Using @massive_com's data through an AI agent, "you can get answers instantaneously that you need to make a trade decision."
Each answer is paid for through x402, and "every request is only a cent." — Stevie Palmateer

Tune in to see VP of Product Engineering at Massive, Stevie Palmateer, talk about how AI agents buy @massive_com stock data, one request at a time, in USDC using x402.
Thank you to @stabledash for having us on 🤝

x402 inside @muse
your muse can do better
get accurate, relevant data from gated sources without dealing with apis, just use x402 mcp
i asked my muse to find the most popular linkedin accounts writing about agentic banking, and it pulled the data through stableenrich from @merit_systems
set up:

Congrats to @shengkunye, @feiyou_guo and the monid team on this raise
Monid is also available using x402 on Base btw!
We just raised $7.7M to kill every subscription for agents.
Introducing monid.ai, the openrouter for agent tools.
Your agents can now:
> discover, run, and pay for tools at runtime
> use 2,500 APIs through one connection: leads, SEO, marketing, search, ecommerce, stocks, video/image/music/3D gen, agent email & phone
> pay per call, 0 subscriptions

Agentic Finance (AiFi) spans trading, payments, permissions, and more.
Excited to share the latest paper from Coinbase Institute, co-authored alongside @CKHctp, @MurrLincoln, and @smshr98, which explores the infrastructure that enables M2M payments.
The internet’s business model was built around people: attention, ads, subscriptions and checkout. AI agents are changing that. They can retrieve and use content without sending a human reader back to the publisher.
That raises a real question for creators, publishers and developers: how can they get paid when an agent uses their work, sometimes for a fraction of a cent?
Our new Coinbase Institute @CoinbaseCBI paper, "Machine-to-machine payments in the AiFi era," examines why existing payment rails often struggle with high-velocity microtransactions—and why stablecoins on low-cost networks are a strong fit today.
The policy goal should be an open, interoperable payment layer, with safeguards that match the risks—not closed marketplaces that decide who can participate.

An AI agent that can buy data can keep working when the next step has a price.
Consider a research agent that needs a paid dataset or extra computing capacity. Protocols such as x402 let software request a resource, receive payment instructions, pay, and get access.
That closes a gap between planning a task and completing it. It also creates a new responsibility: controlling what the agent can spend.
Even small charges can become a large bill if a workflow repeats. A per-purchase limit needs a total budget, approved destinations, transaction records, and a clear point where human approval is required.
This is a building block of the machine economy: software acquiring resources to carry out delegated work.
Its usefulness depends on keeping purchasing authority narrower than technical capability. The agent’s ability to make a payment should never be the only reason that payment happens.

Someone has to foot the bill for the compute and bandwidth. Shouldn't it be the (abusive) crawler?

Cloudflare hosts 20-25% of the internet and just built a feature where AI agents automatically pay you when they scrape your data.
The protocol is called X402, an HTTP code that tells bots: pay a fraction of a cent or get nothing.
"Rather than having like 100 subscriptions, you just go and incrementally get whatever information you need". Crypto is the perfect currency for this agentic economy, and the AI crowd will have to accept stablecoins whether they like it or not.

There are ~$300B in tokenized assets today.
Global financial assets? Roughly $674 TRILLION.
@Matt_Hougan's point: tokenization could grow ~2,000x before it even reaches the size of today’s financial system.
If Wall Street really moves onchain, we’re still ridiculously early.

Many such case will happen in the future as company disallow bot activities, they may open the gate if bot pays the tolls?

The market data provider @massive_com recently started selling US stock data to AI agents one request at a time, paid in USDC, with no account and no API key (using @coinbase's x402 payment standard). As @kleffew94 mentioned in the partnership announcement, and I fully agree with, agents need real-time market data without the friction of API keys, subscriptions, or human provisioning.
Market data has traditionally been licensed in advance: per seat for someone at a terminal, or under firm-level agreements for the systems trading on it. This model introduces a new kind of buyer: software that pays for a piece of data at the moment it needs it.
For that buyer, a price without reliable time context is incomplete. An agent receiving a single observation needs to know not just what the market said, but also exactly when it was true.
That makes timestamping part of the market-data infrastructure. Inside @TheHUB, packets are timestamped in hardware as they enter the network against a shared GPS-synchronized clock, creating a common time reference for the data moving through it.

Monetization Gateway from @cloudflare is open for early access this week.
Great product example for x402 can simplify the purchasing and checkout UX for AI agents.

BOOM X402 Agent Payment News!
I will have an update on my sales to AI agents via X402 payments!
We sold some of the most interesting stuff to AI agents.
You will not believe what Anthropic AI and OpenAI thinks it needs when attached to an agent harness.
I will call this a massive success!
More soon.
Meet x402 AI Agent payments. It has 5 times more buyers than sellers on x402 marketplaces. But what do you sell to AI agents?I show you.
With perspectives on exactly what this means, a multi-perspective only an AI and Payments expert can grant. readmultiplex.com/2026/07/11…

AI is machine-native intelligence and crypto is machine-native money. Both AI and digital assets translate real-world inputs into formats machines can use. Our latest research looks at why that connection could become increasingly important as AI evolves. blackrock.com/us/individual/…

im letting @DevinAI fully run my mini saas and get its first customer
it's a thumbnail generator tool that lets humans or agents generate images and pay via @x402Foundation
devin runs a daily loop to work on growth, product, and marketing - it also has access to a wallet to pay for services it needs
it writes a journal on what its working on and shares everything publicly

lightning on x402
Block has joined the x402 Foundation, an open standard for agentic payments, to help build the rails that will let people, businesses, and agents pay and get paid.
We’ve also contributed Bitcoin Lightning payments, which is purpose-built for the instant, low-cost, high-volume payments that agentic commerce will depend on.
