> Sounds like we need Proof Of Humanity + KYA to separate good from bad bots.
This is one path
Another is to charge per API (e.g. via x402) and not care who is calling it
Likely both will coexist

Yes - but here's where there's many solutions and nothing becoming widely adopted - yet
SEC CHAIR ATKINS: WE WILL PROPOSE ‘REG CRYPTO’ FOR TOKEN FUNDRAISING SOON UNDER ‘33 ACT, WILL BE OPEN FOR COMMENT
ATKINS: WILL SOON HAVE “INNOVATION EXEMPTION” FOR USE OF DEFI UNDER ‘34 ACT
“agentic payments” are uninspiring compared to agents needing trust properties (which enable payments) because they have no ability to implicitly trust like humans do without a technical layer that provides credible unruggable trust to identify, trade, and prove.

Such a good piece. Must reading.
In both cases, the banking lobby is arguing that novel instruments that benefit consumers – whether fully reserved depositories or interest-bearing stablecoins – pose a risk to the banking system and bank deposits. A more accurate description would be that skinny master accounts and interest-bearing stablecoins pose a risk to banks’ monopoly over payments.
SNEAK PEEK: Your agents are about to get their own agentic cards.
Not stablecoin backed cards. Not insecure raw card number sharing, but native, agent first cards powered by @Visa Intelligent Commerce.
String Theory is one of the few frameworks that tries to describe Quantum Physics and Gravity in the same mathematical language.
In this animation, the glowing loop is the string, the shifting color along it represent its quantum vibration modes, and the surrounding fabric is a proxy for Spacetime responding.
When you quantize a string, one of its vibration modes behaves like a graviton. So, geometry shows up as part of the same quantum system.
