AI Agents Are Getting Their Own Legal System — Here's What That Means for Crypto and Commerce

48d ago · 1 source

It matters for crypto because many of these AI agents use blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies to move money around. Having a legal safety net could make more people and businesses comfortable using these systems, which could drive more adoption of both AI agents and the crypto infrastructure they run on.
