According to CoinDesk, Ripple is attempting to introduce XRP along with its stablecoin Ripple USD into the AI agent payment market, aiming to penetrate the on-chain micropayment system currently dominated by the USD stablecoin USD Coin. It has released the "XRPL AI Starter Kit," providing developers with a toolkit to build AI Agent payment capabilities, enabling agents to complete payments, check balances, and perform wallet operations on the XRP Ledger, and supporting automated payment processes based on the x402 protocol.However, Ripple has not yet disclosed any scaled landing customers or real production-level AI Agent payment transaction data; the solution is still in the early exploratory stage of infrastructure and developer ecosystem.

According to The Block, Ripple announced a toolkit for developers to build "proxy payment" applications on the XRP Ledger (XRPL), supporting AI agents to execute automated financial transactions.Ripple stated that AI agents are no longer a concept of the future but are actively participating in paying computational costs, settling invoices, and completing transactions without human intervention. As the application of AI agents expands, the market is accelerating the construction of payment infrastructure for machines, including wallets and stablecoin payment channels, enabling AI to autonomously complete service payments and asset transactions.This week, Robinhood also launched related plans, allowing users to try stock trading executed by AI agents, with plans to expand into the cryptocurrency space in the future; MetaMask also released a non-custodial wallet solution for AI agents.Ripple pointed out that traditional payment systems mainly serve human-initiated and approval processes, while AI agents require infrastructure that enables fast settlement, predictable outcomes, and no human approval. It emphasized that its new toolkit also supports payment capabilities based on the x402 protocol, allowing settlements using XRP and Ripple USD (RLUSD).Meanwhile, the IC3 team, composed of researchers from several universities, stated that although AI combined with blockchain can achieve automated trading, AI agents still heavily rely on humans and underlying infrastructure, lacking complete independence.

This means that index investors will be able to gain indirect exposure to ETH and SOL through the two companies.Reports indicate that Sharplink currently holds 868,699 ETH, valued at nearly $1.8 billion; Forward Industries holds approximately $585 million in SOL. Previous data from FTSE Russell showed that about $12.2 trillion in assets are benchmarked to the Russell U.S. indices.

XRP Ledger developers submitted a draft amendment called "AMM Swappable Curves," which plans to introduce three types of swappable curves for the XRPL native automated market maker: constant product, concentrated liquidity, and StableSwap, with a programmable Smart AMM to be added later. This upgrade aims to allow liquidity providers to choose more suitable pricing curves based on asset types, thereby improving capital efficiency.Concentrated liquidity is suitable for trading pairs where most transactions are concentrated within a specific price range, while StableSwap is more appropriate for assets that are close to a 1:1 exchange, such as stablecoins or pegged assets. Existing AMM pools will continue to use the current constant product model and will not require migration. This proposal is seen as an important step in addressing the shortcomings of the DeFi infrastructure on XRPL.Currently, there are over $3 billion in tokenized real-world assets on the XRPL chain, including a recent pilot for tokenized U.S. Treasury redemptions completed by Ripple and JPMorgan. However, to enable these assets to trade, lend, or generate yield more efficiently, a more mature DeFi liquidity infrastructure is still needed. Nevertheless, this proposal is still in the draft stage and will need to go through the XRPL amendment voting process, which may take several months, and there is still uncertainty about whether it will ultimately pass.

After the transaction is completed, General Tensor will cover about one-third of the trading volume on the Bittensor network.Previously, General Tensor had raised a total of $5 million through Pre-Seed and Seed rounds, with investors including Digital Currency Group (DCG), Lvna Capital, and Good Morning Holdings, which is led by Lok Lee and supported by Goldman Sachs. Backprop Finance currently mainly serves the trading of Bittensor Dynamic TAO (dTAO) subnet Alpha tokens, providing token exchange and subnet screening.

According to The Block, Sharplink CEO Joseph Chalom stated that the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq are advancing 24/7 trading, and the U.S. Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation is promoting tokenized collateral, along with Bullish's acquisition of Equiniti, indicating that the public equity on-chain process may be faster than the market expects.Meanwhile, several Ethereum reserve companies have significantly retreated from their summer 2025 highs, with a noticeable contraction in the market value to net asset value ratio. Chalom mentioned that some companies are under pressure due to prematurely issuing preferred stock or convertible bonds; Sharplink focuses more on equity financing and staking yields while trying to keep the balance sheet simple.He also stated that over the past year and a half, Bitcoin and Ethereum have behaved more like risk assets, but as stablecoins, tokenized assets, DeFi, and AI applications expand on Ethereum, Ethereum may further differentiate from Bitcoin in the long term.
