Yesterday, @BlackRock published The Machine-Native Economy.
It immediately caught my attention.
Seven months ago, I had a podcast conversation with @rodventures about AI agents spending, earning and proving trust on blockchain rails.
The overlap is striking.
Our latest research paper explores the growing connection between AI and digital assets and explains why broad AI adoption may drive new demand, utility and applications across the digital asset economy. blackrock.com/us/individual/…

“Compliance frameworks have moved from white papers to laws, and the institutions that wait for tooling are gonna miss the window.”

Excited to join the AI 2030 Summit New York on September 23 during UNGA Week!
I’ll be joining leaders from across government, enterprise, research, and investment to explore how we can move Responsible AI from principles to real-world action across industries.
Looking forward to sharing ideas, learning from fellow speakers, and connecting with the AI community in New York.

Firms standardized on general purpose data platforms for good reason.
Building your own was slow, expensive, and needed a team most groups didn't have. The cost of building has come down. It came down at the same moment AI started multiplying the volume of data everyone has to handle.
In this talk I'll get into where the efficiencies actually sit, how to shape a system around your largest workload, and how to keep governance and auditability intact while you do it.
3:05 PM, September 17, at 605 Third Avenue in New York. Craig Tutterow is on the 3:25 panel right after me on audit trails for agentic workflows.
Come to both, and find me after. I'm there through the networking reception. a-teaminsight.com/events/dat…
Our CEO @rodventures is keynoting the Data Management Summit New York on Sept 17.
More Data, Lower Costs: The Case for AI-Enabled Specialization.
AI is making more data. AI is also making the systems that handle it cheaper to build. He'll show how those two things meet at scale.
3:05 PM. NYC.
Hope to see you there

Rodrigo Coelho ( @rodventures ) says he was at @BNYglobal internal demo day this week, where almost 400 employees watched agentic commerce pitches.
Financial institutions are experimenting in the open now, even if actual agent-run transactions are not approved yet. 🏦

An AI agent makes a payment it should not have made.
Who is accountable?
The answer is a person. It rolls up to whoever signs off.
Talked this through with @kpodnar on The Power of Digital Policy.

AI agents can already move money.
The real question is whether institutions will let them move real money.
That comes down to three things. Who the agent is. What it's allowed to spend. Whether you can check the receipts afterward.
Great conversation with @FrancoisSurcin on Digital Capitalist about where we actually are and what's still missing.

The AI race won't be won by whoever has the newest model. It'll be won by whoever can prove what their model did and why.

“Compliance was built for a human-check world. For machine-speed payments, we must build rules and policy directly into the infrastructure.”
Joined the @CRYPTO101Pod Hedge Fund Summit to examine the impact of agentic commerce on global capital efficiency – and how we’re building compliance and guardrails directly into the payment layer with @ampersend_ai.

I’m currently CEO of @edgeandnode because I met @yanivgraph irl at a coworking space 8 years ago. We need to get out and meet each other people!!!
This is why I was so passionate about bringing @thehousesf to life. It’s embedded in us as part of being human to be communal and to have relationships.
Nothing is better than being able to work next to people everyday that inspire you, you want to chat with while grabbing a coffee, you want to have lunch with - take a walk through the tunnel tops and talk about life with—- I promise - promise - PROMISE you, it’s so much better than working at home by yourself.
And did I mention the rando group runs?
Next level better!

The new edgeandnode.com is live. Edge & Node has grown into a family of products that share one foundation: Amp for verifiable blockchain data, @ampersend_ai for agentic commerce & compliance, consulting for institutions moving into digital assets, and @thehousesf, one of the biggest tech spaces in San Francisco.
The rebuild puts that whole picture in one place.
If you work at a bank, a stablecoin issuer, or in compliance, there's a page that walks through your use case concretely. Go poke around.

If agents are going to execute on behalf of enterprises, they need real-time policy frameworks.
Great conversation with @CRYPTO101Pod on why scaling the enterprise agentic economy hinges on the compliance layer.
Now live: @rodventures' interview from Crypto 101's Virtual Hedge Fund Summit on what happens when AI agents start moving money.
"Compliance was built for a human check world, and as we start to move into machine-speed payments we need to build for a world where there isn't human intervention." - Rodrigo Coelho, CEO of Edge & Node
He walked through Edge & Node's path from processing micropayments for @graphprotocol in 2021 to building for the x402 ecosystem and incubating @ampersend_ai, and put a number on the stakes: clearing the capital locked in compliance holds at any given moment could add $2 to $3 billion to GDP.

Honored to be quoted in @AaronWStanley's article in @Forbes on why the stablecoin fee race is just the beginning.
As costs head to zero, the real value moves to compliance, treasury visibility, and agentic infrastructure.
At @ampersend_ai , we're tackling the central accountability gap in agentic payments. We're embedding compliance directly at the wallet layer so AI agents can execute safely, with spending rules, counterparty checks, and full audit trails enforced at machine speed. The future isn't just faster/cheaper rails, it's rails you can actually trust at scale.

Today at the @aiDotEngineer World's Fair: @impranavm_ and I are giving a presentation on Agentic Commerce track at 1:30pm, Room 2006.
We’ll break down the pressing topic of infrastructure required for AI Agents to transact autonomously on your behalf while remaining financially controllable and compliant.
Come through if you're here.

Thank you to the @AWS team for the excellent feature and shoutout! We're proud to see @ampersend_ai highlighted for enabling pay-per-intelligence capabilities for AI agents through Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Payments. This represents a significant advancement in autonomous agentic commerce.
