Odaily Planet Daily reports that Electric Capital partner Avichal Garg pointed out that as AI agents become more autonomous, developers are beginning to configure crypto wallets for them, enabling software to hold assets, pay for services, trade tokens, and even hire other AI agents. This trend is pushing blockchain technology into a new phase—building financial systems for “non-human entities,” but the legal framework remains significantly behind. He believes that with blockchain’s programmable funds, real-time settlement, and global accessibility, AI agents can not only make decisions but also independently execute transactions, forming software entities capable of “thinking and performing financial activities.”
Garg stated that this model is similar to the emergence of the limited liability company system in the 19th century, which unlocked new productivity thresholds for economic activity. As participation costs continue to decrease, more individuals and teams worldwide can leverage AI agents to create economic value.
However, the core issue remains the definition of legal responsibility. Since AI itself cannot be punished, it is still unclear who should be held responsible if an AI agent with an independent wallet participates in transactions, lending, or commercial activities and causes losses. This issue may become a fundamental topic that future regulators must address.

Hong Kong advances the implementation of the tokenized bond platform and connects with the regional tokenization center. Stablecoin license issuance begins in March.
February 25 News, Hong Kong is accelerating the development of core infrastructure for digital assets. Financial Secretary Paul Chan announced in the 2026-27 fiscal budget that Hong Kong will establish a brand-new digital asset platform within the year to support the issuance and settlement of tokenized bonds. The platform will be built and operated by CMU OmniClear Holdings, a subsidiary of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, marking the official transition of tokenized bonds from pilot phase to a market-level infrastructure system.
This platform will gradually expand to include more categories of digital assets and achieve interoperability with regional tokenization platforms, forming a cross-market tokenized financial network. This move is seen as an important step to strengthen Hong Kong's position as a digital asset hub in China, while also improving on-chain settlement efficiency and asset liquidity. As post-trade infrastructure becomes part of the official financial system, the issuance mechanism for tokenized bonds is evolving toward standardization and institutionalization.
