OKX has launched its Agentic Wallet, a new crypto wallet designed specifically for artificial intelligence agents to autonomously execute onchain transactions. The wallet expands OKX's Onchain OS toolkit into execution and asset management, enabling AI systems to carry out transactions across nearly 20 blockchain networks without manual user interaction.
The product operates within a Trusted Execution Environment (TEE), ensuring private keys remain isolated from the AI model itself to address security concerns. Transactions are initiated via natural language inputs, after which the system simulates the outcome and presents a summary with a risk classification before execution. Critical transactions are blocked, adding a control layer. The wallet supports multiple blockchains including Ethereum and Solana.
Jason Lau, Chief Innovation Officer at OKX, stated, "AI agents are becoming active participants in financial markets, and they need infrastructure built for them – not adapted from tools designed for humans. OKX Agentic Wallet closes the gap between what an AI agent can envision and what it can actually do onchain."
Simultaneously, MoonPay has launched the Open Wallet Standard, an open-source framework under an MIT license to standardize how AI agents use crypto wallets. The standard provides a universal interface for wallet creation, key management, and transaction signing across multiple blockchains, and crucially prevents AI agents from directly accessing private keys during operations.
The initiative has garnered support from more than 15 major organizations, including PayPal, OKX, Ripple, Circle, the Ethereum Foundation, and the Solana Foundation. MoonPay CEO Ivan Soto-Wright commented, "The agent economy has payment rails, and it did not have a wallet standard."
The framework supports EVM-compatible chains like Ethereum, Base, Polygon, and Arbitrum, as well as Solana, Bitcoin, TON, Tron, and Sui networks. MoonPay reported that over 340,000 on-chain wallets belonged to AI agents in Q1 2026, highlighting the growing need for such infrastructure.
These developments signal a significant industry shift towards treating AI agents as active financial market participants. Market research estimates the AI-crypto sector could grow from $5.1 billion in 2025 to $55.2 billion by 2035, with AI agents potentially handling 30% of crypto transactions by that time.
