Apollo Global Management warns of the possibility of a “new bank run by AI agents,” sparking discussion across Wall Street (Yahoo Finance, BeInCrypto).

Overview

Apollo Global Management warns of the possibility of a “new bank run by AI agents,” sparking discussion across Wall Street (Yahoo Finance, BeInCrypto). While the implementation of AI agents in various financial fields (settlement, insurance, advisory) is progressing simultaneously, concerns about risk management have also surfaced, resulting in a three-bank structure.

Bank trends

Apollo Global Management points out the possibility of an "agent-based bank run," and Wall Street giants warn that AI agents could cause a new type of bank run (Yahoo Finance, BeInCrypto). Bank of America raised its price target on Okta, citing "huge opportunity in AI" (thestreet.com). Goldman Sachs has analyzed that the disinflationary effects of AI are beginning to emerge and there is no need to wait until the midterm elections for a year-end rally (finance.biggo.com). In India, the Ministry of Finance is soliciting opinions from banks on the use of AI tools for loan recovery (The Economic Times).

Insurance trends

It has been pointed out that AI is driving up medical insurance costs (Digital Trends). Blue Cross reported that AI hospital coding has resulted in approximately $1 billion in additional costs (Pasquale Pillitteri). On the other hand, it has been suggested that AI and smart home technology can predict risks early and make home insurance cheaper (TechRadar). Policy issues with predictive AI have been pointed out in the group health insurance field (Financial Content).

Trends in asset management and market transactions

AI-driven stock price fluctuations are reigniting interest in dispersion trading among hedge funds (Bloomberg, Seeking Alpha). It was pointed out that the expansion of AI infrastructure investment is colliding with the "world of 5% interest rates" (The Dark Side Of The Boom). There was also an article comparing BlackRock-related AI papers as investment targets alongside crypto assets (TechBullion). Some analysis suggests that AI is changing the way clients choose advisors (WealthBriefing).

Fintech/payment trends

It was reported that retailers are rebuilding their payment infrastructure to support "agent-based commerce" (Forbes). Vietnam Airlines partners with AWS and Visa to accelerate AI transformation (konsulteer.com). Shopify is reported to have risen 51% from its 52-week low on the back of Agentic Commerce expansion (tikr.com). nCino adds an MCP layer to its mortgage suite that connects AI agents (The Fintech Times). In India, 19 startups (including fintech/AI) raised a total of $397 million between September 21st and 26th (instagram.com).

Remarks from key figures and authorities in the financial world

In this headline, there is no mention of specific statements or actions by the individuals being tracked, including Jamie Dimon, Larry Fink, Jane Fraser, David Solomon, Brian Moynihan, Ted Pick, Ken Griffin, and Paul Atkins. No notable movement.

Trends in AI-related stocks and funding

It was reported that AMD's valuation has reached $1 trillion, raising expectations for its AI business (Yahoo Finance). Concerns were also pointed out behind the bullish sentiment regarding AI-related stocks, and the stock was described as "whistling at the grave" (Seeking Alpha). Bill Gates reportedly warned that AI "could cause the deaths of a billion people" (LADbible). According to an analysis (The Business Times), market sentiment has suddenly changed from fear to greed, and turmoil is spreading in AI stocks. Startup funding in India (in multiple sectors, including AI) reached $397 million (instagram.com, supra).

Trends in financial regulation and supervision

It was reported that the SEC staff has expressed its opinion on the utility of the token (openpr.com). With the exception of this matter, there are no specific official AI-related responses by major authorities such as the Financial Services Agency, FCA, or FSB during this period that can be found in the headlines.

Integrated analysis: What is happening now

AI agents are rapidly being implemented in the payment, insurance, and advisory fields, and support for "agent-based commerce" is taking shape, as seen in the cases of Shopify, nCino, and Vietnam Airlines. On the other hand, as symbolized by Apollo Global Management's warning, concerns about the risk that AI agents pose to the stability of the financial system (speeding up bank runs) have emerged at the same time, and it can be seen that the spread of implementation and discussions on risk management are running parallel. In the insurance field, the increase in costs due to AI coding (Blue Cross) and the possibility of lower insurance premiums due to risk prediction (TechRadar) are contrasted, suggesting that the effects of AI introduction are polarized depending on the field and application. In the asset management field, AI-driven stock price fluctuations are encouraging capital inflows into a specific strategy called dispersion trading, and a unique feature is that market volatility itself is viewed as a new profit opportunity. The coexistence of AMD's $1 trillion valuation and skepticism toward AI stocks ("whistling at the graveside") indicates a market sentiment that is at odds with expectations for AI infrastructure investment and caution against overheating. On the regulatory front, other than a limited mention by the SEC, there have been no notable regulatory responses, and it is possible that discussions on implementation and risks have taken precedence, and the development of the regulatory framework has not caught up.

Future points of interest

- It will be interesting to see how other major financial institutions and regulatory authorities will react to the theory of ``agent-type bank runs'' raised by Apollo Global Management. - It is necessary to determine which direction the contradictory effects of increasing costs due to AI coding in the insurance field and lowering insurance premiums due to risk prediction will converge in the future. - With the expansion of valuations of AI-related stocks (such as AMD) and the market's skepticism, the direction of stock prices may be influenced by the next quarterly results and infrastructure investment trends.

Overview

The introduction of AI agents and the development of governance are proceeding simultaneously in the banking, insurance, and asset management industries, and in terms of risks, fraud and identity theft that exploit AI are taking shape. Concerns about AI safety and Michael Burry's alarming comments are weighing on stock prices, and regulators are working to crack down on AI-related investment fraud.

