PANews September 23 reported that BlackRock stated in a post on X that its latest research report, “The Machine-Native Economy,” argues that AI the widespread adoption of may bring new demand, utility, and application scenarios for digital assets. The report regards AI as “machine-native intelligence” and digital assets as “machine-native money,” arguing that agents capable of executing financial transactions will make digital assets key infrastructure for the autonomous digital economy. The report also noted that the current circulating market capitalization of stablecoins exceeds AI and that stablecoin-adjusted annual transaction volume reached 300000000000 USD，2025-year adjusted transaction volume reached 11000000000000 USD。

AI-assisted interpretation

The report envisions a future in which AI agents can independently conduct financial transactions and may therefore require digital payment and settlement tools suitable for direct machine use. BlackRock believes that digital assets could fulfill this role.

If the trends described in the report emerge,AI agents could become new users of digital assets, expanding their demand, uses, and application scenarios.
Beginners can understand this as an industry assessment: as AI agents begin executing transactions on behalf of people, digital assets such as stablecoins may gain new machine-payment uses, but this is not a confirmed outcome.
