AI agents and large corporations to lead next stablecoin boom

The next major users of stablecoins are expected to be AI and large corporations, rather than individuals, CoinDesk reported. Experts at the Miami Consensus 2026 conference agreed that autonomous payments between AI agents will drive exponential growth in the stablecoin market. Einhaus, a director at Bridge, which was acquired by Stripe for $1.1 billion, said that blockchain rails will dramatically lower payment costs, enabling micropayments between AI. Binance founder Changpeng Zhao also emphasized that the BNB Chain is the optimal rail for automated transactions between AI agents.
