  • Circle CEO Highlights AI Agent Using USDC for SpaceX IPO Memo
    May 24, 2026, 6:45 AM EDT. Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire declared the arrival of the 'agentic economy' after an AI agent autonomously generated a detailed SpaceX IPO memo for $1.87 in USD Coin (USDC).

The memo included valuation, debt analysis, and governance risks, rating SpaceX a 'HOLD'. This innovation showcases stablecoins as efficient payment infrastructure for AI systems, promising to reduce financial analysis costs by enabling autonomous, real-time machine-to-machine transactions.
