Ant Digital launches crypto payment platform for AI agents

Ant Digital Technologies, the blockchain arm of Chinese fintech giant Ant Group, has launched Anvita, a cryptocurrency payment platform designed for AI agents, CoinDesk reported. Anvita combines tokenization services with a real-time payment network between agents to enable an autonomous, human-free commerce environment. This development is seen as extending the competition over stablecoin infrastructure, previously dominated by traditional financial firms, into the AI agent sector. The outlet noted that although the volume of payments between agents is still nascent, the technology is drawing attention as a key infrastructure for the future economy amid a wave of related product launches from major tech firms.
