So far, machine payments have mostly been about businesses accepting stablecoins. And stablecoins are great (cross-border, low cost, etc.)! But much of the planet is holding a card. 🤖 💳 🌎 Here’s a 📺 sneak peek demo from Steve Kaliski of how a business can programmatically accept cards via...

Inside Stripe's MPP IRL: machine payments, stablecoins, and the future of agent commerce. Agents are starting to pay for things on their own: API calls, services, each other. Nobody's agreed on how that should work. This panel was three takes on it. Jen (Stripe) leads product for Machine Payments — the open standard for how agents pay for things. Dan Romero (Tempo) is building stablecoin payment rails, and thinks that's what agent commerce runs on, not cards. Michael Blau (Royal) magician turned a16z Crypto partner turned CTO is exploring programmable money for creators, and why the demand side is barely here yet. We got into: • Why HTTP 402, a status code from the early web, is suddenly the backbone of agent payments • Why Dan thinks a credit card is a private key and why stablecoins are safer for agents • Where stablecoins actually win first • Whether you should build for agent payments now or wait • Why the demand side is "virtually nonexistent" and what that means if you're building 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄𝐒𝐓𝐀𝐌𝐏𝐒 (00:00) Event Kickoff JEN LEE — Product Lead, Stripe (00:44) What the Machine Payments Protocol Is (01:28) How MPP Works — the HTTP 402 Payment Challenge (03:25) Adoption So Far: ~30,000 Transactions (04:04) Building Trust — Shared Tokens & the Link Agent Wallet (05:56) What the Creator Economy Looks Like When the Audience Is Agents (07:15) What She Was Certain About at 22 That's Now Wrong DAN ROMERO — GTM, Tempo (08:34) Meet Dan (08:49) Why Stablecoins, and the Genius Act Tailwind (09:48) "A Credit Card Is Basically a Private Key" (11:19) Should Every Company Be Thinking About MPP?

I just watched a machine buy something on Stripe. No card. No human. No checkout. Stripe Dev shipped it yesterday — machine payments, live in preview. Commerce isn't designed for machines. --- We need to re-organize around that thought. It is designed for humans. He's right. Every fraud model, every auth flow, every billing system we've built assumes a person is on the other end. Agents break all of it. They need - Microtransactions. - 24/7 rails. - HTTP-native settlement (!!) - Finality guarantees. - No subscriptions. No accounts. - Pay at the point of consumption and move on. Cards weren't designed for this. Nothing was. --- So it needs to be completely rethought Now on Stripe Agents can now pay for API calls, compute, and data through the same PaymentIntents API millions of businesses already use. Settled in seconds. --- Stripe says billions the billions of humans will lead to trillions of agents. If even 10% of that plays out, machine payments become the fastest-growing payment category on earth. --- But here's the part that keeps me up at night — If every PSP builds its own proprietary agent payment flow, we repeat the same fragmentation mess that took human payments 15 years to sort out. We need internet native, IETF-grade, ready-for-scale standards that don't over-index on crypto. Protocols that work across any network, any rail, any provider. --- Stripe just proved the market is coming. Now we need protocols and infrastructure ready for scale. PS. Machine is a better word than agentic isn't it.

I finally found a way to give my Openclaw the ability to pay for things, without me, and without giving it my credit cards Most people don't wanna give their Openclaws a credit card (rightfully so), so the next best way to give them their own banks is with Stablecoins And if you have a product with a paywall, you need to give other Openclaws the ability to pay to use it, or you're leaving money on the table Beep on SUI is basically Stripe for Agents, with USDC you can have Openclaw pay for things that it needs and never bug you again If you have an Agent-based product: add this line and make more money from other Agents If you want your Openclaw to be more autonomous: give him some USDC and let him pay for things he needs

My Claude Code just bought me products using my crypto wallet. Exploring agentic crypto payments; Stripe's MPP x WalletConnect Pay. Here is demo that my agent uses Machine Payment Protocol and any crypto wallet WalletConnect implemented to buy things. WalletConnect powers 700+ crypto wallets and millions of users - an incredible opportunity to extend that ecosystem into agentic payments. With our Agent SDK, agents can use WalletConnect as the connection layer and WalletConnect Pay as the payments layer. Here is simply how it works: It searches through the products using the MPP endpoint > initializes payment with WalletConnect Pay API > asks me to connect my wallet via QR > asks me to sign my payment > polls the payment and shows me the result. Agentic payments are new and there are many new protocols and uses cases to discover especially crypto involved . See below for WCP & Agent SDK docs and repo.

