$COIN $MA $PYPL
$GOOG launches Agent Payments Protocol (AP2) - an open standard designed to let AI agents make purchases on behalf of people securely, transparently, & across both traditional and crypto payment rails.
Google says that AP2 is open and shared. It lets agents prove they were given permission to act. It ensures the requests agents send reflect what users truly intend.
Unlike past experiments in “smart” payments, AP2 has heavyweight backing from across finance and tech. Adyen, American Express, Ant International, Coinbase, Ethereum Foundation, Etsy, Forter, Intuit, JCB, Mastercard, MetaMask, Mysten Labs, Paypal, Revolut, Salesforce, ServiceNow, UnionPay International, Worldpay are among more than 60 companies supporting the initiative at launch.
