ChainCatcher news, Bitwise CEO Hunter Horsley posted on the X platform that less than 200 years ago the United States passed a law allowing for the widespread creation of non-human autonomous entities, which are corporations. The invention and history of corporations may be the best analogy for understanding the future development of autonomous AI agents. Most of today's infrastructure is not designed to serve humans but rather to serve businesses, which 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 whole new system is needed, one that is encrypted, will use stablecoins and Bitcoin for transactions, will engage in DeFi lending, will utilize smart contracts, and will not require courts. They will possess tokenized ownership and governance. It may be too early to have such discussions now, 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.
