Circle unveils Agent Stack to let AI agents pay with USDC
Circle unveiled a developer platform designed to let artificial intelligence agents hold their own wallets and automatically pay using USDC. The new platform, called Agent Stack, includes agent wallets, a command-line developer interface, a services marketplace and a machine-to-machine micropayment protocol. Circle said its nano-payment infrastructure enables gas-free USDC transfers and payments as small as $0.000001. The launch comes amid growing competition to link stablecoins with AI agents.
