Google Unveils AI Payment Protocol with Stablecoin Support
Date: 2025-09-17 Author: Gabriel Deangelo Categories: BUSINESS
Google has announced the launch of an innovative payment protocol focused on the interaction of AI agents. The system supports standard payment methods, including bank cards, as well as stablecoins. To integrate cryptocurrency solutions, the company collaborated with Coinbase, the Ethereum Foundation, and other Web3 companies. More than 60 organizations took part in the creation of the protocol, including American Express and Etsy.
The open-source protocol ensures the transparency and security of transactions between AI agents acting on behalf of users. Such mechanisms can be used in various areas: from the interaction of an AI assistant with an online storefront to mortgage consultations through a digital bank agent.
Earlier, in April, Google released a protocol providing standardized tools for interaction between AI agents. According to James Tromans, head of Web3 at Google Cloud, the new payment solution is built on its basis. The company guarantees that transactions between agents correspond to user intent and are completely secure. The protocols were developed by Google from scratch, Tromans emphasizes.
The interest of large tech companies in integrating stablecoins into the payment infrastructure has been observed for several months. According to Fortune, back in early June, Google, Apple, and X were exploring the possibility of using digital tokens to reduce fees and simplify international transfers.
Experts predict significant growth in the stablecoin market in the coming years. One of the factors stimulating development was the new policy of the US President Donald Trump's administration, which emphasizes support for dollar tokens. This opens up prospects for increasing the number of transactions and the active implementation of cryptocurrency solutions in corporate and consumer services.
Google's new payment protocol creates the basis for secure and transparent transactions between AI agents, allowing traditional and digital financial instruments to be combined. This approach could accelerate the adoption of stablecoins and improve the efficiency of both businesses and users by providing flexibility and convenience for financial interactions in the digital environment.
