93% of executives want to deploy AI agents. Only 2% have managed to do so at scale. The bottleneck is payments. A SEPA transfer takes hours, card settlement runs at D+2, SWIFT is unavailable at night. An autonomous agent needs to pay in two seconds, for fractions of a cent, with no human intervention. Stablecoins are the only instruments that meet all four constraints simultaneously. In this benchmark, we map the emerging protocols (ACP, MPP, AP2, x402), the players building the infrastructure (Stripe, Coinbase, Circle, Google, OpenAI), the use cases already in production and those set to go live within the next 12 to 18 months. Featuring two exclusive interviews: Paul Frambot (Morpho) and Julien Maldonato (Deloitte).
