David and Ejaaz dissect the latest in AI crypto markets after a ruthless 70% drop, weighing whether it’s just a temporary setback or a major reset. Arc and Fartcoin show surprise rebounds, Virtuals unveils a $2M “fiscal policy” to fund agent innovation, and Coinbase’s AI hackathon spotlights a future swarming with yield-bots and marketing agents. Meanwhile, Freya’s vision of sovereign on-chain AI may mark the next frontier. If you’re tracking the evolution of agents, markets, and where crypto’s AI boom goes next, this episode is a must-listen (as always, anon).
