Wall Street tech analyst Dan Ives expressed on Monday his excitement and vision for his new role as chairman of Eightco Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:OCTO), a firm that has adopted World (WLD) as its primary reserve asset.
‘Intersection’ Of AI And Crypto
During an interview with CNBC, Ives, a senior research analyst at Wedbush Securities, said he was “excited” to take over the role, given his “passion” for AI and the potential of the decentralized identity verification project.
“When you think about these Orb devices, the iris scanning, in my opinion, is going to be the de facto standard when we think about separating from bots, identifying humans. And ultimately, this is really more of an infrastructure play. It’s really the intersection of AI and crypto,” Ives said.
