Hedera's AI agents enable payments mainly in USDC, limiting HBAR token demand despite fee collection.

Hedera Hashgraph is developing AI agent accounts that allow automated payments from user accounts under controlled rules, without transferring private keys. These agents can spend using HBAR, USDC, or other Hedera tokens, but most transactions are expected to settle in USDC, reducing direct demand for HBAR. While HBAR is still required to pay network fees, the overall token demand generated by these payments is modest compared to Hedera's valuation. The feature is planned for public testing in early 2027 and mainnet launch in Q2 2027, pending security and legal approvals. This approach may attract businesses by offering flexible payment options but does not guarantee increased HBAR usage.

HBAR trades at Rp1.481 on Pluang, down 3.92% as of Oct 19, 2026 23:21 WIB. The token's market cap stands at Rp65,39T with a 24-hour volume of Rp2,1T. Despite new AI agent features, HBAR sees strong buy interest at 72% and typical hold time is 57 days.
