According to Cointelegraph, Keyrock reported that AI agents settled $73 million across 176 million transactions over the past 12 months. The report noted that traditional payment channels cannot support transactions of approximately $0.30 each, making stablecoins the settlement layer for machine commerce—over 98% of which use Circle’s USDC. However, reliance on a single stablecoin issuer poses systemic risk. By the end of the first quarter, over 104,000 agents had registered, with an average transaction size of about $0.31. Circle’s CEO previously predicted that billions of AI agents will use stablecoins within five years.
