According to online reports, Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino expects explosive growth in business activity between machines, and said stablecoins and Bitcoin will be at the core of this change. In an interview with The Block podcast "Big Brain", Ardoino predicted that 1 trillion AI agents will use blockchain-based assets to settle transactions in the next 15 years. "I believe that in the future, every AI agent will have a wallet, and this wallet should be a self-managed wallet. We will have a trillion AI agents in 15 years,"Ardoino said, adding that it is unlikely that traditional financial service providers like JPMorgan Chase will see autonomous robots as customers and open accounts for them. An AI agent is an autonomous software robot that can interact with other machines without supervision. Observers believe that these robots are crucial to the increasingly mature digital economy. Many expect that AI agents will dominate future online activities and rely on cryptocurrencies as a medium of exchange. Ardoino also mentioned Tether's Wallet Development Kit (WDK) launched in November last year, calling it a ready-made tool for unmanaged integration.
