Why AI Agents Will Use Stablecoins Instead of Cards

Tempo's Dan Romero explains why the future of AI agents will be "stablecoin-native." John: "Why wouldn't I just give OpenClaw my credit card?" @DWR: "The credit card itself is kind of a private key, having that get prompt-injected out, maybe not the best thing in the world." “If you have agent swarms, the idea of spinning up a new credit card for each individual sub-agent doesn’t make sense. With wallets, you can spin up as many as you want and manage the balances for each agent.” “An API call to any of these frontier labs right now is pay-per-call. You’re eventually going to get to a point where, for every single API call, you can just pay some amount of stablecoins in the background and keep moving.”
