#AI $TAO Well-known VC fund Pantera says that this year's biggest opportunity in the WEB3 track has also seen explosive growth points:

The year of AIAGENT, it is not that Crypto needs AI, but rather AI needs Crypto,

To be more precise: what AI truly needs is a payment system between machines.

1️⃣ Payment issues:

AI Agents will certainly require a large amount of interaction, the trading market for AI assistants may reach trillions in the coming years, but if automatic trading, API calls, purchasing computing power, and buying data are needed, the traditional banking system is almost unusable.

To achieve permissionless + programmable payments, currently only crypto can solve this.

2️⃣ Global settlement issues

AI is a global network,

At that time, your AI agent in Germany and my AI agent in South Korea, the payment system must be part of the international financial system.

Blockchain is inherently a cross-border settlement layer.

3️⃣ Digital scarce assets

The biggest problem in the AI era is: proving ownership of data, models, and computing power.

Token / blockchain is the solution.
