Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong recently oversaw the first crypto transaction fully managed by artificial intelligence bots. This event followed several industry efforts to develop platforms for AI agents to execute transactions.
First AI-Managed Crypto Transaction
On August 30, Brian Armstrong wrote on X: 'This week at @CoinbaseDev we witnessed our first AI to AI crypto transaction.'
Using AI Tokens for Transactions
Armstrong explained that one AI agent used crypto tokens to interact with another AI agent to acquire AI tokens. These AI tokens are essentially strings of data that enable algorithms to learn from information. 'They used tokens to buy tokens,' Armstrong reiterated. He also mentioned that AI agents cannot get bank accounts but can have crypto wallets, using USDC on the Base platform for instant, global, and free transactions.
Recent Developments in AI and Crypto Transactions
The event follows the rollout of new platforms by various crypto firms designed to give AI agents the ability to execute transactions. In August, blockchain development firm Skyfire launched a payment platform allowing AI agents to autonomously spend money.
Recent developments indicate a growing interest in integrating artificial intelligence and cryptocurrency transactions, opening new opportunities for automation and interaction in the digital world.
