Ripple has integrated the XRP Ledger and its stablecoin RLUSD with the x402 payment standard, enabling AI agents to make autonomous on-chain payments without human involvement. The x402 standard revives the HTTP 402 Payment Required status code to facilitate micropayments per API call, suited for machine-to-machine transactions. Ripple positions RLUSD as the primary settlement asset while XRP benefits from transaction fees and liquidity roles.

This move aligns with Ripple's strategy to provide compliant, institutional payment infrastructure for emerging AI-driven commerce.
