Circle CEO Predicts Stablecoins Will Power Billions of AI Agents Within 3–5 Years

Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire told attendees at the World Economic Forum in Davos that, within three to five years, billions of autonomous AI agents could use crypto and stablecoins to handle routine payments. He argued that stablecoins are the only practical foundation for AI-native economic systems, a view echoed by Binance co-founder Changpeng Zhao, while new protocols from Coinbase and Google aim to support this emerging form of AI-driven commerce.
