MEWUSDCcoinbaseLUSD

Mastercard has introduced 'Agent Pay for Machines,' a service that enables AI agents to make instant payments across cards, bank accounts, and six regulated stablecoins, including USDC and Ripple's RLUSD. This new framework is designed to streamline payments for merchants, marketplaces, and IoT devices.

The service supports multiple blockchains and partners like RippleX and Coinbase, aiming to shift the utility of stablecoins towards routing efficiency and reliability.

USDC dominates in liquidity and broad acceptance, while RLUSD targets specific enterprise corridors like Türkiye, offering tailored solutions. The partnership aims to integrate Ripple's blockchain technology with Flutterwave's payment infrastructure, raising Flutterwave's valuation to $3.2 billion.
