Brian Armstrong predicts AI agents will eventually transact more daily than all humans combined, using crypto as infrastructure.
Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong stated that artificial intelligence agents will eventually conduct more daily transactions than all humans combined. He emphasized that crypto will serve as the financial backbone for these AI-driven transactions, rather than competing with AI as a megatrend.
Armstrong outlined Coinbase’s strategy to support this vision through initiatives like x402, Base, and the USDC stablecoin. The company is positioning itself to facilitate what it calls “Agentic Finance,” integrating AI and blockchain technology.
The remarks highlight a long-term bet on the convergence of AI and crypto, though no immediate market reaction was specified. The focus remains on infrastructure development rather than short-term trading impacts.
