Real Vision analyst Jamie Coutts predicts that Bitcoin and certain altcoins will thrive as artificial intelligence (AI) gains traction.
AI’s Need for Money
Coutts believes AI requires a monetary system, and Bitcoin is a strong contender. However, stablecoins and tokens from smart contract platforms like Ethereum, Solana, and NEAR are also well-suited.
AI’s Impact on Crypto
Coutts suggests that AI could significantly boost the crypto market, potentially increasing the layer-1 crypto sector’s market cap to $25 trillion by 2030. AI’s demand for on-chain verification and authentication services will drive growth.
AI Agents and Smart Contracts
AI agents, whether human-directed or autonomous, could utilize smart contract platforms for value exchange, accelerating growth. By 2030, AI agents could account for over 40% of daily active users, leading to substantial valuations for blockchain assets that benefit from transaction fees.
