Chainlink Paves the Way for Agentic AI in Financial Markets

Chainlink co-founder Sergey Nazarov joined J.P. Morgan and GLEIF for a Sibos session titled 'Future of Value: Part Two,' which covered agentic AI in custody and asset servicing.

The core topic was what happens when an AI starts acting like a market participant, not just an advisor.

An AI agent that only advises is simple; it suggests, a human approves, then a transaction occurs. However, an agent that acts differently can receive instructions, evaluate data, and initiate a transaction on its own.

This shift raises new questions around authorization, custody, identity, and compliance.
