PAAL AI (PAAL) is an AI-focused Ethereum-based crypto project offering custom virtual assistants, AI trading, content creation, audits, and more.

 (AI) and machine learning (ML) are undoubtedly the hottest current topics in the world of crypto, and in the entire business world, for that matter. Riding the wave of wild AI enthusiasm, AI-focused blockchain projects and coins are experiencing unprecedented growth. Projects like Artificial Superintelligence Alliance (FET), 

 (AGIX), all focused on the AI sphere and its use cases, have been receiving massive attention from users and industry observers.

Another high-profile AI-oriented crypto project, Paal AI (PAAL), has also benefited from the niche's surging popularity. As of late December 2024, the project has grown to occupy one of the top spots in the crypto market's category of AI agents.

The platform offers a wide variety of AI products and services, including task automation through AI bots and agents, AI-driven content creation, crypto trading supported by AI algorithms, automated 

 audits and AI model training using outsourced GPU processing power. 

At the platform's core is a service that allows users to create intelligent AI bots and agents to automate various complex tasks and business processes. However, a quick glance at the platform's overall product line clearly demonstrates that Paal AI aims to leverage AI technology for many different things, all at the junction of AI and blockchain technologies.

 (DApp) that offers crypto users a variety of AI-powered products and services, with the core product being an easy-to-use functionality to create custom AI virtual assistants.

 In addition to this service, the platform features various other products supported by AI algorithms, including AI-driven content creation using images and video, crypto trading automation, cryptocurrency market insights, automated smart contract audits and even AI model training via GPU power rentals.

The platform's diverse product line also includes the user-friendly Paal AI Web Widget, which can be integrated into any website. It offers a chatbot that delivers information and insights on the crypto market, and even conducts general online searches.

Another key product devised by the project is Paal as a Service (PaaS), a customized way to address the AI needs of various industry sectors, including online betting, trading, digital collectibles and more.

The Paal AI platform was launched on Ethereum in June 2023. The project's only publicly identified co-founder is mononymously known as 

. As of December 2024, Paal AI is among the top five leading crypto projects in the AI agents niche, with a market cap exceeding $280 million.

Paal AI Studio is a web application that provides a user-friendly interface for interacting with its diverse range of AI tools. It has four primary modes: MyPaal, Explore, Creative Lab and Agents.

The first mode, MyPaal, allows you to create AI bots with personalized knowledge bases and traits. Bots created via this mode can be used for custom applications and business processes requiring specific domain knowledge.

The second mode, the aptly named Explore, lets you browse through and select pre-built AI solutions that fit specific business needs. You can choose a suitable solution and use it out of the box, or configure it to better suit your specific task automation requirements.

Creative Lab mode provides AI tools to help you create content using images and video. This capability may be useful for creators whose content requirements involve rich media beyond textual information.

The last mode, Agents, lets you easily create and deploy 

 for various task automation and workflow optimization purposes.

MyPaalBot is an AI service that lets you create your personalized bot to carry out various tasks, including delivering information on the crypto market, trading automation and more. You can create your own personalized bot through the Paal AI Studio interface, and customize it for specific domains and tasks.

MyPaal can interact with users such as online community members, automate processes and integrate into platforms like Telegram and the Paal AI Web Widget. Bots created with MyPaalBot can engage in discussions with you, just like the ubiquitously popular 

. However, the difference between Paal-based bots and ChatGPT is that you can customize the former for specific domains, including cryptocurrency and trading, while the latter is simply a general-purpose chat bot, albeit a powerful one.

PaalX is the platform's solution for AI-powered crypto trading. It offers models, automated trading strategies and tools to help traders at all experience levels. Using PaalX, you can place manual orders, set up AI agents to execute automatic trades, track specific tokens using AI-based tracking tools, analyze the crypto market and access trading alerts.

In addition to its trading tools, PaalX offers access to a knowledge base and an FAQ section, as well as the opportunity to engage with other platform users via Telegram.

PaalX's user-friendly interface allows you to specify your manual order configuration in great detail, with options to set key parameters, such as trade sizes based on the percentage of available balance, the percentage of gain to close an order for take-profit and stop-loss levels based on token price fluctuations, and maximum tolerable 

If you'd like to automate your trading, PaalX lets you easily set up an AI agent, specify basic parameters — and then sit back and let your AI trading assistant execute your prespecified strategies.

