Physical attacks on crypto holders (kidnappings, home invasions) have risen 75% year-over-year. Criminals are using public ledger data to target individuals in the real world. The transparency of public blockchains, once a feature, is becoming a physical liability for high-net-worth individuals. This creates a non-speculative, safety-driven demand for privacy technologies (specifically Zero-Knowledge Proofs) that allow value transfer without exposing net worth to local criminals. Long Privacy Infrastructure and ZK-rollups (like Starknet) as they transition from "regulatory evasion tools" to "personal safety necessities." Regulatory bodies may conflate personal privacy tools with money laundering facilitation despite the safety argument. |

Casey argues that as AI agents become autonomous, there will be a massive backlash demanding "Proof of Control." Corporations need to prove data sovereignty and that an agent is acting on their behalf. The technology stack that solves this is crypto-native: Zero-Knowledge Proofs (privacy/verification), Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs), and Decentralized Storage/Compute. These are not just "crypto" plays but essential "AI Compliance" infrastructure. LONG the infrastructure layer that bridges Crypto and AI (e.g., Filecoin, Render, Arweave, or ZK-focused protocols). Regulatory capture where governments mandate centralized, closed-source AI control systems instead of decentralized ones. |