Plaid CEO Zachary Perret says AI agents will rely on credit cards, not stablecoins, for payments in the near term: "For as far as I can see, which in this environment is maybe a year or something like that, I think agents using credit cards is going to be by far the primary thing that happens." "The reason for that is merchants accept credit cards. Merchants don’t accept stablecoins, for the most part, for most of the things that a consumer wants to do." "Now, over time, certain types of merchants might start to accept stablecoins. The question is: will the companies that care about making credit cards really easy be able to make them sufficiently easy in the amount of time before merchants actually start thinking about accepting stablecoins?" "And my hunch is, you’ve seen, I think Ramp actually launched an agentic credit card... I know there’s a bunch of other agentic credit cards that are out there, and I can’t imagine that there will not be 5,000 YC companies launching agentic-focused credit cards soon." "So I think we will see more and more options pop up. That’s not to say I’m not a believer in stablecoins. I think it’d be super cool, but I just don’t think it’s realistic in a short time frame."

Last week, Mastercard, Visa, Ripple & Coinbase 🛡️ all shipped payment rails for AI agents. Every one of them reached for stablecoins Instead of traditional cards. A choice that is the whole story 👇🏻 ◢ An unpriced problem Card networks are built around a human pressing approve. One purchase, one confirmation, a fee that only makes sense above a certain size. Agents don’t work like that. They pay continuously, programmatically, often in fractions of a cent, for things like an API call or a second of compute. A bot paying $0.004 a thousand times an hour is a transaction pattern the card model physically can’t process at a profit. The rails we built for people don’t fit the machines. ◢ Four giants, one answer On june 3 mastercard opened card settlement in stablecoins across eight chains. On june 10 it launched Agent Pay for Machines, letting agents settle in stablecoins with permissions recorded onchain. The same day, ripple shipped a toolkit putting RLUSD and the x402 standard under agent payments, visa announced an agentic commerce tie-up with openai, and coinbase switched on agentic trading. Four of the biggest names in payments moved in a single week and all landed on the same primitive. ◢ Why it had to be stablecoins Strip out the branding and the requirements are mechanical. The money has to be programmable, so code can hold and move it without a bank in the loop. It has to clear sub-cent payments, which card fees make impossible. It also has to settle in seconds with finality, because that’s the speed agents run at. And it has to be always on, because machines don’t take weekends. A dollar in a bank account fails most of those, while a dollar as a stablecoin passes all of them. ◢ Conclusive Insights For years stablecoins were pitched at consumers who already had working banks and mostly didn’t bite. The adoption story kept underdelivering because the product was aimed at the wrong buyer. The agent economy doesn’t have that problem. It has no legacy banking relationship, no human patience, and no other option that clears at machine speed. The demand that stablecoins were always promised is finally showing up, but not from the customer everyone expected. My take: the entire stablecoin debate was framed around human payments, which is why it kept stalling.

“We’re doing a lot of machine-to-machine payments.” Brian Armstrong Brian Armstrong founder of Coinbase on giving AI agents stablecoin wallets. “If you're an agent trying to get work done you either have to bug your human every time: "Will you approve this purchase?" Or you can tell the agent just go do this and the work will get done. The AI agents might need to spin up AWS resources or get through a paywall on the internet to read some research paper or buy a domain name or spin up a marketing program etc.. If you really want to treat them like digital employees, they need to have a corporate card kind of thing and traditional corporate cards can't be issued to non-human entities, and so we're giving agents stablecoin wallets. This is all very new in the last few months, but it's been getting a lot of traction.”

TOM LEE: AI IS CHANGING WHAT MONEY NEEDS TO BE Tom Lee Thomas (Tom) Lee (not drummer) FundstratDirect.com says AI agents won't use money the way humans do. They'll transact at machine speed, make millions of tiny payments, and move value in fractions of a cent. Traditional payment rails weren't built for that. Crypto was. 🔹 Money becomes programmable software, not just cash 🔹 Micropayments become economically viable 🔹 Assets like stablecoins, crypto, tokenized securities and even other digital assets can move as easily as data 🔹 High precision digital currencies make machine to machine payments and automated settlement possible The next financial system won't just serve people. It will serve billions of AI agents operating 24/7.

