# AI freelancers will bring $262 billion in stablecoins inflows by 2033

The development of AI-based microbusiness will lead to an increase in transaction volume in stablecoins. This was stated by analysts at Australian crypto exchange Swyftx.

According to their estimates, by 2033 the volume of payments in this segment will reach $2.1 trillion, of which $262 billion will be allocated to settlements in “stablecoins”.

The growth will be driven by solo entrepreneurs and small companies (up to five people). Such firms adopt AI faster and operate more actively in the international market

Experts cited the following main reasons for switching to crypto assets:

• high fees: traditional banks take a significant share of freelancers’ income when making transfers;
• speed: familiar banking operations take several days, while L2 solutions based on Ethereum work almost instantly;
• accessibility: stablecoins allow working with clients from more than 50 countries that are cut off from traditional payment systems.

According to Swyftx lead analyst Pava Hundal, stablecoin usage is growing where there is economic benefit and clear rules. Moving to L2 networks allows self-employed individuals to cut transfer costs by 80-90%.

Swyftx expects that by 2033 the number of such tech-savvy solo entrepreneurs will grow to 17 million people. This will bring infrastructure companies — custodians and liquidity providers — up to $1.3 billion in additional revenue.

Recall that in February, Citrini Research experts predicted the collapse of the economy due to artificial intelligence.
