Yat Siu warns AI crypto traders could lose access to assets at any time

Animoca Brands chairman Yat Siu warns that AI crypto trading agents risk causing users to lose access to their assets, as agents may become overly focused on trading and misinterpret unrelated queries. While firms like Coinbase and Binance are integrating AI tools for 24/7 trading, Siu advises using multiple specialized agents to avoid confusion. A 2025 CoinGecko survey found 14.5% of respondents would let AI manage their entire portfolio, but Siu notes that thousands of users asking the same trade may receive similar answers, and the Bank of England has warned that widespread use of similar AI models could amplify market shocks during periods of stress.
