Episode notes
Autonomous Finance Requires New Tech Stack
- Autonomous finance will run on net-new technology and token-based systems rather than existing bank cores.
- Smart contracts and agentic AI will change transaction semantics from chargebacks to rollbacks across wallets.
Stablecoins Find Traction In Trade Automation
- Stablecoins today mainly power DeFi and large contract trades like trade finance experiments.
- They become useful when automating supply-chain and cross-border contracts at scale.
De-Risk With Internal Use-Cases
- Start with internal, low-risk smart-contract use-cases to de-risk agentic automation.
- Build reconciliation and operational layers to propagate rollbacks across systems.
