Agentic AI and stablecoins: Hype or the future of finance?

Rarely do two transformational technologies in the financial sector emerge at the same time. Both Agentic artificial intelligence (Agentic AI) and stablecoin carry enormous potential to disrupt so much of the financial services value chain and extend their impact well beyond the sector into the broader economy, yet they also raise significant questions related to scalability and risk. This paper analyses the benefits, risks and potential future business models that might evolve from these two nascent technologies. Finally, the paper explores the convergence of Agentic AI and stablecoins, imagining the profound possibilities and challenges that emerge when autonomous intelligence is paired with stable, programmable money.
