Crypto industry sees AI-driven agent economy as next growth driver
Experts at Hong Kong's Web3 Festival predict AI agents could drive up to $5 trillion in global crypto sales by 2030. Crypto can provide AI agents with tools to transfer funds instantly across borders without permission.
Experts gathered at Hong Kong's Web3 Festival anticipate the emergence of AI agents as a next growth driver for the crypto industry. AI agents, which can perceive their environment and make decisions autonomously, need tools to unlock their full economic potential. Crypto can provide this through instant, permissionless cross-border fund transfers. OKX Global's Lennix Lai said the interaction with blockchain will likely change indefinitely. An executive director at the China Society for Finance and Banking forecast a 'decentralised agent economy' but noted AI's potential is currently limited by existing financial systems. Web3 can provide deterministic rules, eliminating the need for intermediaries and enabling automatic operation.
