## Resource

The rise of Agentic Dollars marks a new phase in the evolution of money, where stablecoins, artificial intelligence and programmable finance begin challenging the traditional power of central banks. As AI agents increasingly transact in digital dollars, monetary sovereignty, policy effectiveness and national economic independence may come under pressure. This article examines how programmable money could reshape global finance, expand the reach of the US dollar, and trigger a new currency war fought through software, networks and financial infrastructure rather than banks alone
