San Francisco is set to host the Agentic Finance Forum this week, bringing together industry leaders to delve into the rapidly evolving intersection of artificial intelligence (AI), traditional finance, and digital assets. The forum, co-hosted by Chandler Fang, FTDA_US, Ripple, and CambrianNetwork, will take place during Fintech Week SF, which runs from May 26 to 29, 2026. This event aims to define the practical applications of "agentic finance" in the modern financial landscape.
Chandler Fang, a Co-Founder of FTDA_US, Head of Strategy at CambrianNetwork, and an investor in Ripple, announced the event on social media, stating, > "Excited to co-host Agentic Finance Forum during Fintech Week SF alongside @FTDA_US, @Ripple, and @CambrianNetwork. We’ll discuss how AI, traditional finance, and digital assets are converging, and what agentic finance looks like in practice."
The forum's central theme, agentic finance, refers to the deployment of AI agents capable of making autonomous decisions and executing complex financial workflows with minimal human intervention. This advanced form of AI moves beyond generative AI by enabling independent perception, reasoning, and action, promising to revolutionize areas such as risk management, personalized financial services, and on-chain commerce. Financial institutions and fintech innovators are increasingly exploring these solutions to enhance efficiency and create new business models.
Ripple, a prominent co-host, is a key player in the digital asset space, focused on enabling the instant and seamless flow of value globally using blockchain and cryptocurrency technology. Their involvement underscores the critical role digital assets play in the future of agentic systems, particularly in facilitating real-time settlements and compliant stablecoin operations. The company provides solutions that allow financial institutions to operate across both traditional and digital assets securely.
Fintech Week SF itself is a city-wide series of events designed by The Financial Club to connect banks, fintechs, investors, and infrastructure leaders. It serves as a vital platform for exploring advancements in AI, stablecoins, identity, compliance, payments, and modern financial infrastructure. The Agentic Finance Forum is positioned as a significant gathering within this broader week, focusing specifically on the strategic implications and practical implementation of autonomous AI in finance.
Discussions at the forum are expected to cover how AI-optimized stablecoin flows, agentic on-chain commerce, and advanced fraud prevention will reshape financial products and risk systems. As agentic AI gains traction, with major banks and fintechs actively developing and deploying such systems, the forum will address both the opportunities and the emerging challenges, including regulatory considerations and liability in autonomous transactions.
