BlackRock asserts that autonomous AI agents will drive a major demand wave for stablecoins and blockchain payments. While traditional card networks and ACH automate payments, BlackRock questions their suitability for tiny, continuous transactions. These AI agents, which buy data, rent computing power, and pay for services, could quietly become one of the most significant forces pushing capital into crypto, as they require efficient payment systems designed for the specific needs of autonomous digital entities.
