With the new service, Bitrue customers will be able to hand over a portion of their investments to one of the world’s leading AI and allow the large language models to invest funds for them.
“The intersectionality between crypto and AI is already exploding over the last year with a vibrant sector of AI coins already on the market — now Bitrue is expanding usability by integrating world-class AI directly into our features and making it freely available to our customers,” said Chief Marketing Officer Adam O’Neill.
Users are able to pick between GPT-5, Gemini 2.5 Pro, Claude Sonnet 4.5, Grok 4, DeepSeek v3.1 and Qwen3-Max to manage their portfolio. According to the company, the LLM of choice will orchestrate real trades on behalf of the user with an aim to maximize profitability.
Researchers and experts have experimented with AI models for stock trading — crafting specialized prompts, using agentic processes and analyzing outcomes — but results have been mixed. Experiments by Ezgi Arslan, Ph.D., showed that GPT-5 and Gemini 2.5 Pro performed most effectively, with 74% and 71% success rates, respectively.
Crypto markets face similar macroeconomic winds as equities, yet have their own particular, and peculiar, behaviors influenced by numerous variables. It’s no surprise that a company might want to tap the capabilities of generative AI to see how these models behave in an environment as volatile as cryptocurrency trading.
Experiments run by Nof1, a company training foundation AI models on financial data, ran an experiment with multiple LLMs in cryptocurrency markets to better understand behavioral quirks in live finance situations. The results have given fodder for inspiration on the use of AI models for cryptocurrency trading.
“As an exchange, we need to be on the cutting-edge of technology in all aspects in order to earn the trust of our userbase,” added O’Neill. “This increasingly comes not just from the development of financial tools, but also from wider technological developments such as AI.”
Pre-registration to use the LLMs is currently available, allowing users to specify the model they want to effect trades. The capability will come online Thursday.
The emergence of AI traders coincides with heightened scrutiny from financial regulators regarding automated systems in financial markets. Agencies such as the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission have raised questions about model explainability, potential market manipulation risks and the need for strong guardrails — even as they stop short of creating dedicated rules for LLM-powered trading strategies.
Out of the more than 500 firms polled in a Broadridge Financial Services survey in April, 86% reported plans to increase AI investments over the next two years.
Bitrue said it intends to monitor the results closely and will potentially integrate additional models over time, depending on user feedback. Bitrue already uses AI internally to analyze large datasets and form recommendations about new crypto projects and tokens seeking listings.
