Changpeng Zhao: AI Agents Should Be Valued for Utility, Not Tokens

In his opinion, the key factor for success is not the number of coins, but the real utility they can offer to users.
Zhao's statement comes amid a general decline in the cryptocurrency market. The capitalization of assets associated with AI agents has fallen by 61% - from $70.4 billion in December 2024 to $27 billion in March 2025, according to CoinMarketCap. This trend highlights the growing dissatisfaction of investors with speculative projects that focus on issuing tokens rather than solving real problems.
Changpeng Zhao expressed the opinion that launching a token only makes sense if there is a large-scale project that will really benefit users. “The focus should be on utility, not just creating new tokens,” he emphasized.
In February 2025, Sygnum Bank experts argued that cryptocurrencies associated with AI agents could become a new trend in the market, but at the moment they remain mostly speculative assets, as evidenced by their unstable capitalization.
