Google has released the Agent Payments Protocol (AP2), a new open-source payment system intended to make it easier for different AI apps to send and receive payments. The payment service supports payment options like credit cards, debit cards, and stablecoins. According to Google, “AP2 is an open, shared protocol that provides a common language for secure, compliant transactions between agents and merchants, helping to prevent a fragmented ecosystem. It also supports different payment types [..] This helps ensure a consistent, secure, and scalable experience for users and merchants, while also providing financial institutions with the clarity they need to effectively manage risk.” To incorporate stablecoin rails, Google teamed up with US-based crypto exchange Coinbase, which has been developing its own AI-integrated payments infrastructure. Google collaborates with over 60 companies Google has also collaborated with the Ethereum Foundation and over 60 companies, including Adyen, American Express, Ant International, Etsy, Forter, Intuit, JCB, Mastercard, Mysten Labs, PayPal, Revolut, Salesforce, ServiceNow, UnionPay International, Worldpay, and more, to cover traditional finance use cases. Google’s Web3 head, James Tromans, said the system was built from the ground up to work with old payment systems and upcoming capabilities such as stablecoins. Also, Erik Reppel, head of Coinbase Developer Platform Engineering, said that the companies took steps to ensure interoperability between Google’s payment mechanisms and those of Coinbase. The initiative builds on what Google has already done to set a standard for “AI agents.” These agents can already write code or browse online marketplaces, and now they could buy goods or pay for services on their own. Tech executives predict that AI-to-AI interactions will soon become common, with no manual steps needed. The most recent update adds financial transactions to that framework. These digital agents might be able to do complex tasks like shopping for clothes or negotiating mortgages without direct human input. The other goal is to make sure that payments are safe, can be used with other systems, and are carried out with the user’s purpose in mind. Now, the combination of credit card rails and crypto support will make the protocol adaptable for global users. With both tech and financial giants backing it, adoption could accelerate across different platforms quickly. The GENIUS Act pulls big fish into the stablecoin market Google’s trial shows that the stablecoin market is becoming more active. Circle’s oversubscribed IPO earlier this year showed that investors were very much interested. Some have even said that stablecoins are a “monetary revolution in the making.” This is because the GENIUS Act became law, which makes US laws more crypto-friendly. This is why Big Tech is interested in stablecoins more. Since July 2025, when the GENIUS Act set up the first government rules for issuing stablecoins in the US, the number of stablecoins has seemed to explode. For instance, the value of shares in Circle, the company that made the USDC stablecoin, went up a lot. Tether announced a US-regulated stablecoin. In addition, American Express Travel also joined the blockchain world on September 16 with its own mobile app. Stablecoins like USDC are included alongside credit and debit cards, making the system flexible for different payment types. Stablecoin market cap. Source Defillama Coinbase Institutional says that the stablecoin market cap could reach $1.2 trillion by the end of 2028. McKinsey says that it will be more than $400 billion by the end of 2025 and reach around $2 trillion by 2028. Meanwhile, on-chain data shows $289 billion worth of stablecoins are in circulation, a jump from $205 billion at the turn of the year. If you're reading this, you’re already ahead.

Circle announced its expansion on the Hyperliquid chain, with a native version of USDC. The asset will be added to the existing bridged USDC, expanding Circle’s influence. Circle, Inc. announced the launch of a native USDC version on the Hyperliquid native chain. The version will be added to the balance of bridged USDC, at over $5.9B. The decision to integrate Circle breaks away from the scenario where USDC abandons Hyperliquid, to be replaced completely by USDH. The recent decision will mean both stablecoins will coexist on the perpetual futures DEX. Jeremy Allaire, co-founder of Circle, announced that USDC would expand with a HyperEVM version, in addition to a CCTP V2 facility for cross-chain transfers. Circle will also become one of the chain’s stakeholders after acquiring a share of HYPE tokens. Circle and USDC Expansion with Hyperliquid Today marks a major milestone in our expansion and engagement with the Hyperliquid ecosystem, with the official launch of Native USDC and CCTP V2 on HyperEVM, bringing the world’s most reliable, liquid, interoperable and globally… — Jeremy Allaire – jda.eth / jdallaire.sol (@jerallaire) September 16, 2025 The native version was announced just a day after Hyperliquid’s team prepares to launch the USDH ticker. As Cryptopolitan reported , Hyperliquid picked the Native Markets team to launch the token. Hours before the announcement, Circle also bridged 2M USDC from Arbitrum to HyperEVM, though the amount was relatively small compared to the scale of Hyperliquid’s trading. The partnership with Circle also calms the fears of USDC being transferred out of Hyperliquid. For now, the USDC token remains the main source of liquidity and pair-building. The main stablecoin on Hyperliquid may result in up to $200M in fees for the issuer. The future liquidity and growth of Hyperliquid will show if USDC and USDH are complementary or will be competing for attention. As the issuer of a native asset, Circle secured its position within the Hyperliquid ecosystem. As one of the major assets, Circle may receive a significant share of fees from trading activity. Staking HYPE may also boost the revenues of Circle from the ecosystem. Until recently, USDT and USDC were not subjected to staking requirements due to the well-established liquidity and influence of the tokens. Until September 2025, Circle held 8.20% of its supply of USDC on Hyperliquid. The issuer earned up to $109M to date from bridging and USDC usage. It remains to be seen how the native USDC will affect the activity of the Arbitrum-Hyperliquid bridge , which was the main point of entry for USDC into the Hyperliquid ecosystem. USDC measures Hyperliquid liveliness USDC deposits give a glimpse of the activity on Hyperliquid. The token has become a proxy for whale activity, as well as the liquidity trends on the exchange. USDC deposits became more frequent in September, though transferring lower amounts. | Source: Dune Analytics Deposits range from up to $49M for some of the biggest whales to a few hundred dollars for regular traders. In September, USDC inflows increased, with more regular deposits. The average deposit size is at a lower baseline of $18,150, as an average between whales and small-scale users. The bulk of deposits is for under $400 in USDC. Circle’s CCTP feature may also change the way Hyperliquid traders are depositing and moving USDC. The token is interoperable across the crypto ecosystem, meaning traders can shift the tokens more easily to another network. Circle will offer easier liquidity flows and faster cross-chain operations, potentially bringing users from multiple ecosystems. Want your project in front of crypto’s top minds?
