Google partners with Salesforce, American Express, and others to launch open-source AI payment protocol supporting stablecoins. Developed with Coinbase and Ethereum Foundation, the protocol allows AI applications to send and receive payments. Integration aims to enable AI agents to interact with DeFi protocols, streamline trading, and expand real-world payment use cases.

Google’s payment system builds on the Agent2Agent Protocol introduced in April, allowing AI agents to exchange information efficiently. Over 50 technology partners, including PayPal and SAP, collaborated on the framework. The integration of AI agents with DeFi protocols could enhance user interaction and streamline trading.

Stablecoins gain prominence as a key use case for AI agents, coinciding with broader mainstream adoption. Recent regulatory boost in the US through the GENIUS Act supports dollar-pegged tokens. Galaxy Digital CEO predicts AI agents will become the biggest users of stablecoins. Ethereum Foundation highlights stablecoins’ potential in powering AI-driven applications.

Ethereum Foundation points to the HTTP 402 status code and EIP 3009, enabling AI agents to execute stablecoin transfers automatically. The foundation predicts autonomous agents will become Ethereum’s biggest power users. Integration of HTTP 402 status code with EIP 3009 could facilitate stablecoin transfers for AI agents.
