Agentic Commerce Infrastructure Battle Heats Up with Stablecoins and Blockchain
The article discusses the emerging field of agentic commerce, where AI agents conduct buying and selling, and the race to build its infrastructure. Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire argues that blockchain is the new operating system for the economy, with stablecoins like USDC as the foundation. New stablecoins like Open USD are launching with partnerships from Stripe, Visa, and Blackrock, allowing consumer brands to bypass credit card fees. Visa and SWIFT are also developing blockchain-based platforms. The article notes that winners in this space will be those building safe, popular highways for transactions. Additional sections cover United Airlines' premiumization strategy, the U.S.-Iran conflict, and the UK's new prime minister facing bond market pressures.
