Google launches AI payment protocol, paving the way for the Stablecoin era
Google has just announced the launch of the Agentic Payments Protocol (AP2), an open-source AI payment protocol that allows artificial intelligence applications (#AIAgents ) to easily send and receive money. This protocol not only supports traditional credit cards but also integrates stablecoins, demonstrating the increasing acceptance of digital assets in major financial systems.
Strategic collaboration, bridging connections
#Google has partnered with over 60 organizations, including crypto giants like Coinbase and Ethereum Foundation, along with traditional payment giants like American Express and Mastercard. This collaboration marks a significant step, making AP2 a common standard for AI Agents to exchange value with each other without human intervention.
The digital asset fintech race
Google's entry into the race to integrate #stablecoin into payments alongside PayPal, Stripe, and Shopify has created a strong wave of competition in the digital asset fintech space. Experts predict that AI Agents will soon become the new financial intermediaries, automating everything from loan searches and online shopping to asset management. This affirms that stablecoins are gradually becoming a "bridge" between traditional payments and Web3, opening up a new direction for both major tech corporations and the crypto industry, driving the convergence and development of the entire market.
