AI × Crypto
AI × Crypto is the most underserved category in mainstream crypto news. LeoDex News covers the intersection: AI agents settling payments on blockchain rails (Keyrock's $73M data shows this is no longer theoretical), autonomous DeFi protocols, AI infrastructure spend by mining-adjacent companies (IREN, CoreScientific, Galaxy), and the data-economics question of what AI training corpora are worth on-chain.
The most interesting stories aren't "AI token rallies 40%" — they're "what is actually happening when a billion AI-agent transactions cross a stablecoin payment rail." We cover the mechanism, the players, and the regulatory questions raised when autonomous software agents become economic actors. Stablecoins are quietly becoming the default settlement layer for the agent economy; we're tracking it as it happens.
