In a bold experiment, researchers allocated $10,000 to several leading AI models and set them loose to trade on a real cryptocurrency exchange. From October 18 to October 27, 2025, the Chinese-built DeepSeek model stole the show, doubling its initial deposit to an impressive $20,000. The AI proved itself a true "Wolf of Wall Street," dominating the volatile crypto market with remarkable precision.
Other models showed mixed results. Anthropic’s Claude Sonnet 4.5 and xAI’s Grok 4 posted modest gains, reaching $12,200 and $11,000, respectively. Meanwhile, Google’s Gemini 2.5 Pro and OpenAI’s GPT-5 suffered heavy losses, each plummeting nearly 60% to a mere $4,000.
