AI Agents Drive Stablecoin-Based Financial Rails

Vincent Chok, CEO of First Digital, says autonomous AI agents require digital-native payment rails such as stablecoins and smart contracts to transact continuously and independently. He describes First Digital’s Finance District enabling FDUSD real-time settlements and cites UAE developments — AE Coin licensed in 2024 and deployed by mid-2025 — as practical examples. The shift creates demand for KYA protocols, cryptographic guardrails, and cross-border compliance.
