Agentic Finance: Will AI Agents use blockchains or Visa rails?
Discussion Topic
AI agents are coming for every layer of finance, from payments and lending to trading and treasury management. But as autonomous systems begin moving money at machine speed, a fundamental question emerges: will they route through Visa and Mastercard's legacy rails, or settle natively on-chain? The answer will determine where hundreds of billions in value accrues, and which infrastructure layer becomes the TCP/IP of the agentic economy.
