The Intersection of Artificial Intelligence and Cryptocurrency

According to Joe Lonsdale, co-founder of data analytics firm Palantir (PLTR), the rising presence of artificial intelligence (AI) in the economy could prove beneficial for the cryptocurrency market. Lonsdale suggests that AI agents, which are entities employing AI technology to execute specific tasks, may increasingly use cryptocurrencies in their financial transactions. Bitcoin$42,260 -0.64% {BTC}, Ethereum$2,315 -2.42% {ETH}, and Solana$104 5.03% {SOL} are likely to be their cryptocurrencies of choice.

The Impact of AI on the Crypto Economy

Lonsdale shared these views in an interview on CNBC's Squawk Box, where he emphasized the potential of AI agents in reshaping our economy. He predicted these agents might turn to cryptocurrencies as a medium of exchange in order to interact with incentive systems.

Palantir's Expectations for New Crypto Security Software

The entry of mainstream AI tools such as ChatGPT into the tech scene last year has sparked widespread conversations on the potential convergence of AI and cryptocurrencies.

The Driving Forces Behind Bitcoin's Price

Lonsdale also offered insights into what could potentially drive the price of Bitcoin now that spot ETFs have started trading in the U.S. He believes the macroeconomic backdrop plays a significant role in this regard.

Moving Forward: Economic Predictions

Regarding the future state of the economy, Lonsdale asked: Are we going to be in massive deficit in 2025-2026 and spending money without any restraint? If so, what asset is safe? He continued, If you have inflation come up again...that's a narrative I am hearing from many well-versed in macroeconomics. If this happens, we could see cryptocurrencies performing exceptionally well.
