Ripple($XRP) said that as AI agents begin to process transactions on behalf of businesses, speed alone is no longer enough for payment infrastructures; Trust, control mechanisms and clear rules regarding the transfer of value become essential.
The company stated that the $XRP Ledger and RLUSD stablecoin are helping build the infrastructure needed for the future of AI-driven trading.
Ripple said in its announcement that it is excited to be part of the ecosystem supporting Mastercard’s new “Agent Pay for Machines” (AP4M) initiative, and will help validate new use cases, establish common standards, and accelerate adoption of the technology.
