ARK Invest forecasts that artificial intelligence (AI) agents could facilitate $8 trillion in online consumer spending by 2030, according to BeInCrypto. The firm's Big Ideas 2026 report predicts AI agents will account for nearly 25% of digital spending by 2030, up from 2% in 2025, as consumers increasingly rely on intelligent systems for purchasing decisions. The report also anticipates AI-powered search to grow from 10% of global search traffic in 2025 to 65% by 2030. Companies like Amazon Web Services and Solana Foundation are developing infrastructure to support AI-driven commerce.
