BlackRock sees a new $5 trillion AI trade emerging for stablecoins

Stablecoins could become a preferred settlement layer as software begins purchasing compute, data and services around the clock.

  • BlackRock predicts AI will drive a new $5 trillion trade where autonomous agents purchase compute, data, and services using stablecoins as a preferred settlement layer.
  • Stablecoins are positioned to become the financial infrastructure for machines due to their existing volume and programmability, competing with traditional payment rails and other blockchain networks.
  • The success of stablecoins in this machine-native economy hinges on their ability to facilitate high-frequency, low-value transactions, while blockchains must demonstrate how this activity translates to value for their native assets.
