OKX Founder Star Xu Posts That Finance is Migrating On-Chain, AI Agents Becoming Economic Participants, Currently Still in Early Stage
OKX Founder Points to Two Major Structural Changes
OKX founder Star Xu posted that two major structural changes are underway: finance is migrating on-chain, and AI agents are becoming economic participants.
Both require native digital assets and on-chain financial infrastructure, and are still in the early stages.
The viewpoint is event-driven, with the market focusing on long-term narratives, and capital paying attention to the intersection of on-chain and AI opportunities, benefiting Bitcoin and on-chain infrastructure, while traditional off-chain financial models are under pressure.

Star Xu has long advocated for "everything on-chain" and self-custody. OKX recently launched AI agent-related products, further integrating agent settlement with on-chain payments.
On the capital path, exchanges are promoting the tokenization of TradFi assets and AI economic participation, directing resources towards compliant infrastructure and user education, motivated by the desire to expand the use cases and trading demand for native digital assets.
Similar cases can be seen where institutions position Bitcoin as a digital reserve asset, currently in the early expansion phase of the integration of on-chain finance and AI agent economy.
Essentially, this is a technological replacement, as AI agents cannot access traditional banking systems, forcing value transfer towards permissionless on-chain native assets.

Once AI becomes an economic participant, it only recognizes on-chain
The early stage is the biggest opportunity window
