Nathan McCauley, co-founder of Anchorage Digital, announced on the X platform the launch of Agentic Banking, aimed at providing compliant and governable funding access for AI systems, covering identity verification, policy control, and settlement capabilities across both crypto and traditional financial systems, allowing AI to directly participate in economic activities within a regulated framework. This system relies on its U.S. federal chartered crypto bank qualification, which can provide a compliant "execution layer" to ensure transactions have permission control, real-time risk control, and auditability.Nathan McCauley further pointed out that the financial system is entering an "autonomous era," where AI is transitioning from a decision-support tool to an entity capable of independently executing tasks, including executing workflows, participating in negotiations, and conducting operations on behalf of organizations. The current financial system is not yet prepared for "non-human participants," lacking an identity system for AI, policy execution mechanisms, and compliant funding access methods, forcing institutions to balance between automation and risk.Previously, Anchorage had partnered with Google Cloud, which will build an "intelligent layer" to support discovery, collaboration, and decision-making among AI agents, while Anchorage is responsible for funding execution and settlement, promoting the cloud integration of institutional-level digital asset infrastructure, consolidating capabilities such as custody, key management, transaction governance, and staking, helping financial institutions embed stablecoins and digital assets into their products.

According to the official announcement, Binance Wallet has launched Agentic Wallet, a dedicated keyless wallet designed for AI agents, allowing users to authorize AI agents to conduct secure transactions, transfers, and asset management under set parameters.Agentic Wallet is independently created under the user's Binance account, providing independent balances, configurable permissions, and real-time monitoring, while being completely isolated from the main wallet. Binance AiPro users have Agentic Wallet Skills built-in by default. To celebrate the launch, Binance Wallet is offering a limited-time Gas sponsorship and zero service fee promotion.

According to PaymentsJournal, stablecoin payment infrastructure provider PhotonPay announced a comprehensive upgrade to its payment capabilities, officially moving towards the new paradigm of Agentic Payments. At the core of this transformation is the shift in finance from "directive" to "intent-centric," enabling AI agents to autonomously plan and execute complex financial pathways.It is reported that PhotonPay has divided its system into three main modules: global network layer, core execution layer, and intelligent decision-making layer. AI agents can automatically complete the entire process of procurement triggers, payment path optimization, dynamic exchange rate optimization, and compliance review based on preset goals, achieving machine-to-machine (M2M) cross-border capital flow, covering over 200 countries and regions, and supporting real-time processing of financial decisions.In terms of market prospects, McKinsey predicts that by 2030, the global Agentic Commerce driven by AI agents will reach a scale of $3 trillion to $5 trillion, which also provides important market endorsement for PhotonPay's strategic layout.

The stablecoin payment infrastructure platform Interlace officially launched a payment solution for AI Agents, completing a key component of trusted payments for autonomous artificial intelligence.Interlace authorizes and verifies the Agent's permissions and payments before transactions using virtual cards and on-chain wallets, enabling trusted execution and secure payments for AI Agents.This solution introduces a natural language-based communication and instruction system for Agents, allowing AI Agents to accurately understand payment requirements such as consumption scenarios, amount limits, and time windows, while integrating risk control models to ensure that each transaction is recordable and traceable. Additionally, the solution supports 24/7 autonomous payments by Agents, covering high-frequency business scenarios such as API calls, computing power procurement, and employment settlements. Interlace stated that it will continue to conduct in-depth research and investment in the future to build a secure, compliant, and efficient payment infrastructure for the AI intelligent economy.

According to market news, Coinbase has announced the launch of "Agentic Wallets," a wallet infrastructure designed for autonomous AI agents, enabling AI agents to independently hold funds, send payments, trade tokens, earn yields, and conduct on-chain transactions.The tool is built on the x402 protocol developed in collaboration with other internet institutions, aiming to achieve "autonomous crypto payments without human intervention." Agentic Wallets are plug-and-play solutions that can configure wallets for any agent and execute transactions on behalf of users. Users can pre-set permissions, and agents will operate autonomously within secure boundaries, such as automatically adjusting positions when better yield opportunities are detected.The tool supports EVM-compatible chains and Solana, and enables gas-free transactions on the Coinbase-incubated Base Layer 2 network. The system includes built-in intelligent security protections, such as programmable spending limits, session caps, and transaction controls, with private keys always stored within Coinbase's secure infrastructure, not exposed to agents or large language models.The development team stated that agents are evolving from "advisors" to "executors," transitioning from "assistive tools" to "systems that operate autonomously within trust boundaries."

Coinbase has announced the launch of wallet infrastructure for AI Agents called Agentic Wallets, aimed at "providing wallets for any intelligent agent," allowing AI to independently complete on-chain transactions and payments without human intervention.This tool is based on the x402 protocol that Coinbase is developing, allowing AI Agents to autonomously hold funds, send payments, trade tokens, earn yields, and execute on-chain operations, all while incorporating built-in security permissions and risk control mechanisms. Coinbase states that this solution addresses the critical limitations currently faced by AI when it comes to financial operations, enabling it to truly perform economic actions.Agentic Wallets are an upgrade to the previous AgentKit tool, adopting a plug-and-play approach that allows developers to quickly configure tradable wallets for AI Agents. For example, under preset permissions, AI can automatically adjust asset allocations or capture yield opportunities. It is reported that this feature will initially support the EVM ecosystem and Solana, and will enable gas-free transactions on the Base Layer 2 launched by Coinbase.
