Each Generation Z cryptocurrency trader increasingly relying on artificial intelligence for trading decisions, according to MEXC Research.
In the ever-evolving world of cryptocurrency trading, the MEXC exchange is leading the charge towards a future where Artificial Intelligence (AI) plays a pivotal role.
A recent trend on MEXC reveals that an impressive 67% of Gen Z crypto traders are actively employing AI-powered trading bots. This makes Gen Z the foremost adopters of AI in crypto trading, as of mid-2025. These young traders, aged between 18 and 27, engage AI tools on average 11.4 days per month—more than twice as often as traders over 30—and account for 60% of all AI bot activations on MEXC.
The preference for AI among Gen Z traders is not blind automation but a strategic, tactical approach. They primarily activate their AI bots during periods of high market volatility or news spikes, with about 73% switching them on in such conditions and disabling them during calmer markets. This strategic use reflects a sophisticated approach rather than passive reliance on AI.
The impact of AI on trading behaviour among Gen Z is significant. AI users in this demographic experience 47% fewer panic-selling events during stressful market periods compared to manual traders, indicating AI's role in emotional control and risk management.
Looking ahead, MEXC projects that by 2028, over 80% of Gen Z traders will rely on AI for full-cycle portfolio management. This includes dynamic rebalancing and tax automation, reflecting the increasing integration of AI beyond just trade execution.
This trend is consistent with broader industry trends where AI crypto trading solutions are expanding rapidly. The global AI in cryptocurrency market is expected to exceed $2.2 billion by the end of 2025, growing at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of over 28%.
MEXC's leadership recognises AI's transformative potential not only in trading but across the crypto ecosystem. This includes investment, audits, and marketing workflows.
Founded in 2018, MEXC serves over 40 million users across 170+ countries. For more information about MEXC, visit the MEXC Website or contact MEXC Media Centre at [email protected].
However, it's important to note that AI systems can be undermined by black swan events, algorithmic bias, or opaque models. As with any investment, it's crucial to do your research and invest at your own risk.
The future of AI in the crypto trading industry is promising, with the global AI trading platform industry projected to grow at a CAGR of over 20%, reaching $69.96 billion by 2034. Gen Z on MEXC is driving the trend towards AI-powered, tactical, emotion-regulated crypto trading, with expectations that AI's role will deepen significantly in the next few years.
