It emphasizes that DeFAI remains a market leader, and top frameworks are gaining more adoption.
The following is the original content (slightly reorganized for better comprehension):
AI agents are experiencing a strong rebound, here is an overview of the six leading industries spearheading the charge: The market underwent a massive sell-off after Trump announced tariffs, with the market panicking over the trade war with Mexico, Canada, and China.
However, following last-minute negotiations between the US and Mexico, the panic has temporarily subsided and has now been halted for 30 days.
In addition, Trump signed an executive order aimed at establishing a US sovereign wealth fund (which may signify investment diversification into the cryptocurrency space). David Sacks will hold a press conference on February 4 to detail the government's stance on cryptocurrency and artificial intelligence.
The AI agent market has rapidly rebounded in the past 24 hours, with gains of 20%-70% across multiple sectors.
According to cookiedotfun data, the top six sectors by gain are:
Swarm
App Store
Dev Tools
Launchpad
Investment DAO
DeFAI

Disclaimer: Many of these options have low liquidity, so they can drop rapidly once they fall, and likewise, surge significantly when they rise. Therefore, be sure to conduct your own research before considering any investment. Make sure to make your own decisions, and do not let FOMO drive your trades.
