AEON unveils stablecoin-funded cards for AI agent payments

  • —AEON lets agents issue one-time Visa and Mastercard virtual cards from a stablecoin-funded wallet
  • —Agentic Checkout launched on September 4 and supports Shopify, Travala and Amazon
  • —AEON plans to add QR-code payments for Southeast Asia, Latin America and Africa in coming months
  • —The project raised an $8 million pre-seed led by YZi Labs in May
Why it matters: A shift of agent payments to stablecoins would create new demand for USDT and USDC in machine-to-machine settlement.
