Anthony Pompliano, founder of Professional Capital Management, believes Tesla’s push into automation could be the catalyst for widespread stablecoin adoption.

In a recent post, Pompliano highlighted Tesla’s new autonomous vehicles and humanoid robots, introduced at the company’s Robotaxi Day event, as a potential turning point for digital currencies. 

He argued that these innovations could lead to a new era in which stablecoins become the primary transaction medium in a machine-driven economy.

Tesla, led by CEO Elon Musk, unveiled a range of products at the event, including a driverless Cybercab, a larger Robovan, and its Optimus humanoid robots. 

According to Pompliano, these machines represent more than just advancements in automation — they signal the need for a new type of currency that can facilitate seamless, low-cost transactions between machines.

Pompliano told Yahoo Finance that this stablecoin need is similar to the introduction of E-Z Pass, where stablecoins could act as the “digital checking account” for autonomous systems. 

“People or machines aren’t going to want to spend their Bitcoin,” Pompliano said in an interview with Yahoo Finance. “If Bitcoin is going to be more valuable in the future, they’re going to save it. Instead, they’ll use digital stablecoins for transactions.”

Stablecoins are digital currencies pegged to stable assets, often the U.S. dollar or other fiat currencies, to avoid the volatility seen in cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC). Their value remains stable, making them suitable for day-to-day transactions.
