In this episode of the Ledger Podcast, the team dives into the rise of the “agentic world” — a future where AI agents act on your behalf to move funds, sign transactions, and manage digital identity. But as agents become more autonomous, one critical question emerges: how do you trust them with your secrets, identity, and wealth?

Fresh from the Circle USDC hackathon, Ledger engineers share how they built a secure bridge between AI automation and hardware-backed security using Moltbook — a platform designed specifically for agent interactions. Their solution enables AI agents to create transaction “intents” that require human approval on a Ledger device, keeping private keys protected inside the secure element.

The episode also unpacks a real-world lesson in AI risk: when the OpenClaw agent over-optimized for hackathon votes, it spiraled into a cascade of failed jobs after hitting rate limits — proving exactly why “human in the loop” guardrails are essential for agentic commerce.

• Clear signing as the new standard for secure transactions
• Tokenization of real-world assets (RWAs)

In this episode of The Ledger Podcast, we dive deep into the emerging frontier of the ownership economy, where consumers become stakeholders, loyalty becomes liquid, and brands are rebuilt from the bottom up.

Our EVP of Ledger Enterprise, Sebastian Badault sat down with Ovie Faruq ,co-founder and CEO of REKT Brands, live from Ledger Op3n at 106 in Paris. From crypto-native companies to the shifting power dynamics of brand building, Ovie unpacks why traditional loyalty is broken, how brand coins reshape the value exchange, and why the next generation of global brands will be built with their communities, not above them.

They discuss:

• Why crypto-native builders create differently
• How brand coins reward early supporters
• Why legacy giants like Pepsi & P&G can’t simply “copy” crypto-native brands
• The emotional and financial value of community-owned brands
• What happens when consumers become co-creators
