World Liberty Financial Co-Founder Announces AI Agent Payment Technology for USD1

Odaily News World Liberty Financial co-founder Zak Folkman stated on Wednesday that the stablecoin issuer is preparing to make significant strides in the field of AI agent autonomous payments. This move will position its stablecoin USD1 for future scenarios where autonomous software agents transact at machine speed. Folkman mentioned that the team has been developing the relevant technology behind the scenes, and an upcoming update will completely transform people's understanding of AI agent autonomous payments. Other developers on the project confirmed that World Liberty Financial is already developing AI agents capable of autonomous payments.

The total stablecoin market size has now reached nearly $315 billion, doubling since 2022, with USD1 being the fifth-largest stablecoin. U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent previously revised the global stablecoin adoption forecast upward to $3 trillion by 2030, while Citigroup analysts predict the market could expand to $4 trillion by the end of 2030.

Meanwhile, Circle is launching blockchain infrastructure and micropayment features for agent transactions, Stripe is developing the Tempo blockchain specifically for stablecoin payments, Shopify has integrated stablecoin payments, and Coinbase has incubated the x402 open standard for agent payments. Meta acquired the social network Moltbook, built specifically for AI agents, on Tuesday, and OpenAI has also hired the creator of the autonomous agent framework OpenClaw.
