Stripe executives Patrick and John Collison expect blockchain network demands to increase significantly as adoption and use of AI agents grow in the future.
Financial technology firm Stripe says blockchains may need to process up to 1 billion transactions per second to support the future of artificial intelligence agents.
In an annual letter posted to X on Tuesday, Stripe CEO and co-founder Patrick Collison and co-founder John Collison gave a rundown of the firm’s performance over 2025, while also making some predictions for the near future.
One of the key talking points was the adoption of AI agents and what widespread use could look like in the future. The duo argued that blockchain transaction activity will soon skyrocket as AI agents gradually become the primary conductors of online transactions.
