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

• 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.
