According to Visa's official website, Visa and Artemis jointly released a report that deeply analyzes the current status and trends of AI agent payments based on real-time on-chain data. The report indicates that AI agent payments are divided into two categories: one is "macro commerce" where agents replace users to complete tasks like booking tickets and subscriptions, similar to traditional e-commerce payments; the other is "micro commerce" such as high-frequency, low-value API calls between software, where single transaction amounts are typically less than 1 cent. On-chain data shows that the open protocol x402, incubated by Coinbase and Cloudflare and now hosted by the Linux Foundation, has processed approximately 109 million transactions since launching in May 2025, with an adjusted transaction volume of about $15 million, mainly active on the Base, Solana, and Polygon chains; the Machine Payment Protocol (MPP), jointly built by Stripe and Tempo with Visa's contribution, launched in mid-March 2026 and completed approximately 115,000 transactions within weeks, with a settlement amount of about $25,000. The report notes that blockchain settlement costs have dropped to extremely low levels, making small payments in the 1-cent to 1-dollar range economically feasible for the first time, but agent payments still face significant challenges at the legal and regulatory level regarding trust, liability attribution, and dispute resolution. Visa stated that its goal is to build a unified foundation that simultaneously supports card-native trust authorization and machine-native settlement

on July 9 that Grayscale released research stating that stock tokenization will undergo three stages of development, with Ethereum, Solana, BNB Chain, Avalanche, and Canton Network most likely to benefit as ownership models evolve. Grayscale noted that third-party wrapped tokens account for over 70% of the tokenized stock market capitalization. In this model, traditional stocks are placed in special purpose vehicles, and investors receive tokens representing claims on the vehicle's equity, rather than direct ownership. Such wrapped assets operate on Ethereum, Solana, and BNB Chain, and can be traded and integrated into decentralized finance applications. Grayscale identified the pilot program planned by DTCC as the second stage of tokenized stock development, with Canton Network set to be the first blockchain used for the DTCC tokenization pilot. The third stage is issuer-sponsored tokenization, where companies natively issue securities on-chain. Securitize became the first publicly traded company to tokenize its own common stock when it listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Grayscale expects that wrapped tokens, the DTCC equity model, and issuer-sponsored issuance will coexist for the next several years. (Bitcoin.com News).

, Offchain Labs co-founder Steven Goldfeder stated that 10% of the fees generated by Robinhood Chain and other Arbitrum L2 networks will flow to the Arbitrum ecosystem, with 8% entering a treasury controlled by token holders and 2% allocated for development funding.According to the introduction, Robinhood Chain is now live on the Robinhood wallet and supports connections to Solana, Ethereum, and Arbitrum networks. Previously, Arbitrum One contributed 100% of its fee revenue to the treasury.This mechanism means the ARB token holder treasury will gain a continuous source of revenue, which could be used in the future for ecosystem grants, buybacks, or staking rewards, among other uses. If transaction volume on Robinhood Chain continues to grow, the market believes it could further enhance the revenue-generating capacity of the Arbitrum ecosystem.
