With Visa’s participation, the industry can unlock new efficiencies without sacrificing resilience, security or reliability. Developers can access the documentation here: mpp.dev/payment-method…

Enter @Visa’s new card spec for Machine Payments Protocol (MPP)—an open standard from @tempo and @stripe—bringing card‑based payments into autonomous, machine‑to‑machine flows. Combined with enablers like @BasisTheory and @getVGS, developers can securely tokenize and orchestrate credentials while transacting on global card rails. Open by design. No single rail. Global reach.

The infrastructure for agentic commerce is being built right now. The decisions we make about credentials, reach and standards will define how agents transact for years to come. 🧵

Autonomous agentic experiences are starting to emerge but today’s web infrastructure lacks the guardrails for autonomous AI agents. Leveraging Visa Intelligent Commerce and Trusted Agent Protocol, lobster.cash introduces an open payment standard for OpenClaw agents, keeping humans in the loop while enabling agentic commerce to scale.

One misconception about agentic commerce is that it makes digital shopping interfaces obsolete. In reality, as AI coding accelerates, we’re entering a new golden age of product discovery—richer, smarter experiences alongside agent‑driven simplicity.

The internet scaled through open, interoperable standards. Stablecoins need the same foundation so developers everywhere can build on shared infrastructure and accelerate adoption.

Stablecoins can make the global economy dramatically more efficient. As regulation advances, we are scaling stablecoin settlement with partners, focused on built-in compliance, openness, and interoperability.

Money movement is entering its onchain era. Great conversation at #WEF26 with @KashRazzaghi. This isn’t crypto vs. cards—it is about upgrading the rails of global commerce with faster, programmable settlement.

Open standards move commerce forward. @Google’s UCP creates a common language for agentic experiences. We’re aligning UCP and @Visa Intelligent Commerce - providing a foundation for secure, tokenized AI transactions.

No one company builds the future alone. These partnerships are building the backbone for secure, agent-driven commerce.

The shift is already here: 47% of U.S. shoppers use AI for shopping tasks today. By holiday 2026, millions will rely on AI agents to complete purchases.

Visa and our partners have just completed hundreds of secure, agent-initiated transactions using Visa Intelligent Commerce. These are demos of live transactions in closed beta. Here’s what we’re seeing:

Agentic commerce unlocks an entirely new wave of digital interactions, but it can only scale if every player in the ecosystem trusts the agents participating in it. This is how we move the industry confidently into the next era of commerce. corporate.visa.com/en/sites/visa-…

175 million Visa accepting merchant locations globally can't build custom integrations for every AI platform. Standardization is the only viable path forward.

AI-powered bot traffic has surged 300% over the past year. The commerce industry alone saw more than 25 billion AI bot requests in just two months, according to Akamai's 2025 Digital Fraud and Abuse Report. How do we build trust in a world where machines shop for us?
