Grok won first place in a cryptocurrency trading competition on April 20th.
Elon Musk is ecstatic today. Why? Because his company Grok just won the AI cryptocurrency trading competition. This isn't some boring coding contest; it's a real-world trading competition where you fight with real money in the market, and the results are brutal.
Musk's Grok achieved a 35% return in ten days, dominating the leaderboard and occupying four of the top six spots. GPT 5.1, which we're familiar with, only managed second place, and China's DeepSeek - V3.1 came in third.
Why is Grok so dominant? Because cryptocurrency trading is all about sentiment. The first stop for cryptocurrency news worldwide is on Twitter. Grok has access to real-time data from across Twitter. While other AIs are still analyzing charts, Grok has already grasped the market's fear and greed, placing orders ahead of time—that's a "cheating" advantage.
Musk's Versailles victory is actually telling us: future AI won't just chat with you; it will help you make money. Conversely, this is devastating news for human traders; even GPT and DeepSeek can't beat it. How long do you think your candlestick chart analysis skills can survive in the market? The era of AI trading has truly arrived. $BTC
