PANews reported on September 22nd that, according to Fortune magazine, Louis Amira, former head of crypto and AI partnerships at Stripe, and David Noël-Romas, former head of crypto engineering at Stripe, have secured $19.2 million in funding for their new startup, Circuit & Chisel, to develop the AI-powered payment protocol ATXP. In addition to its Stripe background (and financial backing), Circuit & Chisel has also received investment from Primary Venture Partners, ParaFi, and Coinbase Ventures. The ATXP protocol, designed as "HTTP for AI agent payments," aims to address the current lack of a standardized communication protocol between AI agents. Amira stated that if ATXP succeeds, it could enable the field of microtransactions. In this scenario, intelligent agents could autonomously access information and pay small fees, such as scraping information from a private LinkedIn profile or accessing a premium Fortune article. These platforms would then be able to charge small fees in return.PANews reported on September 22nd that, according to Fortune magazine, Louis Amira, former head of crypto and AI partnerships at Stripe, and David Noël-Romas, former head of crypto engineering at Stripe, have secured $19.2 million in funding for their new startup, Circuit & Chisel, to develop the AI-powered payment protocol ATXP.

Asked about key investment priorities, Lopez highlighted stablecoins. “We care deeply about three questions: How do we accelerate stablecoin ubiquity? What will users want to do with them once highly distributed? And what net new assets can we construct now that we have sophisticated market infrastructure?” Lopez added. However, VanEck is not limiting itself to the hottest narrative, acknowledging that decentralized finance (DeFi) is having a renaissance. The VanEck executive also noted that success will depend on new approaches to identity and programmable compliance layered on public blockchains.
