DeFAI Valuation Soars to $2.7 Billion
If you have been following cryptocurrency and DeFi, you have almost certainly not missed the recent buzz surrounding DeFAI. DeFAI is currently the hottest topic in the crypto space, with its total market valuation growing at an astonishing pace.
CoinGecko officially launched the DeFAI category on January 7th. Since I first noticed its $660 million market valuation, the market cap of this sector has quadrupled to reach the current $2.7 billion.
The mission of DeFAI is to simplify traditional DeFi through AI technology (DeFAI = DeFi + AI), transforming it into a smarter, more user-friendly, and more efficient financial ecosystem.
While some tokens (such as $AIXBT) have already been released and have a market cap exceeding $600 million, many new tokens and projects in this sector remain out of the public eye. This article will delve into all the upcoming high-potential DeFAI tokens.
High-Potential DeFAI Projects
Wayfinder | @AIWayfinder
Wayfinder is an AI-based DeFi assistant chat tool designed to help users explore and navigate blockchain paths for the best experience, currently in a closed testing phase.
Developed by the @ParallelTCG team, Wayfinder not only supports simple transactions like cross-chain exchanges or lending but also includes a professional agent for deploying, editing, and auditing smart contracts.
Its ecosystem will be supported by two tokens, to be released soon:
· $PROMT: The native gas and utility token.
· $PRIME: The governance and staking token.
Through interacting with Wayfinder, users can get the opportunity for a $PROMT airdrop. The team plans to airdrop 1% of the total supply to early registrants in the first stage, while allocating 40% to users staking $PRIME.
Axal | @getaxal
Supported by @CMT_Digital, Axal is a DeFAI platform focused on building a verifiable agent network for a wide range of tasks.
The platform allows users to easily create smart Web3 systems by stating their intent, driving agent-based market solutions, all with zero counterparty risk.
Axal's flagship product, Autopilot, is an agent-driven trading platform designed to automate complex trading strategies. Recently, they also launched @Gekko_Agent, a DeFAI agent with a 1980s Wall Street style (a competitor to @aixbt_agent).
There is currently no token disclosure available.
Cod3x | @Cod3xOrg
Frankly, this is one of my most anticipated projects!
@Cod3xOrg is both a DeFi assistant—helping users manage on-chain funds through written prompts—and a platform to create a personalized AI agent without coding skills.
With its outstanding user experience, Cod3x not only makes DeFi more accessible but also popularizes personalized agents. These agents can be used for various purposes such as high-risk trading, tax management, dollar-cost averaging strategies, and more.
Their flagship product @BigTonyXBT is a DeFAI agent inspired by an Italian mafia style and is currently one of the most profitable agents on the market.

@slate_ceo supports 51+ protocols and 11 chains, enabling seamless DeFi transactions through natural language.
The product is live, but no information is currently available about the token.
Almanak | @Almanak__
Almanak is a permissionless end-to-end platform for building, testing, training, optimizing, and deploying autonomous financial agents.

The application is now live and in the testing phase, and the token has completed presale on @legiondotcc and will be officially launched soon.
HeyElsa | @HeyElsaAI
Yes, the last one is another DeFAI chatbot, but it offers some key differentiating features.
HeyElsa has provided a proprietary Large Language Model (LLM) that offers real-time market and sentiment insights across mainstream blockchains. Its key features include:
· Composable AI agent: Providing personalized insights, decision-making, and execution capabilities at minimal cost.

DeFAI: The Future and a $100 Billion Prediction
I am very bullish on DeFAI, and my confidence in it stems from the fact that DeFAI is the only way to truly bring DeFi to the masses.
Since the inception of DeFi, it has indeed opened up the financial sector to everyone, but using all the dApps, external wallets, and various chains is still quite complex. Thanks to DeFAI, I have introduced more friends to DeFi in the past year than I have in the last 3–4 years.
If you ask me to predict, I believe that by the end of 2025, DeFAI's market capitalization will reach $100 billion.

Bloomberg: As Bitcoin Weakens, Stablecoins and RWA Continue to Drive Expansion in Crypto Businesses
In June, Bloomberg reported that despite Bitcoin falling below $60,000 last week, wiping out about $235 billion in market value within seven days, and dropping close to 50% from last year’s peak, some core businesses in the crypto industry are still expanding, mainly in stablecoins, real-world asset tokenization (RWA), payments, and infrastructure. The report also noted that overall altcoin activity has contracted significantly: altcoin market capitalization has fallen from a peak of about $431 billion in November 2021 to around $170 billion, and among the tens of millions of tokens issued in recent years, fewer than 1,700 still maintain meaningful trading activity.

Japan to Assess a Framework for Yen Stablecoins and Crypto ETFs as Asia’s Compliant Payments Narrative Heats Up
Recently, according to the original report, Japan is considering the launch of yen stablecoins and cryptocurrency ETFs. Public information remains limited at this stage, and there is still no complete policy text, regulatory draft, or clear implementation timeline, so this is better characterized as a “policy discussion” rather than formal implementation. The original wording also noted that advancing stablecoin regulation in Asia is driving XRP usage and supporting growth in the XRPL ecosystem. However, based on currently available public information, there is not enough evidence to directly establish a clear causal relationship between this round of discussion in Japan and XRP or XRPL.
ZachXBT: Humanity private key leak and abnormal surge in H token should be viewed separately
On June 9, according to related disclosures, on-chain investigator ZachXBT posted an update on Humanity’s roughly $31 million security incident, saying that after further analyzing fund flows, he currently tends to believe the project team was not involved in an “inside job” or a self-staged attack. According to him, the official explanation about the private key leak was broadly accurate, but before the token unlock, the price of H had been artificially pushed higher, and the hacker later took advantage of that market environment; therefore, the private key leak and the earlier abnormal price pumping should be regarded as two separate and independent events. This reframing has shifted the market’s understanding of the nature of the incident. Earlier discussion around Humanity had focused on whether the team directly participated in the attack or used the security incident to cover up internal operations. ZachXBT’s latest remarks shift the focus from “whether it was self-theft” to “whether there were pre-unlock market structure issues.” He also questioned whether the team may have.
