The encrypted data company Textile has announced a merger with 3Box Labs, expanding into the AI agent business. The combined entity will retain the Textile brand and be led by current CEO Andrew Hill. The two companies, which previously received investments from institutions such as USV, CoinFund, and Multicoin, totaling over $42 million, had product overlaps and will now jointly build blockchain data infrastructure.

The new company plans to create a "multi-agent economy smart layer" to provide data storage, access, and verification services to AI agents. Hill emphasized that blockchain provides a natural platform for AI agent operations, enabling data interaction between agents and alpha transactions.

The merger comes as the crypto industry continues to evolve, with projects like Solana's on-chain AI social project $SSE breaking market caps and attracting attention. Meanwhile, the SEC has announced the top ten priorities of its crypto working group, highlighting the growing regulatory focus on the sector.
