AI Bots Drive 70% of Stablecoin Transactions; OpenAI Valuation Surpasses $500 Billion
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming the stablecoin market, with bots driving over 70% of transactions in the third quarter of 2025. Meanwhile, OpenAI, a leader in AI, has seen its valuation soar to $500 billion, making it the world's largest startup and surpassing tech giants like SpaceX and ByteDance.
The rise of AI agents as stablecoin users is evident, with more than 70% of transactions in the recent quarter attributed to bots. Greg Osuri, founder of Akash, warns that the electricity demands of large AI models may outstrip current power grid capacities, potentially requiring nuclear energy for training.
Galaxy Digital is capitalizing on this trend, securing a $1.4 billion loan to build the Texas Helios AI data center, expected to generate $1 billion annually. This investment reflects the growing intersection of AI and blockchain.
OpenAI's meteoric rise is testament to this intersection. Initially backed by investors like Microsoft ($13 billion), SoftBank ($40 billion), and Elon Musk, OpenAI's valuation has skyrocketed to $500 billion, outpacing even established tech companies. In comparison, prominent crypto companies like Ripple, Circle, and Binance have yet to reach this milestone, with Coinbase, the largest crypto exchange, valued at around $89 billion.
The AI revolution is reshaping the stablecoin landscape, with bots driving transactions and AI agents poised to become the largest users. OpenAI's unprecedented valuation reflects the hype and potential at this intersection. As AI's electricity needs grow, innovative solutions like Galaxy Digital's data center and alternative energy sources will be crucial to support this burgeoning market.
