AI Agent
What is an AI agent in crypto?
Autonomous software that can hold a wallet, hold funds, and transact on-chain without a human approving each step. AI agents expose the gap in compliance frameworks built around human account holders: who is liable, and how do you KYC a piece of code?
Where this comes up
- AI Agents Have Credit Cards. The Risk Framework Hasn't Caught Up.
- A 25-Year-Old Just Got a US Bank Charter. The OCC Is Telling You Something.
- AI Agents Are Already Paying Each Other in Crypto. TradFi Has No Framework for What Comes Next.
- America's Top Derivatives Regulator Just Said 'You Can't Have AI Without Blockchain.' He's Not Wrong.
