Shocking! @DeAgentAI has launched a principal-protected staking campaign!
This morning, it announced its listing on the Korean exchange Bithumb @BithumbOfficial
By the afternoon, it had launched principal-protected staking and mining—and shortly afterward,
$AIA took off in a spiral.
This news can be viewed in two parts.
1: First, the “principal-protected staking” aspect
The general idea, based on the official documentation, is:
Stake USDC in the pool.
The project team uses the staked funds to buy
$AIA and automatically stake it.
Then, after 12 months, you can withdraw.
You’ll receive an amount of
$AIA tokens equal to the principal you staked.
Staking rewards will then be paid in
$AIA tokens in installments.
This round of principal-protected staking is capped at 500,000 USDC.
The minimum per deposit is 350 USDC. Deposits are accepted until the cap is reached.
There are three pools:
Ultra: Up to 50% in
$AIA rewards over 12 months
Boost: Up to 40% over 12 months
Fast: Up to 35% over 12 months
The main differences are the reward amount and when the rewards are paid out.
One thing to note:
“Principal-protected” here refers to the USDC principal.
It does not mean you’ll get back the AIA bought with your funds when the term ends.

2: Now, about the positive news for the
$AIA token
DeAgentAI has already completed an AIA buyback program worth $5 million,
and the tokens bought back previously have been burned.
The buyback was funded by protocol revenue and AI model trading revenue, not by fundraising or token issuance.
Now it has launched this principal-protected staking campaign.
In essence, it still works by using USDC → buying
$AIA → staking.
In other words, this campaign itself will create new demand for AIA.