Ask.Paal is an AI chatbot that delivers market insights, in addition to real-time analytics for cryptocurrency and blockchain projects and assets. You can ask it anything related to the crypto market or blockchain industry, or browse the featured projects listed on its interface for more in-depth information.

Ask.Paal offers the user a choice between different large language models (LLMs), such as PaalGPT, IBM

 and others. You can experiment with different LLMs to select the one that provides the most robust crypto research and fits your preferences in terms of its conversational style and knowledge.

There are also plugins available for Ask.Paal to extend its base functionality. Some of the more interesting plug-ins include Narratives Plugin, a tool to explore or create community-validated narratives about the crypto market or hot crypto trends; Voice Output, which allows Ask.Paal to respond to your queries in voice rather than text; and Image Search, which delivers infographics and visuals related to specific crypto projects or assets.

Audit.Paal is a solution to help you audit specific tokens and smart contracts for research and fraud detection purposes. Your personal AI agent scans the projects and assets you specify to identify issues like potential honeypots, 

 prevalent in the cryptocurrency world. For each token you query, Audit.Paal provides comprehensive analytics related to token permissions and potential vulnerabilities. You can also access your audit history and pending audits for efficient audit management.

As of December 2024, Audit.Paal is capable of scanning and analyzing assets on Ethereum, 

. Paal AI also provides an API to help developers integrate Audit.Paal into their platforms.

Deploy.paal is a service that lets AI model developers rent GPU processing capacity from the Paal AI platform on a flexible, per-use basis to train AI models and run AI algorithms. Training and running AI models often requires significant processing power, especially considering the ever-increasing user demands on AI-supported functionality. The amount of data typically used for model training and inferences is substantial. At the same time, hardware processing capacity is quickly becoming a scarce resource.

Using Deploy.paal, developers can access significant GPU capacity on a flexible and affordable basis to train and run their AI models. The platform offers two primary machine instances via the cloud to run GPU-intensive tasks: g4dn.xlarge and g4dn.2xlarge. One hour of processing by these machines costs $0.07 and $0.10, respectively. Developers pay only for the amount of time they utilize these resources; there are no lock-in contracts or initial setup fees, making Deploy.paal a convenient and cost-effective way to train and run AI algorithms.

Deploy.paal users can also scale their machines up and down anytime, depending on their current capacity requirements. Overall, Deploy.paal is probably among the most flexible GPU renting services in the 

 (NFT) collections for its user community. In August 2023, during the platform's first months of operation, Paal AI released the free Beta Bots collection, consisting of 213 NFTs, each dedicated to a step or milestone in the evolution of AI. Initially, the NFTs were distributed to community members for free, though they’ve since become available for purchase on the secondary market through 

The second collection, PaalX Bots, was released in March 2024 and consists of 1,000 items, each one opening access to a range of benefits and perks on the platform. PaalX Bots NFT holders can enjoy various benefits, such as trading on PaalX with no transaction fees, earning a share of trading volume revenues and accessing advanced trading options. NFTs from this collection are also available on the secondary market through OpenSea.

The platform's native cryptocurrency, PAAL, is an 

 token issued on the Ethereum blockchain. PAAL mainly provides access to AI products, agents and various functions on the platform. It can also be used to unlock special features or qualify for reward distributions.

The PAAL token is supply-capped, with a total and maximum supply specified at 1 billion.

Another key functionality of the PAAL token is 

. PAAL stakers can earn competitive APY rates by locking their funds in the platform's staking pools.

As of the time of this writing (Dec 26, 2024), you can select three staking periods — 14, 28 and 56 days, with the longer commitment periods offering higher APY rates. Currently, the platform offers APYs of 3%, 10% and 15% for 14-, 28- and 56-day staking periods, respectively.

The project funnels any token buybacks of PAAL into its staking pools to boost reward rates and earnings for stakers.

The PAAL token is available on Bybit's Spot market as a 

As of Dec 26, 2024, the PAAL token is trading at $0.3385, or 60.7% lower than its ATH of $0.8598 on Mar 10, 2024, and 737,122% higher than its ATL of $0.00004587 on Jul 24, 2023.

Long-term price forecasts for PAAL are bullish. DigitalCoinPrice 

 $0.81 in 2025 and $2.32 in 2030, while CoinCodex 

 that the token will trade at $1.507 in 2025 and $1.319 in 2030.

