Part 8/12:
Major industry players are beginning to take notice. Google recently announced support for X42 via its AP2 payment protocol, allowing AI agents to make USDC-based purchases. Cloudflare and Coinbase have jointly established the X42 Foundation, promoting an open, neutral standard for web payments—signaling serious industry commitment.
The movement is also supported by infrastructure giants like Chainlink, which integrates X42 for verified data and automated payments, thereby creating a connective tissue between real-world data, blockchain assets, and payment protocols.
