According to CoinMeta, Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson stated at the 2026 Wyoming Blockchain Symposium that the crypto industry needs to move beyond the focus on traditional fast transactions, low-cost payments, and financial products in order to attract billions of new users and potentially trillions of dollars in capital. He believes that the industry must evolve to achieve this goal. Hoskinson believes that agent-based commerce is one of the greatest opportunities for the adoption of crypto, and it is expected that by 2030, AI agents will become an important part of the economy, capable of automatically handling daily purchases and financial transactions. He pointed out that users can provide budgets and instructions to AI agents, which will then automatically manage the purchases. In addition, Hoskinson also mentioned that as interoperability between blockchain networks and other technologies continues to increase, the crypto ecosystem is becoming less isolated, allowing companies to connect their existing systems with emerging blockchain infrastructure.
