HTX Pizza Day Celebration: $200,000 Up for Grabs

A new report from Keyrock, a global crypto investment group leading in market making, asset management, OTC, and options trading for digital assets, finds that artificial intelligence (AI) agents have settled more than $73 million across approximately 176 million transactions since May 2025, while four competing payment architectures have taken shape, backed by some of the largest companies in technology.

Key Takeaways:

Keyrock’s May 2026 report found AI agents settled $73M across 176M transactions in just 12 months, with 98.6% in $USDC.

Coinbase and Stripe each span 5 of 6 payment stack layers, while incumbents deployed over $8B in acquisitions.

MiCA, the $GENIUS Act, and the EU AI Act all hit enforcement by August 2, 2026, with none covering machine-to-machine payments.


The report, co-published with Coinbase, Tempo, and Virtuals, documents how machine-to-machine payments moved from a theoretical concept to a functioning ecosystem in one year. Agents now pay for API access, data queries, and compute resources in real time, with no human in the loop. The average transaction size has stabilized near $0.48.

Coinbase built x402, a protocol that repurposes the long-dormant HTTP 402 status code to enable stablecoin payments between machines. Stripe and Tempo co-authored the Machine Payments Protocol, known as MPP, a payment-method-agnostic standard that handles stablecoins, credit cards, and Lightning Network payments through a single HTTP flow. Google released AP2, an authorization layer that allows users to delegate spending authority to agents using cryptographic mandates. Visa extended its existing card rails to provision AI-ready tokenized credentials agents can present at checkout.

Image source: Keyrock report “Who Pays the Agent? The Race for Frictionless Machine Payments.”

Keyrock’s analysis shows these four protocols are not purely competing. They are assembling into a layered stack. AP2 handles authorization. x402 and MPP handle settlement beneath it.

Chainlink Price Needs to Overcome This Level to Prevent Another Crash Chainlink token stands at a juncture where failure to surpass the $23.78 level could crash it, but surpassing will begin a LINK price rally. After a 30% drop over a week, Chainlink price stands at a critical juncture. If it fails to overcome the key resistance at $23.78, the Chainlink price may continue to crash. A move past $23.78 could push LINK to $50 in the most optimistic scenario. AD The crypto world has entered a turbulent phase where most tokens struggle, and Chainlink price decline is a part of it. Over the week, Chainlink (LINK) token has crashed 30%, reflecting the entire market’s struggle, where Bitcoin has dropped below $100k. Though this is happening under the impact of various macroeconomic events, the concern is more about its continuity. Analysts believe LINK price needs to overcome a specific level to recover and prevent a further crash. What’s that? Let’s discuss
