DeFAI Is Heating Up — Here's A Project You Have To Watch!
Hi fam,
Over the past year, crypto market cycles have started to look a bit different.
Instead of the entire market pumping together, we’re seeing specific narratives dominate smaller, intra-cycle pumps—and it’s becoming increasingly apparent.
Early 2024: Memecoins stole the show, delivering massive returns.
Autumn 2024: We saw the resurgence of last-cycle tokens, proving old names can still make waves.
Late 2024 into 2025: The rise of AI agents took center stage, becoming the hottest trend for months.
Now? It looks like DeFAI (Decentralized Finance + AI) is gearing up to be the next big thing.
Why DeFAI Could Be Huge
The idea behind DeFAI is to combine AI-driven automation with DeFi protocols, making decentralized finance more accessible, scalable, and intelligent.
Here's the cool part: DeFAI is still in its early days.
Currently, only 5 (!!!) projects are listed under the DeFAI category on CoinMarketCap, highlighting how new and underdeveloped this sector is. The entire category has a market cap of only~450M.
In crypto, being early often means outsized gains—and DeFAI looks like the next opportunity to get ahead of the curve.
Here's one project I checked out in detail.
Spotlight on Orbit ($GRIFT)
Orbit is one of the most advanced projects but still has one of the lowest market caps.
Some Key Highlights:
AI-Powered DeFi: Orbit uses a large language model (LLM) to handle on-chain transactions across 100+ blockchains—making complex tasks simple and conversational.
DeFi Made Easy: Users can chat with the AI instead of navigating multiple dApps, reducing friction and opening DeFi to mainstream adoption. (I staked some SOL today, and it was incredibly flawless).
Token ($GRIFT): Orbit’s token is already live on Solana and has a market cap of ~$60M—leaving plenty of upside potential if DeFAI becomes the next major narrative.
Why Orbit Stands Out
Orbit doesn’t just target crypto veterans—it also lowers barriers for newcomers, bridging the gap between complex DeFi strategies and user-friendly AI interfaces.
While the competition in AI and DeFi is heating up, Orbit’s cross-chain compatibility and LLM-driven automation give it an edge—especially if it can deliver real utility and adoption.
Key Takeaway
DeFAI is still early, but it’s moving fast. And Orbit ($GRIFT) is one of the most promising plays in this space. Watch it closely.
