Crypto firms pursue AI agents as a new demand engine

The focus is on using AI agents to attract a new wave of users beyond traditional crypto activity, positioning agents as a second growth engine.

CNBC reports that crypto companies are moving into what it calls an infrastructure era, aiming to build a second growth engine by turning AI agents into the next wave of users.

The outlet says the strategy centers on using agents as a new demand driver for crypto platforms and services, rather than relying only on existing user behavior.

CNBC World delivers the same core message, framing AI agents as a potential shift in how crypto demand could be generated going forward.
