Artificial intelligence (AI) models ChatGPT, Grok, DeepSeek, Claude, o1 and Gemini are trading bitcoin (BTC) and cryptocurrencies, competing in a real investment environment, with USD 10,000 allocated to each.
The experiment, called Alpha Arena, started on October 17, seeks to measure the ability of these AIs to operate in open, dynamic markets without human intervention.
According to the most recent results, DeepSeek leads the competition with a total account value of $13,569followed by Grok, with USD 13,100. Both models show an increase of more than 30% compared to the initial capital. In third place is Claude, with USD 12,344, while Gemini maintains USD 10,717, close to the starting point.
Below the average are ChatGPT, with USD 7,195, and o1, with USD 6,715, both strategies with short positions that failed to sustain themselves in the face of the general market rally recorded on October 19.
The following graph shows the performance of the trading of bitcoin, ether, solana, BNB, DOGE and XRP of the different AIs:
Alpha Arena executes real trades with real-time market data and identical conditions for all models. Their goal, according to the developers, is to turn artificial intelligence benchmarks into “more real-world” scenarios, where unpredictability and constant competition act as tests of adaptive intelligence.
Analyst @0xGumshoe commented that the event “is going viral” and highlighted that Grok and DeepSeek “made the longest run” and took better advantage of the bitcoin rally.
Other participants, such as user @Cryptomaniac, noted that this type of testing could change the way traders choose their tools: “In the future, the skill “It will be knowing which AI will trade for you.”
The experiment remains active, becoming one of the first public trials on artificial intelligence applied to real financial trading.
CriptoNoticias reported last July that generation Z, which includes young people born between 1997 and 2007, are increasingly betting on artificial intelligence as a central tool for making decisions when trading.
