According to an opinion piece published in the French media outlet *Le Monde*, France may only have about six months to capitalize on the new wave of industrial development led by "agentic AI," or it risks being marginalized in the global digital financial system. Several figures in the French crypto industry argue that AI-driven online transactions are growing rapidly, with most settlements now completed via stablecoins. According to Andreessen Horowitz's *State of Crypto* report, stablecoins have reached an annual transaction volume of approximately $46 trillion, nearly three times that of Visa and 20 times that of PayPal, becoming a crucial infrastructure for the global payment system. The article further points out that the x402 standard, driven by Coinbase and adopted by companies such as Cloudflare, Google, and Visa, already supports AI agents automatically completing payments via stablecoins, with over 119 million transactions to date. However, France's current tax system has been criticized for being inadequate to adapt to this trend: the complex tax treatment mechanism between stablecoin exchanges and fiat currency withdrawals is seen as inhibiting the return of funds to the banking system, resulting in a large number of digital asset transactions remaining within the stablecoin ecosystem for an extended period. With the gradual integration of AI agents and stablecoin payments, global financial infrastructure is being restructured, and if France does not adjust its regulatory and tax framework in a timely manner, it may miss out on a new round of digital economy dividends.
