Visa & Mastercard also picked the same financial rail for the AI economy.
➤ Major tech and payment companies like Amazon, Visa, and Mastercard are adopting stablecoins (specifically USDC) as the primary financial rail for AI-driven micro-transactions, bypassing traditional credit card systems.
➤ This strategic shift is driven by the need for faster, cheaper settlement and the limitations of credit cards for high-volume, low-value AI agent payments.
➤ The article argues that the real opportunity lies in the infrastructure supporting these stablecoin payment rails, rather than speculative 'AI tokens', especially following regulatory clarity from the GENIUS Act.
