MEXC AI Trading Report Reveals 85% of Crypto Traders Use AI, But Most Limit Its Control Over Funds
MEXC’s survey of 3,708 crypto traders found that 84.8% had used AI for digital-asset analysis or trading in the prior six months, mostly for pre-trade research rather than execution. Although 65.9% said AI recommendations sometimes led them to place orders or adjust positions, respondents were more likely to report improved research than execution. Willingness to delegate trading rose from 55% to 71.8% when strict limits and automatic loss stops were included, but 54% would authorize AI to use no more than 20% of account assets. Hacken’s analysis warns that withdrawal restrictions alone do not prevent trading losses and recommends independent limits on orders, exposure and permissions. Respondents broadly supported at least one mandatory safety standard.
