The XRP Ledger has processed over 13 million AI-powered payments using the x402 protocol, with 168 registered merchants participating. This milestone reflects rapid growth since July, when the network first crossed 1 million such transactions. Automated payments now account for about 25% of ledger activity, driven by XRP and Ripple's stablecoin RLUSD. Ripple's AI Starter Kit and x402 tools enable seamless automated payments for digital services, with expectations that more real-world businesses will adopt this technology. While transaction volume is high, the total payment value remains relatively modest, highlighting the use of small, frequent payments. Future growth could see the network reach 100 million AI-driven transactions, expanding blockchain-based automated commerce.
