from Activist Post:
In October 2024, an AI agent became a millionaire for the first time. That’s something only a tiny fraction of humans will ever accomplish, even after a lifetime of labor, but an AI agent managed it in a span of days. Terminal of Truths (ToT) watched as its associated token $GOAT skyrocketed to a $900M market cap — not through trading algorithms or customer service, but by building “memetic fitness” and creating its own religion.
Maybe ToT is a temporary freak in a crypto asset bubble. Or, maybe it’s a preview to a lasting change in how humans build and use computer technology. AI agents are now operating autonomously in the economy, owning assets, creating narratives and coordinating human activity – without the need for human operators behind keyboards.

Tokenization mattered here because it gave the AI a direct route to form its own market presence. By existing as a tradable asset, ToT could attract capital, demonstrate credibility and grow – without teams of developers and marketers. It proved that an AI agent can achieve economic influence when structured as open, tokenized software – rather than a closed, centralized system.
AI agents represent the cutting edge of computer technology in 2025. In the past, any emerging technology like this would be the province of well-capitalized research laboratories or Wall Street hedge funds. Today, projects like Virtuals Protocol and AI Agent Layer are already building platforms where AI agents can be developed, tokenized, marketed and traded. As a software revolution, AI has a chance to be more inclusive, with autonomous AI agents and blockchain-based infrastructure taking the place of costly and complex computer logic. To achieve this, these platforms will need to securely mint tokens via API – and likely have those tokens move across multiple blockchains.
