AI: Augmenting Trading Beyond Human Capabilities

AI today reads faster, analyzes deeper, and synthesizes more accurately than humans – and the AI of tomorrow will surpass even today’s best systems. We have entered an era where artificial intelligence can process immense amounts of data and extract insights in real time, far beyond the capacity of any individual. AI constitutes paradigm shift, not just a technological upgrade, as essential as switching from horses to automobiles. From a luxury, AI crypto trading is becoming a necessity.

Crypto and AI might seem an odd pair at first, but they are deeply interconnected – much like finance and computing have always been. In fact, modern “AI” has roots in World War II, when Alan Turing’s early computation helped decode cryptographic messages. Today, history rhymes: Edgen’s AI works to decode the complexity of crypto markets.

The convergence of blockchain and AI means we can monitor the entire crypto universe (on-chain activity and social feeds) in real time, and have large language models (LLMs) summarize and analyze it for us. Some might ask whether “AI + crypto” is a solution looking for a problem. Edgen answers firmly: no.

The problem is very clear: information overload.

And the solution is equally clear: an AI that tirelessly reads everything, filters out the noise, and surfaces actionable intelligence.

We stand at a turning point in financial history. Markets have become too fast and complex for unaided humans to keep up and navigate effectively. DeFi was supposed to make finance more accessible, but it’s still overwhelmingly complex for many – AI can help abstract away that complexity.

In today’s markets, traders must leverage AI or risk irrelevance. It’s not sci-fi; it’s the same trend we’ve seen in traditional markets: more than half of U.S. equity trading volume is now executed by algorithms​ (source: Investopedia), and in some markets (like Forex) over 90% of trades are performed by automated systems​. Machines simply react faster and digest more data – a single high-frequency trading algorithm can execute orders in milliseconds or microseconds​, a speed at which human reaction is impossible. In terms of predictive prowess, AI is proving its mettle: a recent study showed an AI model could predict financial performance with about 60% accuracy, versus ~55% for human experts​ (source: Money). That edge, even a few percentage points, is huge in trading.

Crucially, Edgen’s vision is to harness AI to augment humans, not replace them – combining machine precision with human judgment. We believe the best results come from AI and traders working together: the AI never sleeps, never skips a beat in reading the data; the human sets the strategy, asks the right questions, and applies intuition. By uniting crypto data, social sentiment, and AI analysis, Edgen aims to make collective market intelligence accessible to all. Omit any one of those facets, and you’re flying half-blind. With Edgen, no angle is missed. It’s the ultimate assistive technology for the modern trader – a “bicycle for the trading mind,” as Steve Jobs might say it, allowing us to go farther and faster than we ever could on foot.

In short, Edgen represents the inevitable future of trading: an AI-powered ally that significantly amplifies human potential, turning ordinary traders into smart money.
