BlackRock Bets on AI Stablecoins Driving Future Ethereum Demand

Ethereum's price has seen a slight dip to $2,695 over the past 24 hours, down 2.6%, but its market capitalization remains near $329 billion with a 24-hour trading volume of $16.71 billion.

BlackRock's recent research highlights AI stablecoin payments as a potential driver for future Ethereum demand, naming Ethereum and Circle's Arc as candidate settlement venues.

This shift in tone from BlackRock is significant, treating AI-to-AI payments as an investable thesis rather than a futuristic curiosity.

LiquidChain, a Layer 3 project unifying Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana liquidity, has raised $970K in presale funding at a token price of $0.014958.
