A new approach to transactions is being explored to support the agentic economy, with a focus on sub-cent transactions. Some outlets suggest that traditional credit card payment systems may not be able to handle the volume of transactions driven by artificial intelligence, while others discuss the potential of nanopayments and stablecoins in this context. The development of new payment systems and protocols, such as those from Circle and Tempo, is also being reported in relation to the agentic economy.
