Mutsamudu, Comoros, October 16, 2026 — MEXC, a global cryptocurrency exchange, released its AI Trading Report, based on a survey of 3,708 crypto traders. The report examines how respondents use AI, how much trading authority they would delegate, and what protective measures they expect from platforms. Blockchain security firm Hacken contributed technical analysis of risks associated with AI agent trading and the controls designed to address them. Key takeaways: 84.8% of surveyed crypto users have used AI for research or trading. While 58.3% report improved market research, 46% also report better trade execution, though 54% have yet to see improvement at the execution stage. Interest in AI agents is already significant: half of respondents are interested in AI agents but have not tried them. 65.9% of AI users act on its advice at least sometimes; only 20% have tried execution without approving each trade. 54% would let AI trade with some funds, but no more than 20% of their account; only 6.5% would authorize more than half. Half of users with automated execution experience worry they could fail to detect or stop problems in time. Willingness to use automated trading grows from 55% under the baseline scenario to 71.8% when limits on funds, positions, leverage and losses are added. 95.5% support at least one mandatory protective measure, even as many want control over their own settings. The report found that 84.8% of respondents had used AI to analyze or trade digital assets in the previous six months, with 53.1% using it at least weekly. Adoption was higher among younger participants: 88.5% of respondents aged 18–34 had used AI, compared with 69.9% of those aged 45 and older.
