executives: AI agents and large corporates will lead the next stablecoin boom, executives say

Stablecoins are entering a new phase of adoption, with large corporations using them for cross-border treasury flows while AI agents begin using blockchain rails for autonomous payments, Bridge and Deus X Capital executives said at Consensus 2026. What to know : Bridge executive Lindsey Einhaus said large corporations are increasingly exploring stablecoins for treasury and cross-border payments.
