AI AGENTS ARE CRYPTO'S TRUE USERS

Summary from the TLDR Crypto newsletter

Autonomous AI agents need programmable, permissionless money, ways to receive payment and pay for compute and data, as well as ways to transact peer-to-peer with instant settlement and no human KYC. Crypto already provides those rails. In an agentic future, agents start earning onchain, scale into major economic participants, rapidly pick the optimal chains by machine testing, and eventually dominate DAO governance. AI could ultimately account for roughly 30–80% of crypto activity by 2030.
