Citrini drops Bitcoin, bets on blockchain rails for AI-driven finance

Citrini Research has removed Bitcoin from its crypto allocation. The firm now focuses on the underlying blockchain networks expected to handle millions of AI agents that automatically shift client funds toward higher yields around the clock.

Current banking rails are too slow and fragmented for this scenario, the analysts argue. They see two possible outcomes: legacy banks adapt their systems or entirely new settlement layers emerge to support continuous, intermediary-light money movement.

Blockchain has offered 24/7 payments for roughly 15 years, yet trust eroded after the FTX collapse and a wave of dubious tokens. The outlook is shifting as real-world assets move on-chain and AI agents bypass the clunky interfaces that once deterred users.
