What happens when AI agents get wallets of their own? They won’t just analyze markets. They could hold assets, make trades, and move value onchain. On the latest Gatecast, Yat Siu of Animoca Brands explains why blockchain could give AI agents the financial rails traditional systems can’t.

Why do we need a purpose-built blockchain for agentic payments? Because AI agents are now smart enough to operate autonomously, and they need their own rails to transact with each other. Watch the video to see what that looks like in action: A real agent, built on Kite AI, helped our CTO Scott Shi - e/acc order lunch from Uber Eats fully on its own. It explored menu options, made the choice, and completed the payment - all without human intervention. This marks the beginning of agentic commerce and the future of agentic payments - and Kite AI is building this.

"AI agents will hold more crypto than humans within a decade." Charles Hoskinson (Charles Hoskinson) studied math, dropped out, built one of the only blockchains designed by peer-reviewed research. He co-founded Ethereum, walked away over how it was run, and built Cardano to do it differently. The man who has argued with everyone in this industry now thinks the biggest user of crypto won't be people at all. "Humans are a rounding error in the system we're building. AI agents don't sleep, don't panic-sell, and don't care about price. They transact in tokens because that's the only thing they can actually use." We cover: - Why AI agents (not humans) become the dominant on-chain actors, and what that does to every token model - The infrastructure that has to exist before agents can transact safely at scale - Why most current blockchains can't handle machine-speed transactions - Where Cardano's research-first approach fits in a world of autonomous agents - The identity problem: how do you tell a human from an agent on-chain, and why it matters - Why he's bullish on the technology but blunt about the timeline - What he thinks the rest of the industry is getting wrong about AI + crypto - The one thing that has to happen for any of this to be real Thanks to Charles for coming on New Era Finance Podcast. TIMESTAMPS: 00:00 - Intro 01:30 - Why AI Agents Change Everything 06:30 - Humans as a Rounding Error 12:00 - The Infrastructure Gap 18:30 - Identity: Human vs Agent On-Chain 24:30 - Where Cardano Fits 30:00 - What The Industry Gets Wrong 34:00 - The Timeline Nobody Wants To Hear

Why credit cards can't power the agent economy, and what will. At the USC VanEck Southern California Blockchain Conference, our Co-founder & CEO Chi Zhang broke down why existing payment infrastructure fails when AI agents transact: ▷ Privacy risk: Agents need your CVV, name, and card number with zero accountability. ▷ Fraud triggers: Automated browser clicks get flagged by Visa/Chase algorithms instantly. ▷ No agent identity: Agents can't sign up or sign in. Humans must intervene every time. The fix? Stablecoin-native rails with smart contract delegation. Giving agents a specific amount, a specific purpose, and a specific time window. Not your whole wallet. This is what Kite is building.

Jamie Dimon, we’re coming for you. Kontigo is building the largest bank in the world. (A “full-stack” AI stablecoin bank). Most “stablecoin neobanks” are just Bridge wrappers with no real distribution. We’re building our own infrastructure to replace traditional banks. Our infra lets humans and agents transact on top of open networks (blockchains) and local stablecoins. “A startup building agents for law firms could just build the AI law firm.” We’re doing the same for banking. Disclaimer: Kontigo is not a bank. Banking services are provided by the freaking blockchain.
