Former Bloomberg analyst Jamie Coutts CMT shared a report on the combination of Artificial Intelligence (AI) agents and blockchain. According to the report, the market value of smart contract platforms is expected to reach 15 to 25 trillion US dollars by 2030.
The report points out that five major factors are driving the rapid growth of the blockchain industry, and the specific impact of these factors has not been quantified in previous models. AI technology is believed to indirectly increase the demand for verification on the blockchain. Whether guided by humans or autonomous, the use of AI smart contract wallets for value exchange on the blockchain is expected to significantly change the trajectory of market growth.
Starting from 2026, the report introduces a concept called “AI growth factor,” which is expected to contribute to an annual growth rate of 10% in active user numbers. Coutts indicates that although the initial impact of AI agents is mild, by 2030, these AI agents are projected to account for over 40% of daily active users. This significant increase is also a key factor driving the appreciation of blockchain assets.
Coutts further emphasizes that while regression analysis based on historical data cannot accurately predict the future, he believes that with the expansion of blockchain networks and AI, their network value will experience exponential growth. Even if these predictions only have a 25% chance of coming true, the current market valuation is expected to achieve a four to fivefold increase.
In an interview conducted in April this year, during the process of interviewing Shen Yu, co-founder and CEO of Cobo, a digital asset custody solution provider, and co-founder of F2Pool, the largest mining pool globally, he was asked about the impact of AI on the cryptocurrency industry and wallet custody in the future, and what better understanding the cryptocurrency community should have about AI. At that time, he responded:
