    Cloudflare CEO Says AI Agent Traffic Could Be 1,000X Human Traffic in Five Years

    Cloudflare CEO Matthew Prince sits down with CoinDesk's Jennifer Sanasie to explain why the internet as we know it is about to be rewritten. Prince reveals that AI agent traffic has already overtaken human traffic online, more than a year ahead of his own forecast, and he predicts it will be 1,000 times larger within five years. He breaks down why agents don't click on ads, why Cloudflare needs a payments system that can handle more than 100 times Visa's volume, and why today's blockchains are "three orders of magnitude" too slow to power it. He also explains why AI agents could actually bring privacy back to the internet. - This episode is brought to you by Grayscale, the world's largest digital asset-focused investment platform.

    Patrick McHenry Sees a Lame-Duck Window for CLARITY

    CoinDesk's The Policy Protocol hosts Rebecca Rettig and Renato Mariotti open on a busy policy week from the UK's FCA opening its crypto firm authorization process to the SEC's new staff FAQ on crypto asset classification, and Robinhood's launch of AI agents that trade for retail customers. They then sit down with former House Financial Services Committee Chairman Patrick McHenry, who argues the CLARITY Act stalled in the Senate because of election-year politics rather than substance and could still get done in the post-midterm lame duck, and weighs in on who should be accountable when an AI trading agent goes wrong and on the Supreme Court fight over sports prediction markets. Plus, Rebecca and Renato debrief on the SEC's shrinking commissioner ranks and name departing Commissioner Hester Peirce as their Person of the Week. - This episode is brought to you by Grayscale, the world's largest digital asset-focused investment platform.
