Banking the Agent Economy - Token 2049

Who Gives an AI Agent a Bank Account?

AI agents can purchase services, move money and coordinate work, but autonomous commerce cannot scale on financial infrastructure built for humans.

Who verifies an agent? What can it spend? How does it hold assets, access liquidity and remain accountable?

Banking the Agent Economy is a curated event exploring the financial stack behind autonomous commerce.

It brings together founders, operators, investors and infrastructure leaders across AI, payments, stablecoins and digital asset infrasturcture.

Join focused conversations on how agents will transact safely and autonomously - followed by closing drinks with the people building and funding the agent economy.

Attendance is limited and subject to approval.
