ChainCatcher news, MoonPay launched the "MoonAgents Card", a stablecoin debit card based on the Mastercard network, designed for AI agents to spend directly from on-chain self-custody wallets. The virtual card is issued through Monavate and cooperates with the Exodus wallet to convert stablecoins into fiat currency in real time for payments made by online merchants accepting Mastercard worldwide, without the need to preload funds or transfer assets off-chain. Funds are immediately returned to the wallet when the transaction fails, and the wallet custody is never transferred. The CEO of MoonPay said that this solves the pain point that AI agents were previously unable to spend on the merchant side, and is currently available in the UK and Latin America through the MoonPay CLI, and will be launched soon in the United States and the European Union (KYC required). This move targets the future trend of AI agents using cryptocurrencies for transactions on a large scale.
