crypto payments are going to be a huge part of the agentic future.
just read microsoft’s piece on opening digital markets so AI can shop and negotiate for us
basically, we’re moving from AI that assists → to AI that acts.
agents that can discover services, compare options, negotiate terms, and execute tasks autonomously.
> agents don’t just need intelligence,
they need verifiability.
If software is makingdecisions and moving money, you need to be able to prove:
• what the agent observed
• what decision it made
• what action it executed
• where the value went
what’s quietly emerging right now:
• 0x402 enabling agent-to-agent micropayments (~$50M processed in ~30 days, Dec data)
• big tech rolling out agentic workflows as product primitives
• stablecoins becoming default settlement
• crypto providing programmable payments identity
• verifiable AI infrastructure fcused on proving execution, verifiability
we’re already living in early agentic workflows and i believe crypto can play a major role in this
