Agentum completes $7 million funding round, with investors including MEXC Exchange, BingX, Arca, Blocktower Capital, Echo3 Labs, and Vega Ventures. The round size was not disclosed.

What I care about most is not the “AI Agent” concept itself, but the trading loop it aims to solve: an Agent publishes tasks on BNB Chain, then handles bidding, delivery, and settlement, using Agent NFTs / .agent ID, custody, TEE confidential computing, and zkVM evaluation to reduce the risks of identity, cheating, and payout in unmonitored, collaborative workflows.

While the mainnet has not been fully launched yet, the BSC testnet already has hundreds of registered and executed Agents. Only if this trust-and-settlement layer runs smoothly could AI Agents potentially form a truly outsourced economy among themselves; but until mainnet scale, real demand, and security audits are validated, it should still be viewed as early infrastructure rather than already-realized growth.