You might consider investing in the PAAL token based on the following factors:

Naturally, before investing in PAAL or any other cryptocurrency, you’re encouraged to do your own 

AI and ML technologies are currently fueling massive growth in the cryptocurrency industry. A cursory look at crypto market data reveals that AI-linked coins are currently among the most popular assets, attracting investors who aren't shy of risk in search of high rewards. Since its launch in mid-2023, Paal AI has steadily gained its footing among the top crypto projects dedicated to the AI agents subsector. As we move into 2025, the platform's comprehensive set of AI products and services will be its key differentiation point, potentially helping it cement its place among the most popular AI cryptocurrencies.

The PAAL token is currently off the head-spinning heights it climbed to earlier in 2024, a development that’s quite characteristic of many other AI cryptos. While this indicates that the wild, unbridled enthusiasm for these assets is receding, overall interest in these cryptocurrencies will likely remain strong, albeit at more realistic and objectively justified levels. 

With interest in AI — particularly AI agents — expected to thrive in the years to come, Paal AI has every chance to solidify its already respectable market position.

Streamflow (STREAM): Simplifying Token Distribution for Projects

Our weekly crypto derivatives analytics report delves into macro events, the current state of crypto and trading signals from spot trading volume, and futures, options and perpetual contracts.

December's end-of-year options expiration is poised to be significant, with over $525 million in options contracts set to expire this Friday (Dec 27, 2024) for BTC and ETH. However, volatility expectations remain low and have been more responsive to recent spot price movements. Realized volatility has surged as spot prices fluctuate within their recent range, yet short-term options haven’t kept pace with this increase. 

While ETH's volatility structure has inverted, BTC's hasn’t reacted similarly after the recent U.S. elections. Additionally, funding rates across cryptocurrencies have shifted into a new market phase, occasionally dipping into negative territory alongside declines in spot prices. In terms of perpetuals , funding rates have moved from neutral to intermittently negative, aligning with spot price movements. Meanwhile, among options, BTC's volatility structure has been less responsive to spot changes, whereas ETH short-term options are exhibiting significant fluctuations at elevated levels. 

Please check out the report’s highlights.

Market Hasn’t Factored in BTC Options Expirations Volatility 

For the third time this month, spot prices have shown higher realized volatility than that implied by 1-month-tenor constant maturities. Each occurrence has eventually led to a decline in realized volatility, as implied levels have remained relatively stable. Open interest in BTC options continues to be high, contributing to a significant end-of-year options expiration, with approximately $360 million in put and call contracts set to expire. 

This week nearly marked a full inversion of the at-the-money volatility term structure, highlighted by a spike in front-end volatility on Dec 21, 2024. However, the elevated level of realized volatility hasn’t triggered a similar inversion to that seen with ETH.

Realized volatility has surged above implied volatility, as spot prices have fluctuated sharply between $3.2K–$3.6K. After a strong mid-week inversion, the resulting term structure is relatively flat. Despite its changing shape, levels haven’t risen significantly above the range maintained over the past month. As we enter the final week of 2024, open interest remains predominantly in call options, although put options are experiencing the majority of trading activity as the year comes to a close.

If you’re keen to learn how to trade cryptocurrency, it naturally means you’re ready to embrace the volatility and the expeditious trends. While volatility brings uncertainties to the market, it can open up innumerable opportunities in the decentralized paradigm. 

The upshot? Cryptocurrency trading is not only the most prominent and society-redefining trend in the current financial market. Its growth is speculated to resonate in three upcoming years. Of course, it’s common to find yourself struggling to understand the concept of crypto trading, crypto ecosystem, crypto exchange, or wondering how to trade cryptocurrency.

Here’s the comprehensive crypto trading guide and tutorial that deciphers the trading processes, risks, legality, and ultimately, ensures you master the art of crypto trading.

5 Ways to Trade Cryptocurrency Successfully

The best way to trade cryptocurrency is first to understand the concept. Then, validate the exchanges’ security, decide on wallet types, and embrace different crypto trading methodologies. Always be logical yet quick to react to market volatility. In contrast, the key to successful crypto trading is to set a limit.

Regardless, of it’s fiat to crypto trading or crypto to crypto trading, you’ll understand the trading process’s details, crypto exchange and learn how to trade crypto in five simple steps.

Depending on your specific preferences, you can start trading cryptocurrency by buying digital currencies, mining crypto, or even staking to earn yield rewards. Ultimately, your choice of trades will yield different results. 

