AI is about to start spending money on its own.


Not a metaphor—Google, Microsoft, Visa, and AWS jointly established the x402 Foundation yesterday, specifically to build the payment infrastructure for AI agents.
This means: in the future, when AI helps you do work and needs to access data or computing power, it will pay with stablecoins automatically without your confirmation.
At the same time, Stripe + Paradigm have also developed a set of MPP, and both sides are working on "standard protocols for AI payments," fighting for territory.
The most interesting detail: Anthropic (the company behind Claude) is on the partner list of both competing camps. As a deep user of Claude, I totally understand this kind of fence-sitting move—the standard battle for winner-takes-all, investing in both sides first, and deciding after the results come out.
This isn’t just a narrative in this track; real money is now being laid out.
