Margarita Finance has launched the world’s first AI-powered trading agent designed to execute institutional-grade derivative strategies on the blockchain. The development marks a significant shift in decentralized finance (DeFi), introducing AI-driven automation to structured investment products traditionally confined to traditional finance (TradFi).
AI brings automation to blockchain-based derivatives
By eliminating human intervention in trade execution, Margarita Finance’s AI agent is set to autonomously participate in derivative trading, leveraging advanced investment strategies while ensuring full on-chain transparency. Every transaction will be verifiable on the blockchain, and an AI-powered X profile will provide real-time trade updates for greater market visibility.

The initiative aims to bridge the gap between TradFi and DeFi, making complex investment products more accessible. With its trustless and verifiable execution model, Margarita Finance seeks to establish a new standard for AI-driven financial management in decentralized markets.
While AI-driven trading has been a key feature in hedge funds and institutional investing, Margarita Finance’s approach opens these sophisticated financial strategies to everyday investors. By automating complex decision-making and providing on-chain transparency, the platform aims to democratize access to institutional yield without requiring a deep background in traditional finance.
The move aligns with broader trends in financial technology. Robo-advisors transformed wealth management in the mid-2010s, and AI’s increasing role in investment decision-making could further disrupt the industry. According to research from the Bank of England, 75% of businesses are already using AI, with another 10% planning adoption within three years.
