AI Agents Could Threaten Traditional Banks | Joseph Chalom
Description
What happens when AI agents start managing your money and who will actually control them?
Joseph Chalom, CEO of Sharplink, joins Crypto in America to explain why Ethereum, stablecoins, tokenization, and artificial intelligence could fundamentally reshape Wall Street.
Joseph shares why he left BlackRock’s digital asset team' to later build an Ethereum-focused treasury company, what institutional investors are getting wrong about blockchain infrastructure, and how AI agents could transform banking, investing, and personal finance.
But there's a bigger question: Will this financial revolution give consumers more control or create a new generation of powerful gatekeepers?
