EIGEN dispara 33% em um dia após hype de agentes de IA

O token EIGEN explodiu hoje com ganhos impressionantes de 33% em apenas 24 horas, alimentado pelo frenesi em torno de agentes de inteligência artificial no ecossistema cripto.

Frenesi dos agentes de IA

O mercado reagiu com voracidade às notícias sobre integração de IA, demonstrando mais uma vez como narratives tecnológicas podem mover preços de forma dramática—enquanto os traders tradicionais ainda tentam entender o que é um agente autônomo.

Momentum sustentável ou bomba relógio?

Os volumes de negociação quadruplicaram durante a rally, com investidores pulando na onda de otimismo—porque nada diz 'confiança' como FOMO puro alimentado por jargões de tecnologia que ninguém realmente entende.

O setor de criptomoedas continua provando que, enquanto Wall Street debate P/E ratios, nós estamos lucrando com a próxima revolução—mesmo que às vezes pareça mais um cassino com jargões high-tech.

EIGEN open interest also jumped to over $130M, the highest level in the past six months. The token still has limited positions on Hyperliquid, with just nine whales betting on its direction. Five of those positions are shorting EIGEN, and are carrying unrealized losses after the recent breakout.

Eigen Cloud rallied after becoming part of Google’s AI agent payment initiative. As Cryptopolitan previously reported, Google opened a toolset for safe, verifiable payments coming directly from AI agents. 

Google’s AP2 protocol included Eigen as a platform for safe, verified transactions originating with AI agents. 

We’re excited to be a launch partner for @GoogleCloud‘s new Agent Payments Protocol (AP2), a standard that gives AI agents the ability to transact with trust and accountability.

At EigenCloud, our focus is on verifiability.

The new use case for Eigen arrives as older Web3 and DeFi projects seek to pivot to new use cases. Other AP2 partners from the crypto space include Coinbase and the Ethereum Foundation. Most of the payment and e-commerce platforms offer fiat handling, while Eigen’s verifiable transaction data target crypto payments and transfers.

The market for AI agent transactions is estimated at over $27B, based on e-commerce transfers. The AI agent market outside crypto expects to be valued at $7.84B, with over 46% in annual growth, with demand for intricate multi-step tasks. The inclusion of payments and e-commerce interactions are part of the projected growth.

Is the EIGEN rally sustainable?

EIGEN has been expecting a breakout, based on the overall inflows into altcoins. The project got a boost from the A16Z fund, injecting another $70M during the rebranding to Eigen Cloud. 

The token also has relatively small linear unlocks until 2027, calming the fears of ongoing dilution. Fundamental factors may also boost the project with real activity growth. 

EIGEN also benefits from the positive performance of ETH, holding above the $4,500 range. The project still holds over $19B in liquid staking, remaining a key part of the Ethereum DeFi ecosystem. 

Are AI agents making a comeback?

The AI agent narrative slowed down in 2025, with most agentic tokens crashing. However, Virtuals Protocol remains one of the robust ecosystems. Based on recent Messari data, Virtuals Protocol still carries $500M in AI token value. 

The agentic economy also crosses over into DeFi, experimenting with agent-to-agent transactions. Until recently, agentic actions were facilitated by humans, but demand for direct on-chain activity may boost the usage of data layer protocols and other verification tools.
