Galaxy Digital Says AI Agent Growth Drives Need for Proof of Personhood

By Public Technologies
  • Galaxy Digital warned growing AI agent use threatens online business models, increasing the need to verify distinct users without revealing identities.
  • Automated traffic exceeded 53% of web traffic in 2025, up from 51% a year earlier, according to figures cited in the report.
  • Agents can consume publisher content without generating referral traffic or ad impressions, adding pressure to advertising-dependent businesses.
  • Existing agent signatures and payment mandates do not establish whether distinct people stand behind accounts, leaving platforms exposed to manipulation.
  • The report favors portable, privacy-preserving personhood credentials to enforce per-person limits without widespread identity checks.
