Circle

ICYMI: Circle’s investor AMA with @jerallaire. The conversation covered CRCL, USDC, Arc, CPN, and the evolving agentic economy.

An agent finds every fintech CTO in NYC, enriches each contact, and ranks the list by fit. Total: about $0.15, paid in USDC. No seat license. No CRM login.

A full sales workflow for $1.08, paid by the agent itself

Great session at the AI Agents Summit, Berlin We discussed the economic rails for autonomous agents: wallets, budgets, service discovery, USDC payments, and policy controls. Today, the momentum continues as builders use Circle Agent Stack to turn these ideas into real Agent Wallet applications at the hackathon.

Circle is supporting builders in Berlin at the @AIAgentsSummit Hackathon. The challenge: build the Best Agent Wallet Application with Circle Agent Stack and Wallet. We’re looking for agents that can hold a wallet, manage a budget, discover paid services, pay in USDC, and return receipts or transaction logs as part of the work they perform. Projects can explore: → Research agents → Paid RAG systems → Agent-to-agent marketplaces → Autonomous media workflows → Market intelligence agents → Expense managers In Berlin?

An agent researches a prospect, prepares the call context, pays for a voice call, and drafts the follow-up. One workflow. Multiple services. Paid for directly in USDC. The whole thing costs about $1.08. This is what the agentic economy starts to look like when agents can access and pay for the tools they need.

CCTP is now supported on @StellarOrg. In this Release Notes episode, we cover what changed, how Stellar fits into CCTP as domain 27, and the key integration details builders should know before moving USDC to or from Stellar. Watch to learn about: → Stellar address handling → CctpForwarder contract → USDC precision on Stellar → Where to find the quickstart

The 2025 payment data is changing how corporate finance teams think about stablecoins. Stablecoin rails are being used alongside cards, ACH, wires, and SWIFT in workflows where incumbent rails are slow, costly, or capital inefficient: → Creator and contractor payouts → Supplier and marketplace settlements → Cross-border B2B flows → Network-level settlement → Treasury workflows The question has shifted from whether to use stablecoins to where they fit in the stack.

JUST IN: @movement_xyz is now live on NEAR Intents Swap MOVE and USDCx from 100+ native assets across 30+ chains in a single click at near.com No wallet hopping. No bridges. No juggling gas across multiple chains. Just one-click, Intents-based execution.

Software is starting to do the buying, the deciding, and the negotiating. Now it needs a way to pay. @ddisparte on stablecoins like USDC as the native rail for the agentic economy.

@samconnerone @bleso_a True.

Really enjoyed @bleso_a’s video. If you’re exploring the agentic economy, start at agents.circle.com Fund your agent, explore the marketplace, and see what’s possible.

In my new op-ed in @TheBigWhale_ , I push back on a premise that's become common in some banking and central banking circles. thebigwhale.io/article/the-di… The planned retail digital euro and MiCA e-money tokens are built on different rails, carry a distinct legal nature, serve different use cases, and reach different users. Treating one as a substitute for the other is a costly policy mistake we cannot afford. The policy risk is that the two instruments continue to be conflated, and Europe under-invests in its euro stablecoin ecosystem under the assumption that a euro CBDC will fill the current euro stablecoin gap. It will not.

The agentic economy is bigger than a bot buying groceries. @jerallaire explains the more useful shift: agents that complete specialized work, get paid programmatically, and operate more like services than subscriptions.

I’m speaking at AI Agents Summit Berlin. AI agents are moving from chat interfaces to economic actors: discovering services, paying for data, coordinating work, and returning receipts. I’ll be talking about Circle Agent Wallet, USDC, and the payment layer behind the agentic economy. I’m looking forward to joining other industry leaders pushing this space forward.

In this demo, @bleso_a gave an AI agent a wallet. What happened next: → Bought a phone number for 5 USDC → Placed a voice call → Delivered market analysis → Settled the call for 0.133 USDC A small glimpse of the agentic economy, powered by USDC.

Circle Agent Stack gives developers a practical way to build agents that can hold funds, find services, and pay for access. In this walkthrough, see how an agent can: → Create a USDC-funded wallet → Discover services in Agent Marketplace → Pay for API access through Circle Gateway → Execute actions using Circle CLI Infrastructure for agent systems with defined permissions and guardrails. agents.circle.com
