Cryptocurrency exchange\u00a0OKX<\/a>\u00a0is launching a marketplace that lets artificial intelligence (AI) agents hire each other and autonomously settle payments.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe coming decade will be defined by one-person companies that generate over a million dollars in annual revenue \u2014 because every individual effectively gains an unlimited workforce,\u201d\u00a0Star Xu<\/a>, founder and CEO of OKX,\u00a0told<\/a>\u00a0TechCrunch Tuesday (June 30) as\u00a0OKX.AI<\/a>\u00a0launched.<\/p>\n

\u201cTraditional financial infrastructure was built for humans. The\u00a0agentic economy<\/a>\u00a0needs infrastructure designed for autonomous software. That is why we built OKX.AI.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to that report, the marketplace expands on technology OKX developed to let AI agents hold digital wallets, make payments with stablecoins, and develop persistent identities.<\/p>\n

TechCrunch noted that the launch is the latest in a series of efforts by OKX to expand beyond cryptocurrency trading to become a FinTech. The company, which has 150 million users worldwide, is banking on the notion that the next generation of customers will include AI agents.<\/p>\n

Haider Rafique, OKX\u2019s chief marketing officer and global managing partner, told the publication\u00a0the firm thinks \u201cagentic commerce\u201d could become a trillion-dollar market in the next five years, fueled by\u00a0micropayments<\/a>\u00a0and autonomous software.<\/p>\n

The marketplace is geared toward crypto developers making AI applications and solo entrepreneurs wanting to automate parts of their businesses with\u00a0AI agents<\/a>, Rafique said.<\/p>\n

OKX expects those developers to construct applications for the marketplace, letting other users access AI-powered tools without having to build them from the ground up.<\/p>\n

In other agentic AI news, PYMNTS spoke earlier this week with\u00a0Karan Katyal<\/a>, global head of agentic commerce at\u00a0Adyen<\/a>, to get some perspective about how far along the technology has come on a scale of 1 to 5.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are at version 0.5,\u201d Katyal said in an interview with PYMNTS CEO Karen Webster. \u201cWe are in the\u00a0earliest of early days<\/a>. Still.\u201d<\/p>\n

He framed it this way: Intelligence works, and people already depend on large language models to\u00a0research products<\/a>, weigh their options and pare down the possibilities. While discovery feels effortless, everything is a struggle, PYMNTS wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cInfrastructure is a much bigger block than folks thought about, perhaps,\u201d Katyal said.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s a polite way of putting it, PYMNTS wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cA traditional product listing needs maybe a dozen attributes to show up nicely on a webpage. An AI agent that\u2019s trying to tell two similar products apart needs far more, like maybe three times more,\u201d the report added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Cryptocurrency exchange\u00a0OKX\u00a0is launching a marketplace that lets artificial intelligence (AI) agents hire each other and autonomously settle payments.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":91037,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[405,25,7537,3277,66,27437,310,311],"class_list":["post-91036","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-agentic-ai","tag-ai-agents","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-artificial-intelligence-agents","tag-cryptocurrency","tag-news","tag-okx","tag-pymnts-news","tag-whats-hot"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/91036","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=91036"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/91036\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/91037"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=91036"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=91036"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=91036"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
