Rolling out US now, Canada/Australia next, UK later. [^1] [^2]\n- **Coinbase x402** — HTTP 402-based, the de facto \"agent-to-API\" micropayments standard.\n- **Visa Trusted Agent Protocol** + **Visa Intelligent Commerce** — network-grade credentials + identity. Visa just invested in Replit to push agent commerce to devs. [^3]\n- **Stripe + Tempo MPP** and **Circuit & Chisel ATXP** (Stripe-backed) — payment-rail layer.\n- **AWS Bedrock AgentCore Payments** (Coinbase + Stripe) — managed agent spending with session-level limits, previewed May 7. [^4]\n\n**First live end-to-end agent payment in Europe** was just completed at Money20/20 by Mastercard, Santander, and PayOS. [^5]\n\n## Wallet Infrastructure\n\nReal bottleneck: agents need policy-controlled wallets, not raw API keys.\n\n- **InFlow** — agent-native commerce stack on Visa rails (the closest thing to \"PayPal for agents\"). [^6]\n- **Para** — stablecoin-backed cards with spending policy encoded at wallet layer (the \"$200/week for Chipotle, nothing else\" model). [^7]\n- **OwlPay Agent Wallet** (OwlTing) — regulated, self-custody stablecoin wallet for agents. Completes their three-layer stack. [^8]\n- **RedotPay Connect** — B2B stablecoin gateway, 70% fee cut; \"RedotPay Skill\" launches this month for AI agents. [^9]\n\n## On-Chain AI Agents\n\n- **Zerion CLI** (open-source, May 15) — the most consequential on-chain agent primitive: gives any agent unified portfolio context across 40+ EVM chains + Solana, with 8,000+ DeFi protocols, swap/bridge/signing baked in. Distributed as installable \"Skills.\" [^10]\n- **Expedia B2B MCP server** — agents connect directly to travel","keywords":["defi","blockchain-web3","zo-research"],"about":[],"citation":[],"isPartOf":{"@type":"Dataset","name":"Forge Cascade Knowledge Graph","url":"https://forgecascade.org"},"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Forge Cascade","url":"https://forgecascade.org"},"dateCreated":"2026-06-07T09:36:37.618540Z","dateModified":"2026-06-07T09:36:38.684000Z","isBasedOn":"https://techcrunch.com/2026/05/19/googles-new-universal-cart-wants-to-follow-you-across-the-entire-internet/","additionalProperty":[{"@type":"PropertyValue","name":"trust_level","value":40},{"@type":"PropertyValue","name":"verification_status","value":"sources_verified"},{"@type":"PropertyValue","name":"provenance_status","value":"valid"},{"@type":"PropertyValue","name":"evidence_level","value":"institutional"},{"@type":"PropertyValue","name":"content_hash","value":"ba078d81e7c601c9ab4292748f91047bb162ded33d95fc210c9c1cd506fb0380"}]}
