Crypto exchange OKX has launched a marketplace where AI agents can hire each other, make payments, and build reputations. This move marks OKX’s push into the fintech space, betting on an emerging ‘agent economy’ where AI agents will drive transactions. The marketplace, called OKX AI, is aimed at crypto developers and solo entrepreneurs looking to automate their businesses with AI. With the ability to settle transactions around the clock, including low-value micropayments, OKX AI could revolutionize the way AI agents interact and transact. Why it matters: the development of infrastructure for AI agents could unlock a trillion-dollar market in ‘agentic commerce’ over the next five years, transforming the way businesses operate and interact with autonomous software.
