BlackRock: AI Drives Adoption of Digital Assets, Stablecoins May Become Major Trading Tools

In its report "The Machine-Native Economy," BlackRock points out that AI and digital assets are accelerating their integration. AI can enable machine-native intelligence, while digital assets can provide machine-native currency. As AI agents autonomously purchase services and initiate financial transactions, blockchain will provide machine-readable assets and programmable settlement infrastructure, with stablecoins potentially becoming the primary trading tool for agent commercial activities. BlackRock anticipates that by September 2026, the circulating market value of stablecoins will exceed $300 billion, with adjusted trading volumes surpassing $11 trillion in 2025, and a compound annual growth rate of 80% from 2020 to 2025. Additionally, the rights to computing power may be standardized and tokenized in the future for transfer, collateralization, and programmable settlement, with computing power futures potentially supporting price discovery and risk hedging.
