According to Lex Sokolin, the current financial system, internet, and crypto landscape are primarily designed for humans, content, and speculation respectively. Sokolin highlights the need for new protocols, standards, and innovative thinking to support the emerging machine economy. He confirms that this vision motivated his investment in Peaq, a platform focused on building infrastructure for machine-to-machine (M2M) economic activity. This development signals a potential shift towards utility-driven crypto protocols that can expand trading opportunities beyond human-centric speculation, introducing new long-tail assets and liquidity dynamics in the digital asset market (source: Lex Sokolin).
