Hedera's AI agent accounts may drive payments without boosting HBAR demand
- —Agent accounts support HBAR, USDC and other Hedera tokens
- —98.6% of 176 million agent transactions worth $73 million settled in USDC
- —76% of payments fell below the 30-cent card-processing fee floor
- —Network fees are denominated in dollars but paid in HBAR
Why it matters: Growing AI payment volumes may not translate into HBAR demand, since the token is used only for fees while settlement runs on stablecoins.
