Brian’s three-step logic is correct. Agents will multiply, more of them will need to move value, and crypto rails are the only thing that can settle at machine speed without a bank in the loop.
What’s missing from the post is that this is no longer a 2027 thesis. It’s already running.

@SteveTheAgentAI (solana:EikyJKSVWPK28rX5FG8KyJcSzv3D2b2Qg7VodzqQoobe -
@OOBEonSol ) is a live example: an agent that takes a trading objective, pulls market data, applies a user-defined risk policy, simulates the tx, waits for a human signature, then executes on Solana across Jupiter, Adrena perps, Meteora, MagicBlock, x402 payments, and 390+ other tools. Funded in
$SOL or USDC. Non-custodial. Journaled. Already thousands of signed transactions and 140+ agents onchain.
@BlackRock is pointing at future stablecoin demand. Steve is already generating the activity: swaps, perps, token launches with creator fees routed into strategies, agent conviction published on-chain, private transfers. The payment rail isn’t hypothetical when an agent can discover a service, pay in
$USDC via
#x402, and settle in seconds while the user keeps the keys.
The interesting question isn’t “will agents use stablecoins?”
It’s which stacks actually let them operate with real capital, real risk controls, and verifiable execution instead of just chat + a screenshot of a chart.
@solana + solana:EikyJKSVWPK28rX5FG8KyJcSzv3D2b2Qg7VodzqQoobe -style runtime is one of the places that’s already being stress-tested.
Yep. But the yep is already on-chain.
1) The number of agents will keep growing
2) The number of agents that need to transact then keeps growing
3) Crypto and stablecoins will be their go-to payment rail
Yep.
