metal” commands a premium of over $14 per ounce. Geopolitical concerns and a

HTX’s 2025 Listing Strategy Review, Building a High-Liquidity Ecosystem Through First-Mover Advantage and Longtermism

Circle’s chief executive painted a brisk picture at Davos this week: 
autonomous software agents that act for people could be using stablecoins to 
pay for everyday things within three to five years. He said these agents will 
need a money system that is stable, fast, and programmable. That, he argued, 
points to stablecoins as the likely choice. Related Reading: Bitcoin’s Sharp

According to reports, Jeremy Allaire of Circle said “literally billions” of AI 
agents may be transacting on behalf of users in the near term. “Three years, 
five years from now, one can expect that there will be billions, literally 
billions of AI agents conducting economic activity in the world on a 
continuous basis,” Allaire said during the World Economic Forum in Davos, 
Switzerland. He described work on new networks and tools aimed at letting 
software act like small businesses or helpers that buy services, settle bills, 
and tip content creators. This idea is simple on the surface: software needs a 
reliable unit of account when it spends, and tokenized dollars can fit that 
role. Building The Tools Reports say companies across the crypto and tech 
world are racing to build the plumbing for this future. Circle is pitching 
USDC as a neutral payments layer that software can plug into. Other firms are 
testing protocols that let a machine sign off on a payment when certain 
conditions are met. Some large tech groups are also exploring ways for their 
platforms to let software pay for services automatically. Progress is visible, 
but the path is not yet clear. What Regulators Might Ask Regulators will have 
questions. Reports note concerns about money flow, consumer protections, and 
where bank deposits sit if stablecoins grow rapidly. At Davos, the CEO pushed 
back on the idea that stablecoins would drain bank deposits the way some fear, 
saying comparisons to other financial instruments are more fitting. Still, 
lawmakers in the US and elsewhere are watching closely. Rules could move 
faster if policy makers see real volume coming from so-called agentic 
commerce. New Networks, New Risks Based on reports, the technical choices will 
shape both convenience and danger. If agents can move value at scale, fraud 
and theft risks may rise too. Related Reading: Bitcoin Influencers Get
