Franklin Templeton, which manages nearly $1.8 trillion in assets, says agentic AI could emerge as a major driver of blockchain adoption. In a July 22 official post, the firm’s head of digital assets and industry advisory services, Sandy Kaul, argued that blockchain-based payment rails are better suited to machine-to-machine micropayments than traditional card networks because they can settle at lower cost and at much higher speed. Kaul described agentic AI as software that can complete shopping, booking and payment tasks on its own, without requiring human confirmation at every step, and estimated that agentic commerce could account for 15% to 25% of U.S. e-commerce sales by 2030. He also compared public blockchains by transactions per second, pointing to Aptos, Solana and BNB Chain as better fits for this use case than Ethereum based on the figures cited in the post. Kaul further linked the growth of agentic AI to demand for native tokens issued by the underlying networks. His argument aligns with a McKinsey estimate that agentic commerce could reach $3 trillion to $5 trillion by 2030.
