Exodus has launched XO Cash, a new stablecoin built specifically for AI agents, as crypto firms race to build payment infrastructure for autonomous software systems.<\/p>\n
The Omaha-based crypto wallet company announced the launch on 8 May, saying the product allows developers to give AI agents their own wallets and spending capabilities without handing over private keys.<\/p>\n
XO Cash runs on Solana and was developed in partnership with MoonPay. The system includes \u201cAgentKit,\u201d a software development kit that enables developers to create agent wallets via a single API call.<\/p>\n
The launch comes as AI-agent commerce emerges as one of crypto\u2019s fastest-growing narratives. Several firms now want blockchain networks and stablecoins to power machine-to-machine payments, subscriptions, data purchases, and automated online services.<\/p>\n
Agents can spend without controlling keys<\/p>\n
Exodus says XO Cash solves one of the biggest problems facing autonomous AI systems: secure access to money.<\/p>\n
Under the setup, users keep custody of their assets while agents operate under predefined spending rules. Developers can set daily limits, merchant restrictions, transaction caps, and rate limits.<\/p>\n
\u201cAgents need to spend, and they shouldn\u2019t have to manage keys to do it,\u201d Exodus CEO JP Richardson said in the announcement.<\/p>\n
The company also said each agent wallet can issue its own debit card through infrastructure built with MoonPay and Monavate. The cards work anywhere Visa is accepted.<\/p>\n
XO Cash also supports automatic conversion into USDC or USDT during payments, allowing agents to transact across different stablecoin ecosystems.<\/p>\n
AI payments become a growing crypto battleground<\/p>\n
The launch adds Exodus to a growing list of firms targeting AI-driven payments infrastructure.<\/p>\n
