Tether CEO: Expected to have 1 trillion AI agents trading Bitcoin and USDT within 15 years According to The Block, Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino predicts that in the next 15 years, there will be 1 trillion AI agents worldwide using Bitcoin and USDT for machine to machine transactions. He pointed out that traditional banks are unlikely to open accounts for AI agents, so self managed encrypted wallets will become the infrastructure of the AI economy. Ardoino emphasizes that USDT, as the most traded stablecoin, will become the preferred payment tool for AI agents. Tether has already laid out for this, launching a wallet development toolkit in November last year, and this year establishing the Tether Data department and Tether AI platform, dedicated to building a peer-to-peer network that supports billions of AI agents. Currently, Tether has relocated its headquarters to El Salvador and continues to expand its investment in AI and blockchain infrastructure. The company believes that encrypted assets will become a key settlement layer in the era of machine economy.
