TechFlow News, June 17: Han Feng, an independent researcher at Harvard University, Corresponding Academician of the National Academy of Artificial Intelligence (NAAI) in the United States, and Lifetime Member of the Bitcoin Foundation, appeared as a guest on Huobi HTX’s “Distinguished Experts Lecture Series” (Episode 3). Under the theme “From H2A to A2A,” he shared his insights on Agent Economics, crypto infrastructure, and the future development of digital society.
Han Feng stated that AI Agents are driving the evolution of economic models—from Human-to-Agent (H2A) toward Agent-to-Agent (A2A). As AI gains capabilities for autonomous decision-making, collaboration, and transaction execution, Agent Economics is poised to emerge as a novel economic system surpassing the scale of human-driven economies. He emphasized that Agent Economics features transparency, verifiability, and low friction—essentially constituting a “frictionless economy”—with cryptocurrencies and stablecoins serving as its natural medium of value exchange.
Han Feng noted that Bitcoin and its derivative stablecoin ecosystem align closely with the developmental logic of Agent Economics. Large-scale value exchange, collaboration, and settlement among AI agents will be best supported by open, transparent, trustless, and globally operational crypto-financial infrastructure. Furthermore, AI + Web3 will be one of the most critical development directions over the next decade—and represents the core use case for cryptocurrency’s true large-scale real-world adoption.
