Chinese AI Outperforms ChatGPT and Grok in Crypto Trading Experiment

A new study suggests that Chinese-developed artificial intelligence (AI) models are outperforming their US counterparts in cryptocurrency trading. Data from blockchain analytics platform CoinGlass shows DeepSeek and Qwen3 Max, developed in China, leading a competition between leading generative AI chatbots and achieving substantial gains. 9.1% unrealized return was recorded by DeepSeek, which bet on the crypto market’s rise with leveraged long positions across major coins like Bitcoin, Ether, Solana, and others. On the other hand, ChatGPT-5 from OpenAI saw a massive decline of over 66%, impacting its initial account value of $10,000 to just $3,453.
