[BlackRock: The Potential of AI-Driven Crypto Demand Remains Underestimated] According to a report by Jinse Finance on September 23, BlackRock stated in its latest research report, *The Machine Native Economy*, that the widespread application of AI could become a driving force for digital asset demand that has not yet been fully recognized. With the rise of AI agents and machine-to-machine payments, the demand for stablecoins, native crypto assets, and other on-chain assets may further increase. BlackRock believes that AI agents require the ability to conduct high-frequency, low-value, and even sub-cent transactions around the clock, while traditional payment systems face limitations in areas such as account setup, authorization, fees, and settlement efficiency. Stablecoins are particularly well-suited for such transactions and could become the primary transactional digital assets in AI agent commercial activities. In addition, the AI computing power market could open new application scenarios for crypto assets. As AI companies' demand for computing power continues to grow, future computing power providers may tokenize the rights to their computational capacity, enabling it to be transferred, traded, or used as collateral. AI agents could also automatically purchase the required computing resources through related markets. BlackRock believes that AI is likely to become a structural catalyst for the adoption of digital assets, and digital assets could also become critical infrastructure for the AI economy. Currently, this potential connection remains underestimated.
