March 13 News: The crypto project World Liberty Financial, co-founded by Donald Trump, is accelerating its integration of artificial intelligence and stablecoin payments. Co-founder Zak Folkman revealed that the team is developing technology to support AI agents in autonomous payments, aiming to position its $1-pegged stablecoin USD1 as a key player in future machine-to-machine trading.
Folkman stated that the team has been continuously developing related features in the background and plans to launch a series of updates enabling AI agents to complete fund settlements and payments without human intervention. Developers further confirmed that the company is building an AI agent system capable of executing automatic payment tasks, which could represent users in transactions within the digital economy.
This move comes as the stablecoin market continues to expand. Data shows that the total global stablecoin market cap has approached $315 billion, nearly doubling since 2022. USD1 is now among the top stablecoins by market value worldwide. Meanwhile, the U.S. government has repeatedly emphasized the potential of stablecoins in financial innovation. Trump has publicly supported stablecoin technology multiple times and has expressed a vision to make the U.S. a global hub for the crypto industry.
Market research firms are generally optimistic about the future growth of stablecoins. U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent predicted that by 2030, the stablecoin market could reach $3 trillion, while Citigroup analysts believe this figure could further expand to $4 trillion.
With rapid advancements in AI technology, stablecoins are increasingly seen as a vital payment tool for machine trading. Jeremy Allaire, CEO of Circle, recently pointed out that stablecoins are expected to become the native currency for transactions between AI agents. Infrastructure developments are also ongoing, such as new blockchain micro-payment systems that allow agents to hold balances and conduct high-frequency, low-value transactions.
In this model, AI agents can automatically purchase data services, computing resources, or logistics information, enabling highly automated business processes. Industry insiders believe that as the AI agent economy matures, programmable digital currencies and automatic payment systems could become essential infrastructure for future internet finance.
