At the Token2049 event, Aptos Labs CEO, Avery Ching, presented a realistic yet groundbreaking perspective: a world where AI agents can seamlessly interact with blockchain-based assets, unlocking the potential for a smart and decentralized economy.
According to Ching, the core value of AI in the cryptocurrency field is not just about fleeting trends, but lies in the ability to manage both cryptocurrency native assets and real assets encoded on the blockchain. He asserts, 'There is no reason why real estate, stocks, bonds, money market funds, or IPO companies cannot be transferred to the blockchain.'
The future of personalized finance and on-chain lending
Ching envisions a future where AI agents can build personalized investment portfolios for each user, based on their individual financial goals. As more real assets are encoded, AI will have the opportunity to leverage a wealth of data to optimize financial decisions effectively and at scale.
At the same time, the encoding of assets such as real estate can also open up new opportunities for decentralized finance (DeFi), including using these assets as collateral for loans.
AI becomes popular and blockchain is the 'anchor of truth'
Ching predicts that AI agents will become as ubiquitous as smartphones, with each person potentially owning multiple AIs to support various needs. He also emphasizes the critical role of blockchain in combating misinformation by storing verified and encoded content versions. This helps protect the integrity and accuracy of information in the context of deepfakes and increasing fake information.
Ching's vision does not merely view blockchain as a tool for transferring value, but also shapes it as a core infrastructure platform for an AI-driven economy in the future.
