Analysis: AI Agents Could Reshape Financial Industry, Creating $4 Trillion in Value by 2035

Joseph Chalom, CEO of Ethereum treasury firm SharpLink, stated that research models project over $1 trillion in annual revenue within the global financial services sector will be reallocated by 2030, potentially expanding to $4 trillion by 2035. The model suggests that the integration of stablecoins, RWA tokenization, DeFi, and AI agents will usher in an era of agent-based finance. Research estimates that by optimizing banking, trading, and lending fees, AI agents could save investors approximately $350 billion annually by 2030 and $1.4 trillion by 2035, effectively eliminating nearly one-quarter of global financial industry fees.
