Keyrock’s report shows that AI agents have completed over $73 million in payments via blockchain over the past year, involving 176 million transactions, though this still represents a small share of the global payments market. Coinbase, Stripe, Google, and Visa are building machine-to-machine payment infrastructure to meet the demand for software agents to autonomously purchase data, computing power, and digital services. Nearly all agent payments are currently settled in USDC, highlighting Circle’s critical role in crypto payments and the risks associated with reliance on a single stablecoin issuer.
