Crypto firm Alchemy, CEO and co-founder Nikil Viswanathan, has stated that the modern financial system was never designed for machines but is now being used by AI agents as economic participants. He argues that the current model of financial systems is becoming more restrictive for AI agents, who operate differently. Viswanath argues that crypto was built for AI agent rather than for humans, offering a global, always-on financial layer where value moves as easily as data. He predicts that AI agents will increasingly sit on top of crypto infrastructure to handle complex issues such as complex banking operations and manage financial transactions in real time.
