AI agents, corporates to drive stablecoin boom

Executives believe AI agents and large corporations will spearhead the next stablecoin adoption phase. Corporations are increasingly exploring stablecoins for treasury and cross-border payments, while AI agents are poised to use blockchain for autonomous transactions. This shift is driven by the potential for reduced transaction costs and improved efficiency in payments. Despite challenges like fragmented infrastructure and evolving regulations, institutional interest is growing. Payment-focused blockchains and advancements in AI are expected to unlock new use cases, making micropayments and agentic payments more viable and efficient.
