Agentic Payments: Building the Infrastructure for AI-Native Finance
📣 Calling all AI, fintech, payments, and stablecoin builders
AI agents are rapidly evolving from assistants into operators capable of executing tasks, coordinating workflows, and increasingly, moving money.
As organizations explore autonomous purchasing, automation, subscriptions, commerce, and agent-to-agent transactions, a new question is emerging:
What financial infrastructure is required before AI agents can transact safely and reliably on their own?
Stablecoins, programmable wallets, and policy-driven controls are laying the foundation for a new generation of financial applications where software doesn’t just recommend actions, it executes them.
In Episode 10 of the Stablecoin Builder Series, we’ll explore how fintechs, payment firms, global enterprises, and AI builders are approaching agentic payments and what it will take to bring them into production.
What we’ll cover:
What agentic payments actually mean in practice
Why stablecoins are emerging as a preferred settlement rail for AI agents
Agent-to-agent payments: opportunities, risks, and emerging use cases
New business and economic models enabled by autonomous transactions
Wallet infrastructure, delegated authority, and policy controls
Security, governance, and risk management requirements
What needs to happen before agentic payments can scale
