Odaily Planet Daily reports that Electric Capital partner Avichal Garg pointed out that as AI agents become more autonomous, developers are beginning to configure crypto wallets for them, enabling software to hold assets, pay for services, trade tokens, and even hire other AI agents. This trend is pushing blockchain technology into a new phase—building financial systems for “non-human entities,” but the legal framework remains significantly behind. He believes that with blockchain’s programmable funds, real-time settlement, and global accessibility, AI agents can not only make decisions but also independently execute transactions, forming software entities capable of “thinking and performing financial activities.”
Garg stated that this model is similar to the emergence of the limited liability company system in the 19th century, which unlocked new productivity thresholds for economic activity. As participation costs continue to decrease, more individuals and teams worldwide can leverage AI agents to create economic value.
However, the core issue remains the definition of legal responsibility. Since AI itself cannot be punished, it is still unclear who should be held responsible if an AI agent with an independent wallet participates in transactions, lending, or commercial activities and causes losses. This issue may become a fundamental topic that future regulators must address.

When Bitcoin is still sitting uncertainly around the $70,000 mark, Wall Street—the global financial heart—has completed three resonances within 48 hours.
Three giants controlling the flow of global capital—NYSE, Nasdaq, and CME Group—have successively announced upgraded plans for business tokenization. Nasdaq is developing a tokenized collateral management solution, the NYSE and Securitize are collaborating to develop a tokenized securities platform, and CME Group has rolled out institutional “tokenized cash” settlement services.
With the three top exchanges moving on three fronts at once, and leveraging blockchain technology, they have carried out a deep overhaul of the world’s liquidity “pipeline.”
When traditional Wall Street incumbents actively embrace tokenization, the rules of the global capital markets game are being rewritten.
