HSBC and Ant Digital testing AI Agent payments, enabling real-time settlement through tokenized deposits
BlockBeats reports,October 10, HSBC and Ant Digital announced the completion of AI Agent micropayment technology validation testing. The test combined HSBC’s tokenized deposit service, Ant Digital’s Anvita Flow network and Jovay testnet, demonstrating the process by which AI Agent autonomously discovers digital services, selects services, and completes payments, with individual micropayments typically below 2 USD.
HSBC was responsible for payment settlement and real-time risk checks,Anvita Flow was responsible for coordinating service access and payments, while Jovay provided the Layer 2 blockchain test environment. Transactions were settled through the blockchain testnet.
The parties emphasized that this test was solely for technical validation and did not represent the formal commercialization or customer launch of the relevant products. As AI Agent gradually become capable of autonomously calling services and executing transactions, tokenized deposits, stablecoins, and blockchain payment infrastructure are becoming important areas for financial institutions exploring machine-to-machine payments.
