XRP Ledger (XRPL) has achieved a new milestone by processing over 13.4 million agentic payments through the x402 protocol. This development comes just a few months after the network crossed the 1-million mark, indicating rapid growth in AI-driven commerce.
The x402 protocol enables artificial intelligence (AI) agents to make payments for digital services with minimal human intervention. This capability is crucial for the expanding ecosystem of AI-driven services, where automated systems require efficient and reliable payment solutions.
According to Crypto.news, the transactions are supported by XRP and RLUSD, with 168 registered merchants participating in the network. This widespread adoption across merchants underscores the protocol's utility and the growing trust in XRPL for AI-driven transactions.
The XRP Ledger's achievement reflects the broader trend of integrating AI and blockchain technologies. As AI continues to evolve, the demand for automated payment systems is expected to increase, positioning XRPL as a key player in this emerging market.
In the current market context, XRP is trading at $1.4, with a 24-hour increase of 0.89% and a 7-day decrease of 7.29%. The total crypto market cap stands at $2.9 trillion, with the overall market remaining relatively flat. The Fear & Greed Index is at 69, indicating a state of 'Greed' among investors.
