Ripple Integrates XRP and RLUSD into AI Agent Payments via XRPL AI Starter Kit 1.1
- —Version 1.1 supports Stripe and Tempo's Machine Payments Protocol and the Open Wallet Standard
- —XRP payment channels allow opening a session and paying for hundreds of requests without recording each transaction on-chain
- —Single payments already work with RLUSD, while continuous stablecoin channels await a ledger update
- —The x402 web payments standard was previously added to the Ripple ecosystem
Why it matters: It expands the use of XRP and RLUSD in autonomous AI agent payments, intensifying competition with x402 and other payment standards.
