Payments giant American Express announced it is accelerating its push into the AI payments space and has launched a developer toolkit for "agentic commerce," promising purchase protection for erroneous transactions generated by registered AI agents. The toolkit is designed to support AI agents in carrying out economic activities such as payments on behalf of users, while reducing fraud and dispute risks through mechanisms such as only opening payment credentials to verified agents and authenticating cardholders. In addition, American Express said it already has mature mechanisms for handling transaction disputes, which can provide safeguards for AI agent misoperations, thereby boosting user trust and driving transaction volume growth. It has also formulated "multiple plans" for stablecoins; these plans may explore stablecoin settlement scenarios rather than payments, but specific details were not disclosed.

According to Foresight News, citing Newsis, South Korea's Ministry of Economy and Finance said that a pilot project for using digital currency in the execution of national treasury funds has been selected as a topic for the 2026 targeted regulatory sandbox.
