Token Terminal data shows AI agents driving 73 million stablecoin transfers in 180 days

Token Terminal’s agentic payments explorer shows AI agents initiating 73.0 million stablecoin transfers over the past 180 days, with USDC accounting for virtually all of the activity.

The explorer data also points to a concentration of transfers on a small number of networks. Base led with 38.7 million transfers, while Polygon followed with 26.1 million, according to Token Terminal.

The figures describe transfer activity initiated by AI agents, not a broader measure of stablecoin adoption across the market. The available data also does not by itself explain who the agents were, what applications they were using or whether the transfers reflect sustained operational usage beyond the measured period.

Still, the numbers offer a concrete snapshot of how agent-driven payments are appearing in onchain data. In this case, the activity is largely tied to USDC and concentrated on Base and Polygon, which makes the breakdown more specific than a generic claim about AI and crypto payments.
