MoonPay launches ‘Agents,’ giving AI systems wallets and onchain cash flow
MoonPay debuts infrastructure enabling AI agents to transact with stablecoins onchain as both crypto and non-crypto companies race to build the “agent economy.”
Crypto payments and stablecoin infrastructure company MoonPay has introduced a new software layer that gives artificial intelligence systems direct access to blockchain-based financial networks, a development that could allow AI agents to independently hold and move digital assets rather than rely on human intermediaries.
The product, called MoonPay Agents, is a non-custodial tool that allows AI agents, or agentic AI, to create wallets, hold digital assets and execute onchain transactions without human intervention, once funded.
The launch reflects a broader push to integrate autonomous AI systems with crypto infrastructure, potentially allowing algorithms to interact directly with decentralized finance protocols and other blockchain applications.
