XDC Foundation

The Agentic Economy Needs a Payment Rails. XDC Is Building Them. XDC Network Co-founder @atulkhekade joined @FINTECHTVglobal to discuss how @XDCNetwork is building the financial infrastructure for a future where AI agents can independently initiate and settle transactions. From x402 micropayments and gasless @USDC settlement to stablecoin infrastructure for cross-border payments, trade finance and tokenized assets, $XDC is enabling real-time, programmable payments at the speed and scale required by agentic commerce. As AI moves from generating insights to taking action, it will need payment rails designed for autonomous, machine-to-machine transactions. That payment layer is being built on XDC Network.

Another step in expanding the network’s presence within one of the world’s leading financial centers. Onward.

Hey, XDC community! We’ve got three updates and one common thread: expanding the infrastructure supporting institutional adoption across the XDC ecosystem. ⬇️ XDC Weekly July 5, 2026 - July 11, 2026 _____________________________ Agentic Finance NYC XDC Network Co-Founder @atulkhekade joined @XDC_USA at Agentic Finance NYC, participating in discussions with leaders across institutional finance, payments, AI, and digital assets. The event explored the convergence of AI-powered payments, blockchain infrastructure, and the evolving role of enterprise networks in next-generation financial systems. _____________________________ SBI XDC Network APAC and TOPPAN SBI XDC Network APAC and TOPPAN completed a proof of concept demonstrating an online factoring workflow using digital corporate identity certificates. The initiative validated automated corporate identity verification and receivables authentication, highlighting how blockchain-based infrastructure can help digitize trade finance processes while improving efficiency and reducing fraud risks. _____________________________ XDC Staking on Uphold @UpholdInc has introduced on-chain XDC staking in partnership with XDC Network and @Kiln_finance, expanding access to staking functionality for eligible users. The integration provides additional options for participating in network staking while leveraging Uphold's digital asset platform and infrastructure.

Agentic commerce requires more than AI. It requires payment infrastructure capable of supporting autonomous financial activity. Through the @XDCNetwork integration with @Stablecoin, developers building on XDC gain access to regulated fiat connectivity, stablecoin settlement, virtual accounts, and multi-currency custody. Read more in the reply below 👇

XDC Network has integrated with @Stablecoin (now part of @stripe), bringing fiat on- and off-ramps, virtual accounts and multi-currency custody to developers and businesses building on @XDCNetwork. The integration enables near-real-time stablecoin settlement for cross-border payments, trade finance, tokenized assets and agentic commerce. A major step towards building the payment and settlement infrastructure for an economy in which businesses, people, and autonomous AI agents transact globally.

That office though.

@Brickken Great work @Brickken!

We locked down the rails in Q2. Hard standards, operational maturity, and deployment at scale. A permanent threshold has been crossed: tokenization has officially graduated from an industry talking point into the actual, functional plumbing of modern capital markets. Our numbers reflect it: 🔹 $660M+ in tokenized assets 🔹 150+ clients 🔹 40+ countries Four major developments defined the quarter: 1️⃣ The BKN Smart Contract Migration: Upgrading our core architecture to bring native cross-chain interoperability via @chainlink CCIP and adaptive compliance, establishing the technical foundation for institutional RWA adoption. 2️⃣ Open Standards for Tokenization: ERC-7943 has officially reached final status as an @ethereum standard. Alongside it, we introduced RAMS (ERC-8226) to provide a verifiable compliance framework for AI agents operating within regulated finance. 3️⃣ The Brickken CLI & Agentic Infrastructure: Launched the Brickken CLI and @base MCP deployment, enabling AI agents to handle payments (x402), identity (ERC-8004), and asset deployment directly from the terminal with zero human approval loops. 4️⃣ Institutional-Grade Compliance & Certifications: Achieved ISO 27001:2022 with integrated DORA verification, plus ISO 27701 and 27018 for data privacy, as we transition into a regulated broker and MiCA-compliant custodian. Each reflects the same reality: tokenization only scales when the infrastructure is repeatable, compliant, and operational from issuance through lifecycle management. Ecosystem & Partnerships • Expanded our international reach by launching U.S. operations in Miami and officially joining Luxembourg’s premier LHoFT innovation ecosystem. • Partnered with the @ADI_Foundation to deploy compliant tokenization infrastructure on @ADIChain_ across the MENA region. • Launched an on-chain real estate NAV oracle with @magmarealestate and executed a commodity-backed trade finance infrastructure pilot on the @XDCNetwork . • Rolled out the Brickken Certified Partner Program to wrap a vetted network of legal, tax, and marketing specialists around live transactions. We won Tokenization Platform of the Year at the @Hedgeweek Digital Assets Awards, the Rising Star award at @waibsummit , and were selected for @beincrypto 's Institutional 100 list. We have been present everywhere the most critical industry conversations are happening, driving the narrative at: • Paris: Blockchain Week & @proofoftalk • Miami: Consenus & Future PropTech • Cannes: @EthCC • Monaco: WAIB Summit • New York: @TokenizeThisNYC • Milan: @eth_milano • Dublin: @adminovate • Amsterdam: @DutchBlockWeek And more to come in Q3. The market needs infrastructure that traditional finance teams can trust, deploy, and scale. That is what we are building. Structured. Compliant. Live.

Next wave of payments = AI + Agentic Commerce. XDC is building the infrastructure: • x402 micropayments • Gasless USDC settlement • Real-time, sub-cent autonomous payments for AI agents Tonight in NYC, @atulkhekade shares how we’re making this a reality. The future of finance is on-chain and agent-native.
