Large corporations looking to modernize payments and AI agents making autonomous transactions are emerging as the two biggest growth drivers for stablecoins, executives of Bridge and Deus X Capital said Thursday at Consensus 2026 in Miami.<\/p>\n

Lindsey Einhaus \u2014 who leads strategy and operations at stablecoin infrastructure firm Bridge, which was acquired by Stripe for $1.1 billion \u2014 said the next two years will likely bring a wave of institutional stablecoin adoption, especially for cross-border payments and internal treasury operations.<\/p>\n

“Large institutions are looking to utilize stablecoins to manage cross-border flows and really collapse a lot of their account management into stablecoins,” Einhaus said.<\/p>\n

She pointed to payment-focused blockchains like Tempo, backed by Stripe and Paradigm, as key enablers for broader adoption. Existing blockchains historically lacked features common in traditional payments systems, such as refunds, chargebacks and private transactions, she argued.<\/p>\n

The next growth area may come from AI-powered micropayments.<\/p>\n

According to Einhaus, blockchain-based stablecoin rails could finally make tiny internet payments economically viable by removing costly intermediaries and reducing transaction fees. Historically, micropayments failed because transaction costs often exceeded the value being transferred, while crypto payments introduced price volatility that discouraged spending.<\/p>\n

“With stablecoin-native blockchains, you\u2019re going to dramatically reduce transaction costs,” she said.<\/p>\n

Tim Grant, CEO of Deus X Capital, said agentic payments \u2014 autonomous AI systems transacting with each other \u2014 may become one of the strongest crypto use cases yet, partly because consumers intuitively understand the need for machines to move money online.<\/p>\n

“We\u2019re underestimating the agentic payment boom that\u2019s about to happen,” Grant said.<\/p>\n

At the same time, he cautioned that the infrastructure remains fragmented across multiple blockchains and wallets, while regulation around autonomous financial activity is still evolving.<\/p>\n

Grant struck a more cautious tone overall on the pace of stablecoin adoption. While he was optimistic in the long term, he argued that the industry still faces hurdles around regulation, consumer onboarding and institutional coordination.<\/p>\n

Still, he acknowledged that institutional sentiment has shifted meaningfully as regulators become more supportive.<\/p>\n

“Before, you had to push institutions to pay attention,” Grant said. “Now they\u2019re pulling.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
