It's official, we're forming the governing body that will guide the future of agentic payments in crypto alongside our friends @linuxfoundation @coinbase @stripe and many others.
Back in September, Google was the first company to launch an agentic payments protocol supporting both traditional payment methods as well as crypto with our Agentic Payments Protocol x402 extension.
Now we'll be continuing those efforts by serving on the governing body responsible for the stewardship of x402 and agentic commerce.

Proper orchestration and usage of AI is an unlock unlike anything we’ve seen before. I’ve been using a tool I built that 10x’s how quickly I can move as well as gives dramatically higher quality through things like debates between agents. Take a look and see if it helps you! lightspark.com/news/insights…

I've been at @Google since I was an intern, and there's never been a more exciting time. The place is pulsating.
We're hiring :)

Weekend quest… Experimenting sending $ from a US bank to @CashApp using UMA + @lightspark Grid. Very little work left to make this fully native within Cash App to enable sending and receiving to/from 65+ countries. Open networks FTW! Hat tip to Cash App team.

Instant, Bitcoin-powered settlement is now live across the EU & UK.
We’re partnering with @herclegroup to connect deep EUR/GBP liquidity so institutions can move money between Bitcoin and bank accounts in seconds, not days.

A moment of appreciation for the most driven, talented, and mission-focused team in Bitcoin and payments.
The work we’re doing today is shaping the future of open payments.

My new favorite “impress your friend” thing to do on weekends is showing off @SoFi’s new, realtime, ultra-cheap international payment experience. I show 🇺🇸 to 🇲🇽, on a weekend (other banks can’t do it), and the $ magically gets to MX in 2 seconds. Built on invisible Bitcoin.
Alberto Martin retweeted
Giddy up!! 🙏 @SoFi
Just used $SOFI to send money to my cousin in Mexico $50, cost was 25 cents
They just ate @remitly ‘s lunch maybe some of western union as well
She’s a teacher and works in an impoverished area, I told her to spend it on the kids
This will also be huge because I am retiring in 2 months and moving to Mexico.
Thanks @anthonynoto
Get your money right

"If the Internet could move value natively, would you use anything else?"
- Lightspark CEO @davidmarcus’ keynote at Sync’25.
➡️ How @Lightspark has expanded the network’s reach across real-time payment systems, banks, wallets, and regions worldwide
➡️ How @spark has matured into the fastest and simplest way for builders to launch on Bitcoin
➡️ How Grid now unifies everything through one simple API platform for global money movement
➡️ And how all of it runs on Bitcoin — a network no one can own or control, the only foundation fit for the Internet of money
