XDC Foundation

What does an AI agent actually pay for? At @XDCNetwork's “Unsupervised” build day at Hub71, agents used USDC to buy coffee, merchandise and services from other agents. A practical look at how AI and blockchain can work together in everyday commerce.

Happy Monday, XDC community! Three different corners of the financial system are evolving at once: payments, markets, and AI. Here’s how XDC showed up this week. 👇 XDC Weekly October 18, 2026 - October 24, 2026 _____________________________ SBI XDC Network APAC and SBI VC Trade @sbixdc and SBI VC Trade have signed an MOU with Shinhan Card to explore a blockchain-based payment and settlement ecosystem connecting digital assets with existing financial infrastructure. The collaboration will examine stablecoin-based cross-border payments, next-generation payment models, and potential integration with in-store payment services across Japan and South Korea. _____________________________ Derivatives in Motion @XDC_USA will host Derivatives in Motion in New York on October 26, bringing together participants from @GSR_io, @Lynq_Network, @DeriveXYZ, and @QAIXAlliance. The discussion will focus on liquidity, tokenization, and the infrastructure needed to support the continued development of on-chain and digital asset markets. _____________________________ XDC MENA Podcast A new episode of the XDC MENA Podcast features @REDausen and @TSharmaXinFin, Senior Blockchain Engineer at @XDCNetwork, discussing the infrastructure needed to support trusted AI agents in financial applications.

Happy Monday! This week’s updates center on a common theme: building financial infrastructure that is easier to access, faster to use, and more accountable as both institutions and AI agents move on-chain. Take a look 👇 XDC Weekly October 11, 2026 - October 17, 2026 _____________________________ XDC Network Featured on CNBC Brazil @XDCNetwork was featured on @otimesbrasil - CNBC Brazil, with @DConsimo of @xdc_latam joining Fast Money to discuss tokenization and the growth of blockchain-based financial infrastructure in Brazil. The conversation highlighted nearly BRL 8 billion, approximately USD 1.4 billion, in tokenized assets issued in the country and the growing participation of banks, securitization companies, credit originators, and other financial institutions. _____________________________ Fintech Times Interview with Atul Khekade XDC Network Co-Founder @atulkhekade joined @thefintechtimes at @Sibos Miami 2026 to discuss the evolution of institutional financial infrastructure. The interview covered real-time settlement, tokenization, changing consumer expectations, and the role AI could play as banks and financial institutions modernize their systems. _____________________________ Concordium Selected as KYA for XDC SI @Concordium has been selected as the identity verification layer for @XDC_SI, adding a Know Your Agent framework for AI agents transacting on XDC. The integration provides agents with a publicly verifiable on-chain credential confirming that a verified individual or business stands behind them, while preserving the owner’s privacy and allowing agents to retain their existing XDC wallets and operations.
