Agentic Commerce Is the Future
Hoskinson sees agentic commerce as one of the biggest opportunities for crypto adoption. He said AI agents will eventually handle everyday purchases and financial transactions for users.
Under this model, people could give an AI agent a budget and instructions. Meanwhile, the agent manages purchases automatically. Hoskinson expects this technology to become a major part of the economy by 2030. In his view, it could bring the next billion users into crypto.

Hoskinson said Midnight is expected to introduce agentic trading before the end of 2026. Users could create wallets for their AI agents and provide them with tokens. With these, those agents could trade across different platforms.