Crossmint just announced AI agents will soon be able to get their own Visa cards. "Not stablecoin backed cards. Not insecure raw card number sharing, but native, agent first cards powered by Visa Intelligent Commerce." (Challenging the 'AI will transact on crypto rails' thesis.) The Crossmint cards will allow AI agents to request budgets from human supervisors, then generate virtual Visa cards to execute purchases autonomously. The demo shows an agent spinning up an ad campaign, and managing operational expenses with only an initial approval from a human. This follows the same trajectory Coinbase is already proving works. Their AI "digital employees" now write over 50% of their code and handle 60% of customer support. Though Coinbase is using stablecoins via the x402 protocol to let agents handle autonomous tasks that require real money. Regardless of how these actions are being funded: We're all about to get a whoooole lot more efficient!

.Lassie co-founder and CEO Steijn Pelle says small businesses like doctors' offices should run themselves: "The busy work is done by agents." "We want to build agents for the business that then will interface with the personal agent of a consumer." "It needs to really work, and the onboarding needs to be as simple as onboarding on Coinbase or Stripe." "All small businesses at an abstract level have a system of record they need to read and write into. They all have customers... it's interacting and transacting around payments. You need to book appointments." "The end goal is if we served all the doctor offices, that we help all the small businesses across the world." steijnpelle

Whop is now officially independent from Stripe. What this means for anybody running a business on Whop: > Orchestration through multi-PSPs is now available (lifts your revenue by 5 - 10%) > Sellers can get paid out in nearly every country via local banks, BTC, or stablecoins > We’ve lowered our credit card rates to 2.7% + 30 cents —- We think that one day, money will be a commodity. The goal of Whop is to expedite that process. Today, we have taken a step forward in commoditizing payments so that everyone in the world can accept credit and debit cards the same way large enterprises can. Payments from the future are available today —

Why do we need a purpose-built blockchain for agentic payments? Because AI agents are now smart enough to operate autonomously, and they need their own rails to transact with each other. Watch the video to see what that looks like in action: A real agent, built on Kite AI, helped our CTO Scott Shi - e/acc order lunch from Uber Eats fully on its own. It explored menu options, made the choice, and completed the payment - all without human intervention. This marks the beginning of agentic commerce and the future of agentic payments - and Kite AI is building this.

Agent-native products are coming. Every product on the internet was built for a human with eyes, a cursor, and a credit card. Agents have none of those things. Most companies are teaching agents to pretend to be humans. That's a hack. The real opportunity is products designed for agents from scratch. Everything inverts: • Discovery → protocol registries, not ads and billboards • Trust → machine-readable reputation, not brand • Onboarding → full capabilities upfront, not a narrow slice • Payments → spend authorization, not checkout flows • Retention → zero. Agents switch between API calls. 30 years of human product design. Day one of agent product design.

🚨 $XRP AND $RLUSD JUST WENT LIVE ON X402 x402 is the open standard letting AI agents pay for API calls, model inference, and services directly over HTTP backed by Visa, Mastercard, Amex, AWS, Google, Circle, Coinbase, Stripe, and more 👀 Thanks to a contribution from our partners at t54, XRPL is now a supported chain on x402 day one. That means XRPL agents can transact for API calls, AI inference, and services using XRP or RLUSD no card rails, no middlemen, pure machine-to-machine settlement.

Over the weekend, I spoke at the Arc Community Meetup in Enugu about how stablecoins can support African businesses. The challenge isn’t awareness. Many founders already see the speed and cost benefits of stablecoins. The real issue is infrastructure that still treats Africa as an afterthought, with high fees, poor liquidity, and compliance designed for other markets. Arc is addressing that gap with payments infrastructure built to transfer value across borders without the friction African businesses have faced for years. Stablecoins aren’t just the future for African businesses; they are already part of how many transfer value today. Arc is developing the infrastructure to make that the standard. Thank you CARBZ, for the invite. Great energy in the room. More to come.

10 years of building Flutterwave, and our focus remains simple: with one API, make it easy for enterprise merchants across Africa to accept the payment methods native to their customers. 🌍 Now, we are adding a new layer to this interoperability. As I shared with Semafor in Davos, the next five years will see stablecoins embedded within finance, working side by side with fiat. That’s the future of cross-border payments we are building! ▶️ Watch the full conversation: Credit: Semafor/Firebird Films

Tempo's Dan Romero explains why the future of AI agents will be "stablecoin-native." John: "Why wouldn't I just give OpenClaw my credit card?" Dan Romero: "The credit card itself is kind of a private key, having that get prompt-injected out, maybe not the best thing in the world." “If you have agent swarms, the idea of spinning up a new credit card for each individual sub-agent doesn’t make sense. With wallets, you can spin up as many as you want and manage the balances for each agent.” “An API call to any of these frontier labs right now is pay-per-call. You’re eventually going to get to a point where, for every single API call, you can just pay some amount of stablecoins in the background and keep moving.”
