Asset management giant BlackRock just dropped a new report on AI, and surprisingly, it highlights a lot of value for crypto. BlackRock believes that large models processing text and tokenizing real-world assets are essentially doing the same thing—translating the real world into a format machines can directly read and act on. AI large models break down human conversations into tokens so machines can understand and generate responses. Crypto, on the other hand, tokenizes real-world assets so machines can check balances, settle transactions on-chain, and sync data. In the future, more AI agents doing tasks on their own will likely prefer interacting directly with on-chain assets. Why? Because everything on-chain is transparent and accessible, eliminating the need for AI to deal with endless authorizations, traditional banks, accounts, and manual approvals. When it comes to AI payments, stablecoins are more likely to be used as settlement tools, while Bitcoin is seen as a long-term store of value. This could drive massive demand. #AI #Crypto #BlackRock #Bitcoin $BTC $ETH
