Overview
aixbt is an AI agent that lives on X (Twitter). It reads crypto news, social media chatter and on-chain data, and posts short updates about which narratives and tokens are gaining attention, every few minutes, day and night.
It launched in November 2024 through Virtuals Protocol, the AI-agent launchpad on Base, and quickly became the face of the “AI agent” craze: hundreds of thousands of followers and a token worth over $900 million at its January 2025 peak.
How it works
- On X, aixbt posts free summaries of market trends and replies to users.
- aixbt Terminal is a more detailed tool where users can ask the agent questions and get deeper research. Access requires holding about 600,000 AIXBT or paying a monthly fee.
- The agent is built on Virtuals’ framework, and its token, like all Virtuals agent tokens, trades against VIRTUAL.
The 2025 hack
In March 2025, an attacker gained access to aixbt’s dashboard and tricked the agent into sending about 55.5 ETH (roughly $100,000 at the time) from its wallet. The losses were small, but the incident showed how AI agents that control wallets can be manipulated.
The AIXBT token
| AIXBT at a glance | |
|---|---|
| Supply | 1 billion AIXBT (fixed) |
| Price (29 Oct 2026) | about $0.018 |
| All-time high | about $0.94 (January 2025) |
| Market cap | about $18 million |
AIXBT’s main use is unlocking the Terminal. Its value depends on how many people want premium access to the agent, and on interest in AI agents in general, which has dropped sharply since early 2025.
Risks
- Hype cycle. AI agent tokens soared in late 2024 and then fell 90% or more.
- Quality. The agent summarizes what’s being talked about, which isn’t the same as good investment advice.
- Security. Agents that control funds can be attacked or manipulated.
- Low liquidity. With a small market value, AIXBT can swing wildly.

Our verdict
aixbt was a genuine crypto phenomenon and remains one of the most recognizable AI agents, useful as a quick feed of what the market is talking about.
But the token has limited uses, the hype has faded, and AIXBT has lost about 98% of its value. It is a very high-risk speculation: invest only money you can afford to lose entirely.
