Australia’s Treasury has identified artificial intelligence as one of five major transitions expected to reshape the country’s economy over the next 40 years. The long-term outlook acknowledges the potential significance of the AI revolution, but does not address cryptocurrency or broader digital-asset infrastructure. Coinbase said the omission was notable because AI agents may eventually require digital financial systems to operate. The comments point to a gap between the report’s focus on major economic transitions and the infrastructure that could support autonomous AI-driven activity. The Treasury outlook does not, however, include crypto among the transitions highlighted in the source material. The development may be relevant to digital-asset markets, including APE, ASTR, BAS, OMI, MED, MON and ONG, although no direct market impact or policy change was reported.
