Arthur Hayes, Maelstrom CIO and ex-BitMEX CEO, argues that AI-powered Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) will revolutionize economic entities, making traditional structures obsolete due to their reliance on human labor and state-enforced contracts.
He asserts AI DAOs, unfettered by physical forms and therefore state laws, will use smart contracts on public blockchains for self-governance and service provision.
Hayes predicts that DAO capital markets will become the first genuinely global markets and decentralized exchanges will naturally monopolize the trading of DAO-issued tokens.
Hayes sees a future trillion-dollar AI-powered economy that would significantly boost the value of blockchains like Ethereum.
