Visa has launched Visa CLI, the first product from its Visa Crypto Lab, designed to serve the payments sector for AI agents. This closed beta tool enables agents to pay for external API calls on-demand, such as image generation or market data, without requiring pre-configured accounts. Meanwhile, payment networks like Stripe and Mastercard, as well as crypto companies like Circle, are advancing their respective agent commerce frameworks, highlighting the differences between traditional trust layers and blockchain-native approaches in autonomous AI transactions.
