Franklin Templeton: Agent-type business transactions are expected to reach $3-5 trillion by 2030

Wu said it was informed that Franklin Dunpton had stated that, with the rise of proxy AI (agent AI), its resulting demand for mass micro-trading and machine-to-machine (M2M) payments could not be met by the traditional financial infrastructure, while block chains and encrypted currency provided the ideal bottom-up settlement and delivery layer. Analysis of the article suggests that by 2030, the volume of brokering business transactions is expected to reach US$ 3 to 5 trillion, representing between 15 and 25 per cent of the United States electrician sales. Open payment standards such as “X402” created by Coinbase and transferred to the Linux Foundation have been supported by Visa, Mastercard, Stripe and the major Web3 institutions, enabling software to be self-paid. Due to the very small amount of AI-agent transactions (about US$ 0.001 per transaction) and the need for autonomous contract execution, decentrized identification and fully transparent audit trails, high volume throughput of block chains, smart contracts and encrypted original asset attributes make them essential infrastructure。
