million transactions over 12 months
According to report
#Cointelegraph , Keyrock stated that over the past 12 months, AI agents executed 176 million transactions totaling $73 million. The report highlights that traditional payment channels struggle to handle transactions priced around $0.30, leading to stablecoins becoming the go-to settlement layer for machine businesses, with over 98% relying on USDC from Circle; however, the dependence on a single stablecoin issuer poses systemic risks. By the end of Q1, over 104,000 agents had registered, with the average transaction size being around $0.31. The CEO of Circle previously forecasted that within five years, billions of AI agents will be utilizing stablecoins.
