Netomi CEO Says AI Growth Will Boost Demand for Stablecoins
Forecast Trend Report by Period
Puneet Mehta, founder and chief executive officer of AI customer experience platform Netomi, said demand for stablecoins and blockchain-based payment infrastructure will rise sharply as the artificial intelligence industry expands.
Mehta told CoinDesk in an interview published June 10 that the customer experience market, now worth about $500 billion, could grow to $5 trillion by 2030 as AI technology advances.
AI and crypto are complementary rather than competitive, he said.
He added that the spread of autonomous AI agents will be a key driver of stablecoin demand.
To process transactions in real time, AI agents need stablecoins and blockchain-based payment infrastructure that can operate around the clock instead of relying on traditional financial systems, Mehta said.
As AI increasingly becomes a participant in economic activity, global payment and settlement systems will also become more automated and real-time, he added.
Market participants say the convergence of AI and blockchain technology could become a new growth driver for the digital-asset industry, including stablecoins, on-chain payments and real-world asset tokenization.
