Mastercard launches Agent Pay for Machines on Base with Cloudflare
Mastercard and Cloudflare launched Agent Pay for Machines on Base, letting AI agents pay for digital services via x402.

Holders of tokenized Mag 7 stocks deposited $9.57M on Aave on @base and borrowed $4.08M $USDC. 3 out of every 4 of them were new to @aave. Mastercard also launched Agent Pay for Machines on Base with Cloudflare: AI agents pay for digital services using x402. According to research from Coinbase and The Block, sending $200 in USDC on Base is about 86% cheaper than traditional services. Liquidity keeps growing too: Morpho Midnight passed $100M in deposits, Spark supplied $400M USDC to the cbBTC/USDC market, and Aero launched as Aerodrome’s unified liquidity layer. Usually a new product just moves the same users around. Here, stocks are bringing new people into DeFi.
