Chappy Asel suggests that autonomous AI agents may become the ideal users for crypto's programmable payment infrastructure.Summary
Chappy Asel, founder of The AI Collective, argues that autonomous software agents represent the next major user base for cryptocurrency. As these agents increasingly perform economic tasks, they require high-speed, programmable payment systems like stablecoins to function effectively. While agentic payments are currently in a theoretical phase and infrastructure development is nascent, Asel believes that machines are better suited for crypto's technical complexities than humans. Additionally, the article notes that crypto-adjacent industries, such as bitcoin mining, are pivoting to provide compute and data center resources to support the growing AI economy.
