AI agents get independent USDC wallets on XDC chain

XDC Network teamed up with Keyban to let AI agents run their own payment accounts. Agents can now browse and pay for APIs on the XDC AI marketplace in USDC while companies keep strict oversight through preset budgets.

Keyban issues each agent a separate balance that never leaves corporate control. Every transaction settles directly on the XDC blockchain and stays linked to the exact task that triggered it, removing the need for shared cards or pooled wallets.

Atal Khekde of XDC Network said traditional finance tools were built for people, not autonomous agents. Charles Kremer of Keyban added that finance teams want clear spending rules before handing any agent real money.

Keyban also joined the Plug and Play Agentic Payments accelerator run with XDC Network, aiming to speed up tools for machine-to-machine commerce.
