Industry experts are now suggesting that the next big catalyst for stablecoin adoption may not be individual users, but rather artificial intelligence. This potential change was recently highlighted by Mike Novogratz, CEO of Galaxy Digital. he said: “In the not too distant future, the biggest user of stablecoins will be AI.”
Big technology companies are already working in this direction. Several companies have developed open-source protocols that allow AI applications to directly send and receive stablecoin payments. Google’s Agent Payments Protocol (AP2) is a leading protocol built in collaboration with multiple partners, including Coinbase and the Ethereum Foundation.
