Artificial intelligence could drive the next major wave of crypto adoption as AI agents begin using digital assets for payments, according to World Liberty Financial co-founder Eric Trump.
Speaking at TOKEN2049 Singapore on Oct. 7, Trump said AI agents could use crypto wallets and stablecoins to pay for goods and services. He expects growing AI adoption to create additional demand for digital assets as agents handle more transactions independently.
AI Could Drive Crypto Demand
Trump said some investors have moved money from crypto into AI stocks, putting pressure on Bitcoin prices. He expects that flow to reverse if AI adoption creates new uses for digital assets.

“The thing that’s going to spawn the growth of digital assets by far the quickest is actually the AI trade,” Trump said.
AI agents could eventually handle tasks such as booking hotels and making payments through digital wallets. World Liberty Financial executive Zach Folkman highlighted the company’s Agentic SDK, which allows AI agents to use USD1 wallets to transact with businesses, consumers and other agents.
Stablecoins and Tokenization
Trump also identified tokenization as another potential growth area. World Liberty Financial plans to tokenize Trump Tower in Dubai as part of its real-world asset strategy.
The company said more than $4 billion of its USD1 stablecoin is in circulation, while its decentralized lending platform has about $1 billion in total value locked.
Trump urged the crypto industry to capitalize on AI’s growth, saying wider adoption could create new demand for digital assets.
