Circle 首席执行官 Jeremy Allaire 近日给出一项受到市场关注的数据:由 AI 系统发起的支付交易中,USDC 的占比已接近 99%。这一表态显示,稳定币正在从加密交易工具,进一步转向机器之间的自动结算媒介。

AI 支付为何集中到 USDC

AI 代理和自动化程序进行支付时,通常更看重三点:结算速度、币值稳定,以及尽量减少对传统银行通道的依赖。报道援引 Allaire 的说法称,USDC 目前在这类场景中占据绝对主导地位。

USDC 由 Circle 发行,与美元保持 1:1 挂钩。文章称,其储备支持和合规属性,使其更适合承担高频、小额、自动化的支付需求。这也是 AI 支付场景优先采用 USDC 的主要原因。

市值不及 USDT,交易占比却在上升

按市值计算,USDC 仍落后于 Tether 发行的 USDT,是第二大美元稳定币。但报道援引 Cointelegraph 所引述的 Bernstein 研究称,USDC 在调整后的稳定币交易量占比,已从 2025 年约 40% 升至 2026 年迄今的 60% 以上。

这意味着,虽然 USDC 的流通规模仍小于 USDT,但其实际支付和转账使用强度正在上升。对市场而言,这一变化比单纯比较市值更能反映稳定币的真实使用情况。

  • AI 支付交易占比:接近 99%
  • 近七天供应量增幅:约 20 亿美元
  • 2026 年交易量占比:超过 60%

Circle增长预期与监管同步受关注

报道还提到,Bernstein 将 USDC 最近的增长形容为“数字美元再通胀”。该机构称,USDC 供应量在七天内增加约 20 亿美元,扭转了此前六个月持平或放缓的状态。

Bernstein 维持对 Circle 股票“跑赢大盘”评级,并给出 140 美元目标价。文章称,推动这一轮增长的因素包括加密市场回暖、美国监管指引更清晰、代币化资本市场扩张,以及 AI 支付开始采用稳定币。

随着数字支付场景继续扩大,监管部门也在持续关注稳定币。报道认为,若 AI 跨境支付和零售支付需求继续增长,USDC 可能进一步扩大使用范围;但监管要求的变化,也可能影响稳定币后续竞争格局。
