New model projects AI agents will capture $1T in annual financial services revenue by 2030 and $4T by 2035.

A new model projects that artificial intelligence agents could generate $1 trillion in annual revenue from financial services by 2030, scaling to $4 trillion by 2035, according to research shared on X. The forecast suggests a significant expansion of AI agent adoption across banking, trading, asset management, and related financial activities over the coming decade.
The projections reflect expectations that autonomous AI systems will increasingly handle financial decision-making, transaction execution, and portfolio management tasks currently performed by human professionals and traditional software. The timeline spans a nine-year window, implying a roughly threefold revenue increase from 2030 to 2035, though the model does not specify whether this assumes linear growth, market consolidation, or breakthrough adoption milestones.
Key unknowns remain about how these revenues will be distributed across different segments of financial services, which regulatory frameworks will govern AI agent activity, and whether the projections account for potential displacement of existing human-led financial roles. The model's underlying assumptions—such as adoption rates, competitive dynamics, and the technical capabilities required—have not been detailed in available coverage.
