Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong said the rapid development of artificial intelligence technologies will not diminish the importance of the cryptocurrency sector; On the contrary, digital assets will play a much more crucial role in the new era.
Speaking on social media platform
Armstrong said that artificial intelligence has become one of the most important technology trends of our time, but the value proposition of cryptocurrencies continues to strengthen. According to Coinbase CEO, cryptocurrency technology is a kind of general-purpose infrastructure, like electricity or the Internet, and will be one of the fundamental tools for AI systems to carry out financial transactions in the future.
Armstrong argued that the need for digital assets will increase, particularly with the proliferation of autonomous AI agents, and said current financial systems are not fully adaptable to this new technology.
Armstrong said AI agents cannot open bank accounts or wait for international money transfers to go through. Cryptocurrencies therefore offer a significant advantage as a real-time programmable payment system.
According to Coinbase CEO, in the future, AI agents will not only make payments; They will also be able to independently carry out many economic activities such as fund management, investment transactions, trading, financial advice and capital raising. In this scenario, blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies will form the fundamental infrastructure for AI systems to perform secure and transparent financial transactions.
Recently, many technology companies have been working on scenarios where artificial intelligence and blockchain technology can be used together. In particular, the integration of decentralized finance (DeFi), smart contracts and tokenization applications with AI-based systems is considered one of the most important areas of development in the sector.
This is not investment advice.
