- CZ says AI agents should use existing crypto for fees, not launch endless new tokens.
- Developers can integrate tokens based on APY, rewarding agents for usage and engagement.
- Focus on AI utility, not just token creation, to avoid diluting existing crypto value.
Binance’s former CEO, CZ, is advocating a pragmatic approach to the much hyped relationship between Artificial Intelligence (AI) agents and cryptocurrencies. AI agents have been touted as the new red-hot narrative in 2025, mainly due to the advancement of AI technology and their potential in the current financial frameworks.
While acknowledging cryptocurrencies’ vast potential as the exchange medium for AI agents, he believes not every agent needs its own token. The Binance co-founder is also against the trend of launching tokens for every AI agent purely on the hype. Instead, AI agents can use existing crypto to collect fees for their services.
He further urged users or builders to give emphasis on the practical applications and utility of AI agents and not just launch new tokens for the sake of it.
Many in the Binance community have supported this sentiment, agreeing that an endless stream of AI tokens could dilute the value of existing ones.
Totally agree with this. We (Users/Builders) keep flooding the market with more tokens and further diluting the value of ones already present. I believe there may be a few projects that already have this setup using a main token to power the AI ecosystem for other agents.
Binance AI Token Fees, Engagement, and Token Integration
Another, while agreeing on the excess influx of such tokens, suggests a system where developers rolling out AI agents can integrate existing, established cryptocurrencies instead of creating new tokens. This integration would be based on factors like Annual Percentage Yield (APY) or other potential returns.
If an AI agent is launched on a specific blockchain like BNB, a percentage of the fees goes to developers (10%) or the AI agents and say 5% to the creator platform. Now the creator platform can do monthly or quarterly rewards for the AI agents depending on criteria like most used (measured by fees) and most popular (through engagements).
This approach would reduce the growth of unnecessary tokens and foster an efficient and sustainable AI-crypto ecosystem.
