BlackRock, Coinbase and Chainlink on what AI agents will need to pay
@BlackRock digital assets research head Will Su joined
@alecglovett of
@coinbase and
@SergeyNazarov of
@chainlink at BlackRock’s Aladdin Client Forum to talk about AI agents with wallets. Su pointed to a BlackRock paper that sees AI as the brains of a new machine economy and crypto as its money.
Lovett said agents need new low-cost rails for very high volumes, and that Coinbase is investing heavily in stablecoin payments, fast blockchains, and agent protocols. Nazarov expects tightly controlled use, with agents carrying an identity and set limits, like a Know Your Agent check.
