Report: 90.8% of AI agent payments are sub-cent microtransactions

  • —6.4 million transactions over 35 days moved only $119,947 in total
  • —Institutional financial flows scored 12 out of 100 on readiness
  • —14 of 19 trading tools operate strictly within human-set spending limits
  • —AI-labeled tools drove under 0.55% of Hyperliquid trading volume
Why it matters: Payment rails for AI agents are running far ahead of real commercial demand, undercutting the narrative of autonomous agents as a near-term crypto growth driver.
