Deep Tide TechFlow News, on December 14, Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley posted on platform X that less than 200 years ago, the United States passed a law allowing the widespread creation of non-human autonomous entities, which are corporations. The inventions and history of corporations may be the best analogy for understanding the future development of autonomous artificial intelligence agents. Most of the infrastructure in today's world does not serve humans but rather serves corporations. 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 possess 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 independent financial and property system for people and entities in the digital world.
