Circle has introduced Agent Stack, a suite of tools enabling AI agents to buy digital services using the USDC stablecoin. Launched on May 11, the products include Agent Wallets, a marketplace, a command-line interface, and nanopayments via Circle Gateway, allowing programmable payments and spending controls across blockchains. In Q2 2026, Agent Stack supported over 900 paid services with USDC settling 99.3% of agent-payment volume on one payment protocol, highlighting growing use of USDC in automated AI transactions. The nanopayment system supports extremely small, gas-free transfers, potentially expanding automated digital service purchases.
