Henri Stern appeared on TBPN in April 2026 during Stripe Sessions, where he discussed the intersection of AI and crypto with Stripe co-founders John and Patrick Collison. He reported that 35% of new Privy signups were for people building AI wallets, which allow users to give agents spending allowances and claw back unused assets. Stern predicted that early use cases would occur in the background and expressed interest in seeing a "hockey stick" adoption moment for stablecoins and AI agents. In a June 2026 appearance, Stern discussed the state of digital assets, noting that while disruption to traditional finance has been small, blockchain infrastructure has matured and regulators have accepted it for serious use cases in Asia and Europe. He highlighted cross-border stablecoin corridors, citing a company serving 5% of the US-to-Mexico remittance market, and predicted the rise of non-dollar stablecoins and inflation-linked stablecoins. He also commented on AI-generated music, referencing Suno's $400 million raise and suggesting that acceptance grows as more people experience the product.
