#AI交易应用 Seeing Tether's move this time reminds me of some past events. I still remember the 2017 bull market, when everyone was debating the future of stablecoins—some said it was a bubble, others said it would change finance. Looking back now, stablecoins have survived and are doing better and better.

The AI wallet announced by Paolo this time may seem like a new concept at first glance, but upon closer inspection, it’s actually a new chapter of an old story. From MtGox’s simple interface, to Coinbase’s improved user experience, and now to AI assistants—the evolution of crypto payments is all about lowering the barriers to use. History has shown us that whenever new technology combines with payment scenarios, the market tends to expand.

However, what’s interesting this time is the choice. Supporting only BTC, USDT, USAT, and XAUT is not random—it represents Tether betting on a direction: value storage + stable payments + digitalization of large assets. This reminds me that in past cycles, the projects that truly survived were not trying to cover everything, but instead focused on clear needs.

The setup of local private AI also has its nuances. Integrating decentralized AI platforms into wallets means that future trading decisions could become more intelligent, and user behavior data will become more valuable. This is both a risk and an opportunity—if done well, it can reduce retail investors’ decision-making costs; if not, it could become another form of “harvesting” retail investors.

From a cycle perspective, now is the window for this type of product iteration. Market enthusiasm is rising again, users are willing to try new tools, and large institutions are also laying out infrastructure. This is somewhat similar to the burst of innovation in exchanges and wallets around 2015-2016. Back then, whoever could provide a better experience would gain more users.

In simple terms, this isn’t a revolutionary product, but its emergence reflects a more pragmatic trend: crypto finance is moving from pure speculation toward integration of payments and asset management. Often, those seemingly ordinary upgrades are the final step that changes the game.
