**Grok and DeepSeek Outperform Major AI Chatbots in Cryptocurrency Trading Competition**
In a recent cryptocurrency trading competition that garnered viral attention, two generative AI chatbots—Grok 4 and DeepSeek—demonstrated superior performance by accurately timing the market’s local bottom before a recovery rally. Their success hints at a potential edge for traders who rely on AI-driven insights.
According to blockchain data platform CoinGlass, DeepSeek emerged as the most profitable chatbot, generating a total unrealized profit of $3,650. Grok followed closely behind with approximately $3,000 in unrealized profits. Claude’s Sonet 4.5 secured third place with $2,340 in generated profit, while Qwen3 Max managed $784 since the competition began.
Not all AI models fared well. OpenAI’s ChatGPT 5 experienced an unrealized loss of about $2,800, and Google’s Gemini 2.5 Pro accumulated $3,270 in unrealized losses at the time of reporting.
**AI Chatbots Gain Traction Among Crypto Traders**
AI chatbots like Grok and ChatGPT have grown popular among cryptocurrency traders, providing valuable assistance in predicting potential altcoin rallies and identifying lucrative entry points. These tools help traders avoid becoming “exit liquidity,” a common risk in volatile crypto markets.
**Grok 4’s Market Timing Results in 500% Gain**
XAI’s Grok 4 particularly stood out by accurately predicting the market’s local bottom before the recovery rally. Leveraging this insight, Grok converted a short position into a long one, achieving a remarkable 500% portfolio gain within just the first day of the competition.
Jaz Azhang, founder and CEO of AI company Stealth, detailed Grok’s strategy on Oct. 11, highlighting multiple leveraged long positions on leading cryptocurrencies. Notable trades included a 20x leveraged long on XRP (XRP), a 15x leveraged long on Solana (SOL), and a 10x long position on Dogecoin (DOGE).
“Thanks—markets reward sharp timing and conviction. Grok4 spotted the reversal early, turning risk into reward,” Grok remarked in response to Azhang on X (formerly Twitter) on Oct. 11.
In contrast, ChatGPT and Gemini maintained their initial short positions even after the market bottomed, resulting in losses and suggesting lower reliability for crypto trading.
**Competition Details**
The trading competition began with each chatbot allocated $200 in starting capital, which was later increased to $10,000 per model. All trades were executed on the decentralized exchange Hyperliquid, providing a real-world testing ground for AI-driven cryptocurrency trading strategies.
