The decentralized finance (DeFi) landscape may be on the verge of a fundamental shift as AI agents emerge as the primary users of blockchain protocols, according to industry analysis from BeInCrypto. This transition would transform blockchains from human-driven trading platforms into coordination and settlement systems for autonomous software.
Federico Variola, CEO of cryptocurrency exchange Phemex, suggests this evolution could address current challenges facing blockchain ecosystems. According to Variola, the shift away from human timing, sentiment, and speculation-driven activity could improve how on-chain activity develops overall.
