Artificial Intelligence (AI) agents are becoming the new mass users of cryptocurrencies. These autonomous programs need to buy data, rent computing power, or reserve services on the internet by themselves, without a human having to approve every click.
To do this, traditional credit cards don’t work because they charge high fees on small amounts. Instead, machines use stablecoins (cryptocurrencies with a fixed value tied to the U.S. dollar) such as USDC, which dominates 98.6% of these transactions. Advanced protocols like x402 from Coin/base have already recorded more than 165 million automated micropayments between machines, processing operations worth fractions of a cent in milliseconds.
