The Future of Money Movement in the Agentic Economy | Disrupt 2026

Stablecoins and instant payments are changing how money moves, and AI agents are beginning to make purchases on our behalf. At Disrupt 2026, Circle's Nikhil Chandhok, TabaPay's Rodney Robinson, and Emergence Capital's Lotti Siniscalco discussed what infrastructure the agentic economy will require and how new payment systems fit alongside traditional banking. The panel tackles the trust and regulatory hurdles that stand in the way of widespread adoption, from compliance questions to the safeguards needed when software, not people, initiates transactions. They also explore where founders and investors see the clearest opportunities as agent-driven commerce takes shape. For anyone building in fintech or payments, this session maps out the infrastructure decisions that will define how money moves in an economy increasingly run by autonomous agents.
