    Ejaaz returns to break down the latest surge in AI Agent innovation alongside Ryan this week, covering the rapid evolution at the intersection of crypto and AI. They explore how AI agents are making onchain payments to each other, autonomously ordering real-world goods, and even running their own Ethereum validators. They also dive into the new frameworks and partnerships—like ai16z’s collaboration with Stanford and Virtuals’ explosive growth—propelling these agents into cultural, economic, and infrastructural prominence. Will autonomous AI agents fundamentally reshape crypto market dynamics, creating new paradigms for value and coordination that spark unprecedented growth?
