brother. It seems traditional trading thinking is really outdated --- AI takeover isn't scary. What's scary is that you're still using 2024's mindset --- 42% annualized... assuming robots can truly deliver stably, what about retail investors? --- Choosing the right track is 100 times more important than operation? That sounds easy, but actually doing it is deadly --- It feels like DEX liquidity has been completely eaten up by quant strategies
