BlackRock and Cathie Wood: AI agents will drive demand for stablecoin and blockchain payments

  • —Cathie Wood: investors should watch AI agents, not just developers
  • —Chalom: an agent's identity and permissions must not be locked into one closed system
  • —BlackRock: stablecoins and blockchain protocols can power machine-to-machine payments
  • —Coinbase is building the x402 standard for paying for APIs and data without human approval
Why it matters: If agents transact on-chain, stablecoins gain real utility demand beyond speculation.
