Animoca Brands co-founder Yat Siu said at WebX 2026 in Tokyo that AI agents will need crypto wallets and ownership frameworks so the economic value they generate belongs to users rather than centralized platforms. He said the number of AI agents could reach 50 billion to 100 billion in the coming years. Animoca Brands is already testing the concept through its internal unit, Animoca Minds, which is operating hundreds of AI agents. The topic came up during a panel titled "AI, IP and the Future of Policy," where the discussion also linked AI agents to intellectual property and the creation of regulatory frameworks. The event was hosted by CoinPost and drew 13,641 participants from more than 90 countries, according to CryptoBriefing.
