Animoca Brands chairman Yat Siu proposes that the metaverse is evolving beyond human-centric immersive worlds into a landscape dominated by AI agents.

He suggests that blockchain serves as the ideal financial infrastructure for these machines, potentially overcoming the adoption hurdles that have historically kept mainstream users away from complex crypto interfaces. To support this, Animoca has launched a $10 million investment initiative for developers building AI agent applications.
