Agentic payments are poised to unlock startup opportunities that could dwarf what we've seen from the stablecoin wave. While stablecoins established the rails for crypto transactions, the next generation powered by intelligent agents will drive fundamentally different business models and scale. Startups building in this space aren't just optimizing existing infrastructure—they're creating entirely new markets where automation and autonomous transactions become the norm. The outcomes here promise to be exponentially larger than what the current stablecoin cohort has delivered.
