MoonPay Introduces Virtual Debit Card for AI Agents
- MoonPay launched the MoonAgents Card, allowing AI agents to use stablecoins at any online Mastercard merchant.
- The card converts crypto to fiat currency at purchase without needing pre-loaded custodial funds.
- Available in the U.K. and Latin America, with plans to expand to the U.S. and EU requiring identity verification for issuance.
- Partnerships include Monavate for payments infrastructure and Exodus for self-custody wallets.
