BlackRock Foresees AI Agents Fueling A Surge In Stablecoin And Payment Chain Usage 🕷️🖤

BlackRock be arguing that AI vibes going wide could spark fresh demand for stablecoins and blockchain payments like mad.

Three Ways AI And Crypto Are Merging 🖤

According to the asset manager autonomous AI systems might need financial setups built just for machines and blockchains could turn into the go to way to pay for all that computing power those things crave. In a paper it published on September 22 the firm called AI machine native intelligence and digital assets machine native money. It says the two tech worlds that grew apart are now starting to mix as AI gets better at handling money moves with barely any human touch. Tokenization is the first overlap where large language models split text into tokens for number crunching while blockchains turn value and ownership into digital tokens for machines to play with 🌑. Agentic commerce is next where AI agents do financial trades this could boost need for programmable payments and stablecoins plus other cryptos might handle all the settling 🔥. Traditional card networks and ACH already do some automated stuff but their rules and costs make them meh for tiny nonstop machine transactions that need code to run. Computing capacity is the third bit with analyst guesses that hyperscaler cloud money could top 1 trillion dollars every year by 2030 so claims on compute power could become a crypto thing for funding and smart settlements 👀.

CZ And Arthur Hayes See It Too 🌙

BlackRock thinks beyond just paying for stuff with crypto too as AI agents get smarter and run longer they will need computing resources via easy transferable claims. Those assets could let financing and settling happen through programmable systems instead of old school ways 💀. AI handles the info and direction while blockchains give machine readable assets and transfer rules. Smart contracts can check conditions before assets move so everything happens when rules hit. Basically the firm sees AI as a big push for digital assets while digital assets become the backbone for an economy that runs itself more and more. Still the whole idea hinges on whether these autonomous systems will really create enough demand for programmable payments and tokenized stuff to matter. Arthur Hayes has said agents eat floating point operations not snacks and might want tokens they can swap for compute 🕸️. Changpeng Zhao also noted that agentic trading and payments are coming in months not years and will use crypto since blockchains already talk in APIs 🦇.
