Why the Internet Needs a Native Economic Layer: Nikhil Chandok on The Milk Road Show

Circle CPTO Nikhil Chandok, in an interview on The Milk Road Show, discusses the necessity of a native economic layer for the internet and the transformative role of AI in online activities. He highlights that while the internet provided a global platform for information exchange, it lacks a unified system for financial transactions, which currently rely on a complex and inefficient network unsuited for global and automated interactions. As AI agents increasingly dominate online tasks, Chandok argues for the development of open, programmable, and universally accessible monetary systems, emphasizing the importance of decentralization to prevent control by any single entity. His insights reflect Circle's commitment to fostering open infrastructure and preparing for a future where economic and information exchanges are seamlessly integrated, enhancing global financial accessibility and prosperity.
