The combination of AI Agents and cryptocurrencies has long ceased to be just a marketing gimmick.
When the next-generation AI intelligences need to conduct autonomous trading and payments, the problem arises—traditional financial channels are simply unusable. Systems like Visa and SWIFT were not designed with this scenario in mind. Their settlement cycles, review processes, and transaction restrictions are all shackles for AI.
What does an AI Agent need? 24/7 operation, instant settlement, automatic execution, and the ability to handle massive volumes of small transactions. These demands point to only one answer: on-chain payments.
What can blockchain do? - 7×24 nonstop settlement - Native support for high-frequency trading - Fully programmable payment logic - Direct clearing without intermediaries
From this perspective, cryptocurrency systems are not an option for AI but the only feasible financial infrastructure. This is not hype; it is an inevitable choice of technological architecture.

This logic is indeed clear: traditional financial systems simply cannot keep up with the pace of AI.

It should have been said this way earlier: the old-fashioned traditional financial architecture truly doesn't match up with AI.

It should have been said this way earlier: traditional finance can't keep up with the speed of AI.

It should have been said this way long ago; the old and broken traditional financial system simply can't keep up.

It should have been said earlier, the traditional financial system indeed needs to be replaced.
