Is crypto the logical next step for AI-to-AI and AI-to-Business payments?

Wait 5 sec.

I've been thinking about the current AI trend and how the infrastructure might evolve. Phase 1 was clearly the GPU boom for training the models. Phase 2 seems to be the inference and edge computing boom for actually running them everywhere. Does it make sense that Phase 3 could be autonomous AI agents needing a native settlement layer? Since an AI can't open a traditional corporate bank account or pass KYC to use services like Stripe, crypto seems like the most practical way for them to transact with each other (AI-to-AI) and pay traditional companies for things like APIs, web scraping, or cloud storage (AI-to-Business). If this scenario actually plays out, do you think networks like ETH, SOL, or LINK are well-positioned to capture this volume? Or is the idea of AI agents driving blockchain adoption still too far off? Would love to hear your thoughts on this timeline.   submitted by   /u/vogtsburger [link]   [comments]
