Galaxy Digital CEO Mike Novogratz stated that AI agents will soon become the largest users of stablecoins.

In an interview with Bloomberg released on Wednesday, Novogratz said, "In the near future, the largest users of stablecoins will be AI." He mentioned that he expects users to be able to ask AI to buy groceries and let it independently conduct the necessary transactions:

AI agents are autonomous software programs capable of perceiving their environment, making decisions, and taking actions to achieve goals without continuous human intervention. The main feature that distinguishes these systems from most current AI systems is their higher degree of independence.

Novogratz emphasized that such agents will not "send wire transfer instructions or Venmo," but will rely on stablecoin transactions. He stated that he does not know whether such systems will be in place in a year or five years, but he anticipates that we will "see explosive growth in stablecoin transactions."

Novogratz's comments come on the heels of reports showing that the adoption of stablecoins in the payment sector is significantly increasing. A report from early June indicated that at least four tech companies, including Apple, X, Airbnb, and Google, are exploring stablecoins as a means to reduce fees and improve cross-border payments.

Last month, global grocery giant Spar announced support for stablecoin and cryptocurrency payments in its Swiss stores. In mid-June, e-commerce giant Shopify partnered with major U.S. exchange Coinbase to launch early access to Circle's USDC stablecoin payments.

At the end of July, payment company Visa expanded its stablecoin offerings by adding support for Global dollar (USDG), PayPal USD (PYUSD), and euro Coin (EURC) stablecoins on its settlement platform. A mid-May survey of 295 executives from traditional banks, financial institutions, fintech companies, and payment gateways showed that 90% of institutional participants are using or exploring the use of stablecoins in their operations.

Novogratz's statements about AI agents follow comments from members of the Coinbase development team, who said such systems "are about to become the largest users of Ethereum." AI agents have different capabilities compared to humans and interact with these systems in different ways, thus requiring specialized infrastructure and middleware.

For example, Adrian Brink, co-founder of Web3 AI agent infrastructure company Anoma, recently claimed that such systems need intent-based blockchain infrastructure. This infrastructure utilizes user-defined goals or high-level expressed desired outcomes to prevent unintended transaction results.

Decentralized AI agent infrastructure startup Kite AI recently raised $18 million in a Series A funding round led by PayPal Ventures, bringing its total funding to $33 million. An example of AI agent services integrated into Web3 infrastructure is Clanker, a decentralized application (DApp) built around AI agents that creates meme coins based on prompts.

"Clanker is an AI that launches crypto tokens for you," the DApp's website states. "Give it a name and symbol, and it will automatically handle deployment, market creation, and fee sharing."

According to a report from early August, Clanker had generated over $34.4 million in fees for its users at that time.
