The intersection of cryptocurrency and artificial intelligence is accelerating, with new infrastructure enabling autonomous agents to trade and transact on blockchain rails. In the latest developments, trading platform CoinQuant has expanded its no-code architecture to serve AI agents, while Solana strengthens its grip on agentic payments, now processing 65% of all such transactions.
CoinQuant, which has attracted over 15,000 users since launch, allows traders to describe strategies in plain English and turn them into complete algorithmic trading systems, including entries, exits, position sizing, and risk rules. The platform now extends these capabilities to autonomous AI agents, enabling them to deploy, test, and execute crypto strategies without human intervention at each step. "I spoke one idea into CoinQuant, ran the test, and launched a bot on my lunch break," said Alex K., a software engineer using the platform, highlighting the ease of use that the company now opens to the agent economy.
The move targets a rapidly growing market. According to research firm Keyrock, AI agents settled more than $73 million across 176 million blockchain transactions in the twelve months through April 2026. CoinQuant positions itself as the intelligence layer for this economy, with over a million potential autonomous trading agents active across crypto markets.
Meanwhile, Solana has emerged as the dominant blockchain for agentic payments. In a recent "Solana Stories" video, the network revealed it now commands 65% of payments made by AI agents, up from 49% in March 2026. The growth is attributed to Solana's speed and low costs, as well as its vibrant ecosystem. Vibhu Norby, Chief Product Officer at Solana Foundation, noted that "agents like to use crypto, because it's just code, and they are code."
The x402 internet payments standard, developed by Coinbase and Google, has been a key catalyst. It enables pay-per-use commerce via stablecoins without human intervention, making it ideal for machine-to-machine micropayments. While x402 is chain-agnostic and integrated by networks like Hedera, Algorand, MultiversX, and Stellar, Solana has pulled far ahead. Joe Lonsdale of 8VC remarked, "The agents seem to prefer Solana just from what they see and learn."
As AI agents increasingly act as independent economic participants, the convergence of no-code strategy creation and autonomous payment infrastructure signals a structural shift in how digital value is created and moved. With Solana leading the payment rails and platforms like CoinQuant providing the trading brains, the agent economy is moving from experiment to reality.
