Editor's Note: This article discusses the performance of the AI agent market, especially its strong recovery across multiple industries. It highlights the gains in areas such as Swarm, App Store, Dev Tools, Launchpad, Investment DAO, DeFAI, and the driving factors behind them. It emphasizes that DeFAI remains a market leader, and top frameworks are gaining more adoption.
The following is the original content (slightly reorganized for better comprehension):
AI agents are experiencing a strong rebound, here is an overview of the six leading industries spearheading the charge: The market underwent a massive sell-off after Trump announced tariffs, with the market panicking over the trade war with Mexico, Canada, and China.
However, following last-minute negotiations between the US and Mexico, the panic has temporarily subsided and has now been halted for 30 days.
In addition, Trump signed an executive order aimed at establishing a US sovereign wealth fund (which may signify investment diversification into the cryptocurrency space). David Sacks will hold a press conference on February 4 to detail the government's stance on cryptocurrency and artificial intelligence.
The AI agent market has rapidly rebounded in the past 24 hours, with gains of 20%-70% across multiple sectors.
According to cookiedotfun data, the top six sectors by gain are:
Swarm
App Store
Dev Tools
Launchpad
Investment DAO
DeFAI

Disclaimer: Many of these options have low liquidity, so they can drop rapidly once they fall, and likewise, surge significantly when they rise. Therefore, be sure to conduct your own research before considering any investment. Make sure to make your own decisions, and do not let FOMO drive your trades.

ZachXBT: Humanity private key leak and abnormal surge in H token should be viewed separately
On June 9, according to related disclosures, on-chain investigator ZachXBT posted an update on Humanity’s roughly $31 million security incident, saying that after further analyzing fund flows, he currently tends to believe the project team was not involved in an “inside job” or a self-staged attack. According to him, the official explanation about the private key leak was broadly accurate, but before the token unlock, the price of H had been artificially pushed higher, and the hacker later took advantage of that market environment; therefore, the private key leak and the earlier abnormal price pumping should be regarded as two separate and independent events. This reframing has shifted the market’s understanding of the nature of the incident. Earlier discussion around Humanity had focused on whether the team directly participated in the attack or used the security incident to cover up internal operations. ZachXBT’s latest remarks shift the focus from “whether it was self-theft” to “whether there were pre-unlock market structure issues.” He also questioned whether the team may have.

Foreign selling in the South Korean stock market accelerates, with cumulative net sales reportedly reaching $75 billion this year
On June 9, The Kobeissi Letter, citing Goldman Sachs data, reported that global investors are selling South Korean stocks at an unusually rapid pace. In the latest trading session, foreign investors sold about $801 million worth of Kospi constituent stocks again; total foreign outflows last week reached about $10 billion, and the market has been in net foreign selling on nearly every trading day over the past month. According to the data cited in the report, foreign investors have sold about $75 billion worth of South Korean stocks so far this year. Meanwhile, South Korean retail and institutional investors together recorded roughly $69 billion in net buying over the same period, suggesting that the market’s main buying support has come from domestic capital rather than returning overseas funds. The information currently disclosed still mainly comes from The Kobeissi Letter’s retelling and Goldman Sachs data summaries, while public details on the statistical period and the specific definition of “selling” remain relatively limited.
