AI Agents Become Real Buyers

Artificial intelligence has moved from content generation to real financial operations. AI agents are already acting as independent buyers, using cryptocurrency to conduct transactions.

Statistics from the x402 protocol on the Base blockchain demonstrate the scale of integration: over 138 million payments were processed in Q3 2026.

Developers are actively delegating purchasing functions to autonomous agents. This market shift has attracted attention from traditional financial giants like Visa and Mastercard, which plan to add support for AI entities.

The evolution of digital marketing will inevitably lead to advertising campaigns and sales being targeted at neural networks, not just humans.
