Mastercard Opens Payment Network to AI Agents: Partnering with Over 30 Crypto Collaborators


【Plain Language Summary】The next round of payment competition may no longer involve humans clicking "Confirm Payment," but instead AI agents directly placing orders, settling, and clearing with each other.
Mastercard's launch of AP4M is essentially about seizing the rules of the "machine economy": who certifies the agents, who sets spending permissions, who handles stablecoin settlements, and who grants credit limits to AI agents.
This is no longer just about payment innovation but a strategic move in the AI + crypto business infrastructure race.