Most beginners would tap into the crypto world through the centralized exchanges of fiat money for cryptocurrency. Mainly because the fiat-to-crypto gateways widely boast of flexibility rather than complexity. Traders who are keen on fiat-to-crypto trading can expect seamless transactions with preferred cryptocurrencies and any money payment methods. The minimum requirement is to make sure the chosen exchange platform supports fiat money to cryptocurrency. From there, traders can then deposit money and perform the buy or sell process within its account. 

Traders will only be trading crypto in the exchange from one crypto to another. However, traders are required to be aware that most of the current crypto exchanges focus only on Bitcoin (BTC) to other cryptocurrencies. What remains the same is that a trader needs to create a cryptocurrency exchange account and list his assets to open a position. Before the selling of crypto, it is secured in hot or cold wallet storage.

Staking is a less cognitive and labor-intensive alternative to coin mining. Unlike trading, users enter the crypto world without asset investment but rather earn staking rewards by maintaining network security. It usually consists of validating a transaction, holding coins in a wallet, or delegating funds to a staking pool. Although staking is resistant to cryptocurrency market manipulation, the rules and regulations are subject to change. Mainly it’s used to mitigate the artificial inflation of a project for a higher staking return. 

Crypto was once just a bubble in a niche industry. But unlike ten years ago, the crypto ecosystem has evolved into a diversified financial sector. It now comprises crypto exchanges, blockchain protocols, information aggregations, mobile apps, and a developing regulatory environment, thanks to the unique underlying decentralized nature. 

When trading crypto, a trader can eradicate the obscurity of transactions. As opposed to performing a transaction via a central server, the crypto network utilizes a system of

 that foster transparency. That means when a trader bought or sold a cryptocurrency, the transaction will be recorded to a shared digital ledger (blockchain) that is immutable. It’s completely automated, and it also cuts down on operational inefficiencies significantly.

Centralized Finance (CeFi) or Decentralized Finance (

The advent of blockchain has evolved for further diversification and innovation that’ll only benefit the crypto community. What 

 is the transferability of risks. A CeFi user can be assured of the escrowed funds. While 

 boasts of its independence by adhering to the protocols and autonomous controls. For example, decentralized exchanges (

) builds their structure through the peer-to-peer marketplace on blockchain to allow traders to be the custodian of their funds.

Discern the factors of Cryptocurrency Market Movement

The main constituent of a crypto trade is demand and supply. Meanwhile, there are a variety of factors that can exert influence on capital mobility. That includes market price manipulation, crypto news, political and government ordinances, the sustainability of the crypto ecosystem, scarcity, utilization of the supply of crypto alternatives, and more. 

Profit is a direct reflection of a trading strategy. Beyond investing in crypto, adopting a strategic trading approach can make all the difference. Below are some of the methods to trade cryptocurrency:

Day trading features a similar tactic as scalping; it involves long and short within minutes. Typically, it involves trading on a day. What distinguishes intra-day and day trading is that it allows traders to hold an open position over a day. As long as the crypto market stays open, intra-day traders will not be affected. 

So, for day traders who’re keen on owning the cryptocurrency, you’ll need an exchange to trade on its price. As opposed to price speculation, you’ll be needing a broker. When you’re connected to a broker, the plus point is you can run through the purchase or sale of crypto on a broker demo account. But if you own an actual coin in exchange, practicing without losing money is not possible.

When range trading, traders need to consolidate a pool of coins before selling it at a higher price. The standard practice includes trading within a range. A range trader will make a transaction regardless of the market’s low and high. As long as the price is within the price range, a trader will act.

, it usually involves a larger amount of trade where a trader intends to hold an open position for a longer period of time. Swing traders usually do not check or trade regularly but rather deal within a few days or weeks. Most of the time, a swing trader uses analytic tools and research to determine the 

, relative strength index (rsi), and investment trends preparatory to a trade.

Security is essential when it comes to crypto trading. A reliable and secure cryptocurrency trading platform with a vital security feature is a plus. Not only can it minimize the risks of a fund transfer; traders can purchase or trade with ease. Here are some must-have requirements to narrow down your choices:

A good thing to know is that the failure rate of cryptocurrency is high. That means, before diving into a coin, it’s best to research its prospects. The last thing you want is another disappearance of a large group in the crypto paradigm.

