Citrini Highlights AI Financial Stocks and Coins: 8 Listed Companies, 1 ETF, 15 Coins
[Block Media Reporter Lee Jeong-hwa] Citrini Research published a report on the 8th (local time) stating that AI agent finance will change the paradigm of digital asset investment, attracting significant market attention.
The report spans 79 pages and includes a portfolio of companies and coin projects that could benefit from the rise of AI agent finance.
Citrini predicts that companies and projects that receive actual fees from the tokenization of real-world assets (RWA) and on-chain financial transactions will be the true beneficiaries, rather than just the price increases of Bitcoin (BTC) or Ethereum (ETH).
