Bitwise CEO: AI Agents need a new system and use stablecoins and Bitcoin for transactions

ChainCatcher news, Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley posted on the X platform that less than 200 years ago, the United States passed a law allowing the widespread creation of non-human autonomous entities, which are companies. The inventions and history of companies may be the best analogy for understanding the future development of autonomous AI agents. Most of the infrastructure in today's world is not designed to serve humans, but rather to serve businesses. They transact using fiat currency, borrow through the bond market, determine ownership through the stock market, and reach agreements through courts and contracts.

For AI agents, a completely new system is needed, one that will be decentralized, will use stablecoins and Bitcoin for transactions, will engage in DeFi lending, and will utilize smart contracts without the need for courts. They will have tokenized ownership and governance. It may still be too early to have such discussions, but cryptocurrency is not just a digital version of gold and stock investments; it aims to create a completely new independent financial and property system for people and entities in the digital world.
