How AI Is Quietly Reshaping Crypto Trading

[tradelikepro]

Artificial intelligence is becoming deeply embedded in crypto trading, transforming how analysis, execution, and monitoring are done. Rather than replacing traders outright, AI is absorbing the data-heavy work that once consumed most human bandwidth, allowing firms to operate faster and more efficiently. Humans still define strategies, set risk limits, and remain accountable for outcomes—but machines now handle much of the repetitive research and market surveillance.

This shift is already redefining roles across trading firms. As Ryan Li, co-founder of Surf AI, put it, AI is replacing “the 80% that nobody actually wants to do,” enabling top researchers to dramatically increase output. The result is leaner teams, fewer junior research roles, and greater emphasis on human judgment where it matters most.
