Swyftx2026-07-13 06:30:30Swyftx says AI freelance work could drive $262 billion in stablecoin settlement volume by 2033Australian crypto exchange Swyftx said in its latest second-quarter industry report that AI-driven freelance work could become a major payment rail for stablecoins over the next decade. The firm projects the global freelance market will reach $2.1 trillion by 2033, with AI-native workers accounting for $775 billion of that total. About 33% of that segment, or roughly $262 billion, could be settled in stablecoins. The report ties that estimate to the economics of cross-border payments. Swyftx said freelancers using Ethereum Layer 2 networks for stablecoin transfers could cut transaction costs by 80% to 90%, with average annual transfer costs falling by about 86%. In one example, a remote worker earning $3,000 a month could see yearly payment costs drop from $200-$300 through traditional remittance channels to less than $20-$50 with stablecoins. Chief market analyst Pav Hundal said microbusinesses with fewer than five staff are now the fastest adopters of AI, while early enterprise adoption has also created a new class of independent operators. Swyftx also estimated that the institutional infrastructure supporting this payment flow, including OTC liquidity, custody and yield services, could generate $1.3 billion in new revenue by 2033.1350
