Increasingly, it’s executing them directly. On this episode of the Crypto Brief, our hosts examine agentic payments: transactions executed by autonomous AI systems. Based on pre-programmed directives, these agents discover services, access resources, and settle payments without hands-on human involvement. This discussion uncovers what becomes possible when technology participates in the economy as an actor, and what new obligations emerge for the people designing—and overseeing—those systems. Episode Topics: [0:00] Intro [1:22] Defining AI Agents [2:14] Trends in Agentic Payments [11:15] Products, Protocols & Partnerships [14:41] An Overview of the Machine Payment Protocol [16:26] Risks & Considerations [23:27] Where Stablecoins Fit in [29:02] Final Thoughts & Outro Stay connected with us beyond the podcast by following FCAT on Instagram, LinkedIn, and X, where we share additional insights and updates on all things emerging tech.
