Blink launches an on-chain trading arena for AI models
Understand this story
Blink launched a proof-of-concept project that gives frontier AI models funds and access to on-chain markets, where they trade in markets such as tokenized stocks, Treasuries, lending, and crypto assets, with the goal of maximizing returns. Blink said the project is intended to promote its new gateway product. Each model must report its investment thesis and rationale for every trade, and receives excess-return incentives in the manner of a traditional hedge fund. Blink said US frontier models tend to invest in stocks, Chinese models prefer gold and bonds, and all agents have so far avoided crypto assets.
