"Track stablecoin volume as your AI adoption signal Rather than relying on headlines or valuation metrics to gauge how fast AI agents are actually being deployed in the real economy, the speaker uses a concrete proxy: stablecoin transaction volume. He noted that "11 trillion in the first month of the year off of 33 trillion means the agentic world is accelerating," because AI agents transact in stablecoins. He calls this "my direct link to the AI agents" — a real-time, publicly available signal anyone can monitor. Investors trying to time exposure to the crypto-AI intersection can use monthly stablecoin volume trends as a leading indicator instead of waiting for lagging earnings data.
