Robby Yung runs Animoca Brands' investment business — 650 portfolio companies across Web3. At Paris Blockchain Week 2026, he sits with Alex Richardson to argue blockchain's real product-market fit was always agentic commerce, not human consumer apps. Plus the iTunes "false promise" of digital ownership, why 6 billion gamers are the natural mass-adoption vector, and how RWAs bridge the physical and AI-managed worlds.

We cover:

- Why crypto's real customer was always AI agents

- Digital property rights and the iTunes false promise

- Gaming as the mass-adoption vector
