Bitcoin and certain altcoins are expected to benefit from the rise of artificial intelligence (AI), according to Real Vision analyst Jamie Coutts. In a post on social media platform X, Coutts states that AI will require a money system, and Bitcoin may be the best option. However, he also acknowledges that stablecoins and native tokens for smart contract platforms like Ethereum, Solana, and NEAR are also well-suited for this purpose. Coutts recently predicted that the total market cap of the layer-1 crypto sector could reach $25 trillion by 2030, driven by the increasing demand for on-chain verification and authentication services. He suggests that AI agents could make use of smart contract platforms to exchange value, leading to significant growth in the industry.
