🤖 Is ReFAI the future?
The year 2025 kicked off with a surge of interest in AI agents within the ReFi sector, giving rise to what’s now known as ReFAI: Regenerative AI Finance. Leading the charge are projects like ReFi Starter, Detrash, and RiFai Sicillia along with builders like TMO, Regenavocado, and Kevin Owocki. The big question remains: are AI agents delivering real-world use cases, or are we merely caught up in the hype? In the latest CARBON Copy newsletter, we explore AI agents and their practical applications, particularly in simplifying crypto interfacing for ReFi.
