BeInCrypto: 6.4M AI-agent payments moved just $120K, 90.8% under a cent
- —6.4M transactions over 35 days totaled just $119,947
- —90.8% of x402 payments were under $0.01, mostly API and compute
- —Institutional finance workflows scored 12.0/100 vs 60.7 for micropayments
- —14 of 19 major AI tools cap spending or transaction size
Why it matters: The data shows autonomous AI agents still handle only micropayments rather than meaningful capital, suggesting real demand for the crypto 'agent economy' lags the hype.
