Ripple has enhanced its XRP Ledger (XRPL) by introducing support for AI agent payments using XRP and Ripple USD (RLUSD) through the new XRPL AI Starter Kit. This developer toolkit enables AI agents to autonomously send, receive, and manage payments, facilitating machine-driven financial workflows with minimal human intervention.
