The Ai space is fast evolving with AI agents becoming more powerful version by version and talk of AGI on the horizon. This will change the world in ways many simply can not yet fathom and could bring about an age of prosperity the likes of which we have never seen but what does this mean for crypto space? Well AI’s are likely going to possess the abilities required to run companies in extreme scenarios as they will be able to mimic digital functions employees might perform day to day. However, to truly create a seamless experience, they would require not only the ability to produce and deliver work but also to keep track of and run the finances of a business, which brings us to the crux of this article AI Agents and Crypto.
Brian Armstrong CEO of Coinbase said it best “they can’t open a bank account, but they can own a crypto wallet”
It’s impossible for an AI to open a bank account but in the crypto world, especially decentralised with less KYC criteria, it is entirely plausible an AI agent could own and operate a crypto wallet, managing a businesses finances entirely on chain. This would be a profound shift in that it would require suppliers to accept crypto payment in some shape or form but against the backdrop of innovation it is not implausible that the businesses will adapt to the onchain economy understanding that their will be new businesses either Ai augmented or fully Ai that requires it.
Whilst the future isn’t here just yet, it’s certainly more than likely we will see businesses go onchain and adapt In a similar fashion to what we saw with WEB2 card payments over physical cash.
