Bitget And SlowMist Map Emerging Security Risks As AI Agents Begin Executing Trades

VICTORIA, Seychelles, March 24 (Bernama) -- Bitget, the world’s largest Universal Exchange (UEX), has collaborated with blockchain security firm SlowMist, to release a joint research report examining the risks emerging as AI systems begin executing trades autonomously. As trading enters this “agentic” phase, where systems move beyond analysis into action, a new category of risk is taking shape, one that traditional security models were not designed to address.

The report highlights a fundamental shift that once AI moves from advisory roles into execution, errors and exploits are no longer isolated events. They can trigger immediate, irreversible financial outcomes. In crypto markets, where transactions settle instantly, a compromised or misdirected agent can act faster than human intervention allows.
