This article discusses the performance of the AI agent market, particularly the strong recovery across multiple industries. It highlights the gains in sectors such as Swarm, App Store, development tools, launch platforms, investment DAOs, and DeFAI, along with the driving factors behind them. It emphasizes that DeFAI remains the market leader, with top frameworks gaining more adoption.

Below is the original content (reorganized for readability):

AI agents are experiencing a strong rebound, and here is an overview of the six strongest industries leading the charge: The market underwent a massive sell-off following Trump's announcement of tariffs, causing panic over the trade war with Mexico, Canada, and China.

However, after last-minute negotiations between the U.S. and Mexico, the panic has temporarily eased, and a 30-day pause has been implemented.

In addition, Trump signed an executive order aimed at establishing a U.S. sovereign wealth fund (which may signal a diversification of investments into the cryptocurrency space). David Sacks will hold a press conference on February 4 to elaborate on the government's stance on cryptocurrency and artificial intelligence.

The AI agent market has rapidly rebounded in the past 24 hours, with gains in several sectors reaching 20%-70%.

According to cookiedotfun data, the top six industries by percentage increase are:

• Swarm
• App Store
• Development Tools
• Launchpad
• Investment DAO
• DeFAI

Disclaimer: Many of these options have low liquidity, so they can drop quickly once they fall; conversely, they can also rise significantly once they gain momentum. Therefore, it is essential to conduct your own research before considering any investments. Ensure you make your own decisions and do not let FOMO drive your trades.
