MoonPay launches AI agents for autonomous crypto management

MoonPay Agents lets AI autonomously manage wallets and execute crypto transactions after user verification, advancing automation in decentralized finance.

MoonPay has introduced MoonPay Agents, a non-custodial financial infrastructure designed to let AI agents autonomously manage wallets, access funds, and execute crypto transactions. After users verify their identity and fund the agent’s wallet via MoonPay, the AI agent can independently trade, swap, and transfer assets within user-defined permissions. The system operates through the MoonPay CLI and supports advanced features such as recurring purchases, cross-chain swaps, and machine-to-machine payments using the x402 standard. This innovation bridges AI automation with decentralized finance, enabling AI agents to act economically once verification and funding are complete. MoonPay Agents’ non-custodial design ensures users retain full control over their wallets, while compliance with KYC and AML regulations is maintained. The launch marks a significant step toward automating financial services and expanding AI-driven processes in the crypto sector.
