ChainCatcher news, Slow Mist founder Yu Xian tweeted that the main role of AI Agents in the cryptocurrency industry seems to focus on providing incentive mechanisms through token issuance, while major players outside the cryptocurrency industry are concentrating on defining interoperability protocols and developing more practical AI applications. Compared to technological advancements in non-cryptocurrency industries, the cryptocurrency industry's focus remains more on the token level, showing a clear sense of disconnection.

ChainCatcher news, according to Cointelegraph, OpenAI co-founder Ilya Sutskever stated at the NeurIPS 2024 conference in Vancouver that the era of AI pre-training is coming to an end, and the era of AI superintelligence is approaching. He compared data to fossil fuels, pointing out that the growth of internet data has peaked, while the growth rate of computing power has surpassed the total amount of available training data.Sutskever predicts that the next phase of AI development will be dominated by three main directions: autonomous AI agents, synthetic data, and computational reasoning.

According to ChainCatcher news and SoSoValue data, the entire cryptocurrency market segment has risen, with the NFT segment leading with an increase of 8.53%. The AI Agents segment continues to perform strongly, with a 24H increase of 4.36%.Within the NFT segment, Moca Coin (MOCA) has risen by 352.21%, LooksRare (LOOKS) has increased by 15.65%, SuperVerse (SUPER) has risen by 4.98%, and ApeCoin (APE) has increased by 4.96%.In the AI Agents segment, Fartcoin (FARTCOIN) has risen by 16.71%, while Vituals Protocol (VIRTUAL) and ecosystem-related tokens AIXBT and GAME have increased by 8.47%, 11.83%, and 10.36% respectively over 24H.The RWA segment has risen by 4.12%, possibly influenced by the purchase of Trump's cryptocurrency project WLFI, with Ondo Finance (ONDO) in the segment rising by 9.34%.In other segments, the DePIN segment has risen by 3.14%, the AI segment by 3.09%, the Layer 2 segment by 2.97%, the GameFi segment by 2.75%, and the Meme segment by 2.07%.

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.
