At Token2049 2025, Aptos CEO Avery Ching shared his vision of a future where AI agents can manage not just cryptocurrencies but also real-world tokenized assets.
AI and Future of Asset Management
Avery Ching believes that the real shift will occur when AI agents start managing both crypto-native assets and tokenized assets such as real estate and bonds. He suggests that allowing users to entrust their digital capital to AI will open new frontiers for personalized financial planning.
Tokenization Potential with AI
Ching notes that tokenization has already enabled once-illiquid assets like real estate and stocks to be represented as digital products. He emphasizes that significant industry skills from AI are needed to fully interact with these tokenized instruments, facilitating more personalized investment strategies.
Future of Decentralized Finance
Ching also discusses the future of decentralized finance, suggesting that tokenized assets could be used as collateral in DeFi. He talks about the possibility of securing loans instantly with tokenized real estate, greatly simplifying the borrowing process and reducing the need for intermediaries.
Avery Ching emphasizes that the connection between AI and tokenized assets could reshape the financial market, making it more accessible and convenient for users.
