Franklin Templeton Digital Assets expressed excitement about the interaction between AI agents and blockchains, particularly highlighting the recent gains of AI16z and Virtuals Protocol tokens. AI16z, an investment DAO run by AI agents, has seen an 18% increase in its native token's value over the past day, reaching $1.30. Binance announced plans to launch perpetual futures contracts trading for AI16z. Similarly, Virtuals Protocol's VIRTUAL token, launched on the Ethereum layer-2 network Base, has risen by 15% to $2.98. Despite recent slowdowns, both tokens have rebounded as the wider crypto market recovers. Franklin Templeton believes that while AI agents are not yet fully autonomous or highly useful, the sector holds substantial promise.
