OrangeCat Web3 Focus|Why Web3 Needs AI Asset Management, Not AI Trading
TL;DR
AI trading has been fully stress tested by the market—and it has failed.

The main narrative of the last round of AI × Crypto almost revolved around AI trading.

Real funds
Automated strategies
Zero human intervention
Conceptually, very Web3-native.
But the reality is:
A market reversal is enough to cause almost all participating strategies to collapse.
