- Injective introduces AI Index Perpetual Market, blending AI-related crypto tokens and traditional stocks in a single decentralized trading platform.
- The AI market is projected to surpass $1.5T in five years, with Injective expanding its ecosystem through AI-powered on-chain innovations.
Injective has introduced the AI Index Perpetual Market (AIX) on their decentralized exchange, Helix. For traders looking to gain exposure themselves to AI-based companies and projects in one on-chain asset, this step provides easier access.
What is the AI Index Perpetual Market?
Injective is not only introducing a new product but also aiming to ease access to AI investment by offering an index covering several assets, both from the crypto world and traditional equities. Ten top artificial intelligence tokens and six equities of companies aiming at artificial intelligence development—including well-known corporations like NVIDIA and Taiwan Semiconductor—are included on this index.
Today, a new financial primitive launches on @Injective.

AIX is offered as a solution allowing automatic portfolio diversification in one product if someone wishes to invest in several AI initiatives without having to acquire each asset separately.
On the other hand, the existence of this AI Index also indicates the expanding network of decentralized finance (DeFi). Injective aims to link the worlds of stocks and cryptocurrency into one on-chain ecosystem more open and easily reachable to all. Eric Chen, CEO of the Injective Foundation, emphasized the significance of this development:
“Our goal is to enhance traditional finance with on-chain crypto rails to reach a globalized scale. The launch of AIX which harmoniously combines real world assets with crypto is a major step towards that goal which in turn creates a seismic shift for the finance industry at large.”
The Growing AI Market
There is an explanation for the introduction of this artificial intelligence index. The worldwide AI market is still expanding fast. The estimated market valuation of artificial intelligence nowadays is $400 billion. Some estimates even show that this industry might reach more than $1.5 trillion in five years.
A recent PWC report indicates that the efficiency produced by artificial intelligence might support the worldwide economy with more than $15.7 trillion. From technology to banking, this is not only a trend but also a significant upheaval influencing several sectors.
Injective and Innovation in the AI World
Not only that, with the release of iAgent 2.0, Injective has also advanced in the AI sector. As we previously reported, this innovation combines the ElizaOS framework to show a more advanced AI agent capable of running straight on the blockchain.
This update increases the opportunities of employing artificial intelligence in the on-chain ecosystem in addition to scalability and adaptability. This translates for developers and users into a more flexible and quick experience creating and implementing AI-based apps on the Injective blockchain.
For traders and investors, the introduction of AIX most definitely has a significant influence. They can expose themselves to top AI projects using this index instead of sorting through them one by one. With an average trade volume of US$2 billion monthly, Helix—the exchange housing AIX—has likewise seen explosive expansion.
Fascinatingly, these developments have also shown favor for Injective’s native token, INJ. INJ was trading at about $20.03 at the time of writing, up 5.20% over the last 24 hours. Having a market cap of about $2 billion, this crypto still demonstrates significant market potential.
