BlockBeats News, December 14, Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley posted on 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 invention and history of companies may be the best analogy for understanding the future development of autonomous artificial intelligence agents. Most of today's infrastructure serves corporations rather than humans; 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 encrypted, 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. Discussing such matters now may be premature, but cryptocurrency is not just a digital version of gold and stock investments; it aims to create an entirely new independent financial system and property system for people and entities in the digital world.
