If AI + blockchain really become a true power couple, the machine economy will no longer be science fiction — but the giants monopolizing computing power, that’s something to keep a close eye on.

Ethereum co-founder Lubin pointed out that artificial intelligence will become a key turning point in the crypto industry. If computing power and infrastructure are controlled by a few tech giants, it could trigger systemic risks. AI agents may autonomously trade, collaborate, and verify on the blockchain, forming a machine economy, with decentralized technology ensuring transparency and accountability. The integration of finance and DeFi is accelerating, driving the global economy toward programmability. Although there are quantum computing risks, developers have already taken corresponding measures.
