Should AI's be legally allowed to own wealth?

I appreciate @random_walker's distinction between AI capability and AI power.

Power  = ability to modify the environment 

Capability  = capacity to solve specified tasks 

Power is the external levers we give AI— API keys, bank accounts, legal personhood, autonomy to act.

The thing is, as long as crypto exists AIs will never have to ask for human permission to own wealth. Crypto can be their property rights system.

So practically, does making AI wealth illegal mean making crypto illegal? Every economic transaction requiring identity and proof of humanity from a nation state sanctioned commerce system?

There are many attractor basins for authoritarian dystopia as we seek to reign in the power of AI systems. Sometimes the remedy is worse than the disease.
