Anchorage Digital Launches Agentic Banking With Google Cloud

The move brings bank‑grade controls to machine payments sought by institutions.

Overview

  • Anchorage Digital introduced a banking service that lets AI agents move money across bank and blockchain networks without human involvement.
  • Google Cloud provides an intelligence layer that lets agents find services, negotiate terms, and coordinate transactions in real time.
  • Each agent receives a verified identity plus preset spending limits, permissions, policy rules, and audit trails designed for compliance teams.
  • Broader adoption is taking shape as Coinbase reports 165 million x402 transactions across 480,000 agents and Solana’s new gateway enables stablecoin payments for API access.
  • Oobit now offers a Visa virtual card that allows agents to make online purchases in USDT with funds drawn directly from Tether’s treasury.
