Abstract

Despite the growing potential of large language model (LLM)-based agent frameworks in stock trading, their applicability to comprehensive analysis and multi-asset financial trading, particularly in cryptocurrency markets, remains underexplored. To bridge this gap, we introduce the Agent-Based Single Cryptocurrency Trading Challenge, a shared financial task featured at the COLING 2025 FinNLP-FNP-LLMFinLegal workshop. This challenge focuses on two prominent cryptocurrencies: Bitcoin and Ethereum. In this paper, we present an overview of the task and associated datasets, summarize the methodologies employed by participants, and evaluate their experimental results. Our findings highlight the effectiveness of LLMs in addressing the unique challenges of cryptocurrency trading, offering valuable insights into their capabilities and limitations in this domain. To the best of our knowledge, this challenge is among the first to systematically assess LLM-based agents in cryptocurrency trading. We conclude by providing detailed observations and actionable takeaways to guide future research and development in this emerging area.
