DePIN: When Machines Start Paying Each Other



ree

Dubai’s Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA) and the private sector partnered on a new project where machines pay each other without human intervention.


We all know by now, that AI already shifting the focus away from UX where humans are targeted to buy, but this new method, where AI is selling or transferring funds to other devices such as cars, drones, or chargers, represents an entirely new way of seeing payments and banking.


The plan is that entire sensor networks can transact autonomously, earning tokens for data, paying for resources, and creating value flows without any human involvement.


In traditional finance, transactions move through accounts owned by people or companies, and banks ensure that every movement of money comes from a verified source. DePIN replaces this structure entirely.


In this new project, any machine can execute transfers, such as a self-driving car paying tolls or an energy node selling excess electricity and crediting a stablecoin wallet instantly.


The current payment and banking system was built for human activity, not for autonomous assets, so it causes serious headaches for regulators, where the challenge is how to fit this into the global financial system.


Mastering how money moves between machines and what regulators allow and block determines who leads and who falls behind in this new age. Payment and banking knowledge has never been more important.