The Differences: Investing vs. Trading Crypto

The term ‘investing and trading’ is used interchangeably in the cryptocurrency market. While these terms are inextricably intertwined, there’s indeed a difference. The most fundamental 

is that it requires a distinctly different mindset and tactics to make money in the crypto market. So, should you be trading or investing in crypto? Here’s an overview of the differences: 

Investors tend to have a longer-term outlook. That means a trader is prepared to commit over an extended time to these digital assets for more massive returns. Generally, it means investors intend to buy and hold (HODL) cryptocurrencies regardless of market volatility.  

Investors usually create a position at the lowest price and gradually build wealth through price appreciation of the project’s digital assets and shares. Investing in cryptocurrency usually involves minimal buying and selling assets. However, hedging is quintessential to managing any of the open positions. Principally, investing in cryptocurrency means you are in for the long haul, even if there are price fluctuations. 

As compared to crypto investment, traders lay hold of profits through the rise and fall of markets. That also translates to the enter and exit of a position over a shorter time frame for smaller but more frequent profits. When it comes to trading crypto, the most fundamental principle is to buy low and sell high in a considerably short period. The goal is to maximize the potential percentage of gains based on short-term price trends. Ultimately, to maximize capital growth and preservation.

Anyone can start trading cryptocurrency. But it’s undoubtedly confusing at the beginning. The crypto trading process itself differs from trading on fiat exchanges. Ultimately, the question any beginner would ask is how to start trading cryptocurrency? Here’s a list of requirements to help you kickstart your trading journey and start earning passive income.

The best way to start trading cryptocurrency is first to decide on an exchange to trade on. Similar to forex trading, novice users need to first register and deposit funds into the account hosted by the crypto exchange. A trader can only initiate the trading process upon the completion of the signups.

When selecting a cryptocurrency exchange, there are a few factors that may sway your decision. That includes geographical restrictions, transaction fees, technical support, security, ease of use, and leverage. But since cybersecurity is on edge, trading on cryptocurrency exchanges that use cold wallets is best to steer clear of these notorious hackers.

The use of a cryptocurrency wallet is inevitable to store and retrieve any digital assets. Since crypto is vulnerable to security hacks, using an integrated cryptocurrency wallet, preferably a cold wallet, is vital to safeguard your private keys. Yes, there is an overwhelming selection of crypto wallets ranging from Coinbase wallet, Binance trust wallet, to Poloniex wallet.

To narrow down your selection, make sure the wallets are compatible with your geographically needs. A crypto wallet with robust security, including password and data encryption, intuitive interface, and two-factor authenticator verification (2FA), is a plus. 

A wallet is a tool for cryptocurrency owners to store, receive, or send crypto from one to another. While a hot wallet does not steer away from its primary function, it’s instead built based on the internet ecosystem. 

A hot wallet works best to facilitate the decentralized blockchain ledger’s changes rather than storing a currency. And the linked public and private keys are essential to activate any transactions.

While the hot wallet’s security and safety are debatable, the vulnerability still lies upon a user’s behavior. However, it’s undeniable that hot wallets are prone to hacking because of their online private keys storing nature. The chances for hackers infiltrating a hot wallet are high but can be prevented through a hot wallet’s strategic use. For example, keeping a small amount of cryptocurrency in a hot wallet is less likely to be targeted for hacks. It’s simply not worth the effort of hacking into an account with little tokens. 

 Suitable for those who intend to access crypto easily and more frequently. It’s easy to set up and accepts more variety of tokens.

On the contrary, a cold wallet does not utilize internet connectivity to store any cryptocurrencies. A cold wallet, aka cold storage, is a digital wallet that holds personal information, including private keys offline on a platform that is only accessible physically. Hence, preventing cyber infiltration online. 

These cold wallets can be in the form of paper or hardware, depending on your likings. As the name suggests, a paper wallet exists when a cryptocurrency owner records its private keys on a piece of paper. As for hardware wallets, it can appear in the form of a remote device connected to the internet when used and disconnects when the transaction is over. This hardware can be in the form of a USB stick or a memory chip. 

It is best to keep in mind that cryptocurrencies are volatile assets. Naturally, these assets’ prices fluctuate over time within a span of a few minutes or hours. Staying up-to-date with the unceasing 

 is keeping abreast of the crypto trends, events, or the latest news. It’s also worth keeping an eye on the data, including 

Trading crypto is no different from Forex. The goal is to maximize profits with as little loss as possible. When it comes to trading, losing is inevitable; the key is how we can minimize these losses? Here are some common crypto trading mistakes you should avoid:

Trading cryptocurrency with leverage is legal, and it’s often used due to its efficiency.
