AI adoption is maturing faster than prior tech cycles, yet it still feels early innings A key point @0xfishylosopher highlights is the movement of builders from FinTech into agent-tailored products, and increasingly blockchain rails The best builders are migrating toward the same opportunity - I smell an inflection point
The Rollup@therollupco

Pantera Capital's @0xfishylosopher and @cosmo_jiang sat down with us to separate the real thesis from the noise on agentic finance. - Three things most people get wrong about agentic payments. - Why 'agent banking' is the actual category. - And the specific infrastructure stack that needs to exist before agents can handle money autonomously. Here's the breakdown.

Had an amazing time chatting with @cosmo_jiang on @therollupco on what "agentic finance" means and what to build in the space!

Always enjoy Haseeb’s willingness to have spirited debate. Summarizing my point - users don’t care about decentralization of their prediction markets. They want great product UX, with deep liquidity, and good pricing. Historical features of decentralizing prediction markets around market resolution are less desirable to consumers and they’d rather have a known arbitration of the event outcome. But, Haseeb brings up an important point that I do generally agree with - many exchanges (and tech businesses) initially gain market share by bending the rules of the status quo. Uber. Airbnb. Coinbase. Hyperliquid. Etc. However, I’m not sure that I’d say this requires decentralization per se vs risk appetite. Outside of truly onchain protocols that push operating control to users or other stakeholders (e.g Ethereum, Solana, Uniswap, Morpho) most businesses, even onchain ones, maintain material control of their operations.
Haseeb >|<@hosseeb

The line "decentralization doesn't matter" is getting repeated more and more these days. I recently broke out into debate on-stage with @masonnystrom about why decentralization was essential to prediction markets existing at all. It got heated. Worth the 5 minutes:

Crypto and AI aren't competing - they're complements. "AI is truly about abundance and more creation and crypto is inherently a technology that provides scarcity and verifiability." One needs what the other has. The convergence is inevitable.

Solana is the becoming the stablecoin market leader. Solana now leads all chains in adjusted stablecoin volume, according to @AlliumLabs — filtering out wash activity and CEX internal flows. February market share: Solana — 36% Ethereum — 30% Tron — 15% Base — 11%

AI agents aren't going to go down the street to an ionic column, marble bank to get a normal bank account, and transact in paper money. They have to use electronic money. So, as AI agents become more impactful, they have to use blockchain assets and that will just increase the demand for blockchain assets.
Pantera Capital@PanteraCapital

We’re witnessing a convergence of AI and crypto. AI agents can't walk into a bank, open an account, or transact in paper money. Crypto provides the financial rails for AI agents to exchange value online. As AI adoption grows exponentially, we believe crypto demand will follow naturally. @dan_pantera @bloomberg @crypto

Crypto is outperforming amid broader volatility because it was deeply oversold after October. @cosmo_jiang, General Partner at Pantera on @CNBC Crypto World: Bitcoin and digital assets traded at a discount to long-term trend and strong fundamentals while gold and speculative stocks ran hot. Now investors are returning to the safe-haven story: borderless, sovereignless, and untouched by geopolitical conflict. Interesting entry point emerging. @KenzieSigalos

Crypto won the weekend. While U.S. equities sat frozen during the Iran conflict, Bitcoin approached $74K and commodities found price discovery on Hyperliquid before traditional markets opened. This is the new normal, and it's just one signal that 2026 is the year crypto becomes invisible. In my latest letter, I explore the shift from crypto as a sector to crypto as a service, share my takeaways from Consensus HK, and explain why Pantera’s latest investments focus on utility over hype. veradiverdict.com/p/2026-the-inv…

My colleagues @cosmo_jiang and @SPLehman wrote a great piece here discussing OpenClaw and the role of blockchains for agentic commerce. Adding a few thoughts, as an OpenClaw user: - Whether its McKinsey or Stripe's framework, its become consensus that there are numerous "levels" to agentic commerce, just as there was to autonomous driving, and we're still early to the game. - In my mind, the agentic commerce progression will be along 3 distinct axes: (1) From URLs embeds to full automated checkout loop with agent SEO (ChatGPT x Shopify) (2) From micropayments (eg. for inference and API queries) to macropayments (Amazon/DoorDash/Expedia) (3) From agent-to-SaaS APIs (one sided marketplaces) to agent-to-agent payments (two sided marketplaces) - For these progressions to happen though, we need to solve three problems: identity, liquidity, and verification. - OpenClaw's various extensions/integrations already shows early signs of all 3 aspects using blockchain primitives: identity/authorization via ERC8004 (search for "claw" on 8004scan), liquidity via credit vaults and stablecoins (various agentic wallets), verification and guardrails via TEEs/MPC/FHE/ZKVMs etc. These are the most areas for agentic commerce builders today. Will be posting more content on this soon.

. @dan_pantera on @SquawkCNBC last Friday: Crypto at 50% discount to long-term trend, seventh percentile value vs. 8-year average. Oversold conditions are unfolding as BTC pushes toward $70k resistance. Clear above that level opens significant upside. No asset has rewarded 4-year Bitcoin holders every time. A fantastic time for multi-year positions. @JoeSquawk @andrewrsorkin