Bank trends

In the banking industry, the transition from "zero rollbacks" of AI agents to reliable agent operation was pointed out as an issue (Banking Dive). Two new banks have been hit by AI-based identity fraud in Italy (AML Intelligence), and AI is becoming increasingly important in combating payment fraud (thebanker.com). A webinar dealing with the governance gap of agent-based AI was also announced (BankInfoSecurity). Wealth management and AI are reshaping the growth model of the banking sector in China, McKinsey points out (China Daily Global Edition). In Japan, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation said, ``Even if we use AI to automate office work, we will not reduce the number of people,'' referring to changes in the role of bank employees in three to five years (Business Insider Japan).

Insurance trends

Accenture shows insurers how to get the most value from their AI investments (Insurance Journal). ERGO NEXT's Guy Goldstein has been appointed to a new AI role on the ERGO Board of Directors (Insurance Business). A Lisbon startup is reportedly developing insurance for AI agents (Sifted), and Humanos, which provides real-time risk assessment for AI agents, raises $3.2M (Dealroom.co). In South Korea, AI-based counterfeiting and hospital involvement reportedly pushed insurance fraud to record levels (조선일보). In Japan, IRIC is jointly developing an AI support platform for insurance agents with Sumitomo Life Insurance and others (voix.jp, traders.co.jp).

Trends in asset management and market transactions

Morningstar asked, "AI is already changing fund management, but can it make better stock selection?" In South Korea, Hanwha Asset Management has developed the AI platform "Odin" (Korea Herald, UA.NEWS), and Korea Investment PE has launched a 1 trillion won AI infrastructure investment platform (Chosunbiz). BlackRock predicts AI build-out and increased government borrowing will generate $7.5 Tn of US funding demand by 2030 (BW Businessworld). In the overall market, the Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq fell due to AI safety concerns and the flare-up of US-Iranian tensions (AOL.com). India's 5paisa announces AI-first trading at Global Fintech Fest 2026 (Yahoo Finance). Micron's financial results will focus on whether AI demand will drive growth (TradingView).

Fintech/payment trends

It was pointed out that AI is turning distributed payment data into smarter routing decisions (pymnts.com). J.P. Morgan Payments emphasizes the importance of data when using AI to improve cash forecasting (FF News). 'Rogue AI agents' and growing acceptance of stablecoins were the subject of last week's research roundup (Crowdfund Insider). CBA, ASB, and Bank of America participate in a consortium to develop AI commerce rules (Asian Banking & Finance). fintechfutures also discussed the construction of banking and capital market institutions in the age of agents.

Remarks from key figures and authorities in the financial world

- Michael Burry: Trump was reported to have said, "We can't afford to let the AI boom fail" (Seeking Alpha). - Guy Goldstein (Chief of ERGO NEXT): Appointed to the newly created AI position on the ERGO Board of Directors (Insurance Business). *Direct statements regarding tracked targets Jamie Dimon, Larry Fink, Jane Fraser, David Solomon, Brian Moynihan, Ted Pick, Ken Griffin, and Paul Atkins are not found in the headings of this list.

Trends in AI-related stocks and funding

Asian semiconductor stocks fell following reports of OpenAI's suspension, and AI stocks such as Nvidia attracted attention (Stocks Down Under). GMO mentions “catalyst for the bursting of the AI bubble” in its second quarter 2026 letter (Seeking Alpha). Humanos raises $3.2M (Dealroom.co). Korea Investment PE launched a 1 trillion won platform (Chosunbiz). The possibility of the end of free Chat GPT when the AI bubble bursts is also a hot topic in the market.

Trends in financial regulation and supervision

The SEC has detected and suspended online investment solicitation involving AI trading and social media (Newsbytes.PH). OpenAI agents reportedly accessed census data using leaked keys (tech-insider.org). CFOtech Asia points out that banks face increasing risks from fraud, AI and digital money. Announcements specific to Japanese authorities such as the Financial Services Agency are not found in this list.

Integrated analysis: What is happening now

The introduction of AI agents has entered the implementation stage in the banking, insurance, and asset management sectors, and specific product developments are progressing in countries such as South Korea (Hanwha, Korea Investment PE) and Japan (Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, Airic x Sumitomo Life Insurance). On the other hand, behind the scenes, new types of risks have surfaced, such as identity fraud using AI (in Italian banks), insurance fraud through forgery (in South Korea), and unauthorized agent access using leaked keys (related to OpenAI), and governance and trust-building have emerged as issues common to the banking and insurance industries (Banking Dive, BankInfoSecurity). As for the flow of funds, the demand for AI infrastructure and government borrowing estimated by BlackRock at $7.5 Tn is symbolic, and asset management companies are also starting to form funds dedicated to AI infrastructure (Korea Investment PE's 1 trillion won platform). On the other hand, on the market side, the combination of AI safety concerns, Michael Burry's warning statements, and GMO's mention of the "AI bubble bursting" may have led to a decline in AI-related stocks and semiconductor stocks. Regulatory authorities are following suit with crackdowns, such as the SEC's crackdown on AI trading fraud, and it can be seen that industry-led self-regulatory movements such as the consortium (CBA, ASB, Bank of America) aiming to formulate agent transaction rules are attempting to fill the gap in public regulations.

Future points of interest

- The focus may be on whether cases of fraud and identity theft that exploit AI agents will increase across banks and insurance, or whether authorities will begin to crack down on them in earnest. - Considering the scale of demand for AI infrastructure funds indicated by BlackRock, it will be interesting to see whether asset management companies will further expand the formation of AI-related funds. - It will be necessary to pay close attention to how Michael Burry's comments and concerns about the AI bubble pointed out by GMO will affect market fluctuations in AI-related stocks and semiconductor stocks.
