Stablecoin news: AI agents and large corporates will lead the next stablecoin boom

Executives from Bridge and Deus X Capital believe that large corporations modernizing payments and AI agents conducting autonomous transactions will be the primary drivers of the next stablecoin boom. Lindsey Einhaus of Bridge highlighted that institutions are increasingly looking to utilize stablecoins for cross-border payments and internal treasury operations, with payment-focused blockchains like Tempo facilitating this adoption. She also pointed to AI-powered micropayments as a significant growth area, where stablecoin-native blockchains can make tiny internet payments economically viable by reducing transaction costs and eliminating intermediaries. Tim Grant, CEO of Deus X Capital, emphasized the potential of agentic payments, where autonomous AI systems transact with each other, as a strong crypto use case. However, he cautioned about the fragmented infrastructure, evolving regulations for autonomous financial activity, and the need for consumer onboarding and institutional coordination. Despite these challenges, Grant noted a positive shift in institutional sentiment, with regulators becoming more supportive.
