MoonPay Launches Virtual Mastercard That Lets AI Agents Spend Stablecoins

The card ties self-custodial wallets to regulated payment rails with real-time crypto-to-fiat conversion.

Overview

  • MoonPay unveiled the MoonAgents Card on Friday, a virtual debit card on Mastercard’s network that lets users and AI agents pay merchants using stablecoins from onchain wallets.
  • The system converts stablecoins to local currency at checkout so online merchants see a normal card payment while funds come directly from a self-custodial wallet.
  • Monavate issues the card and runs real-time onchain funding and authorization, Exodus provides wallet integration, and users can revoke spending permissions at any time.
  • Availability starts today through MoonPay’s CLI in the UK and Latin America, with U.S. and EU rollouts planned in the coming months, and identity verification is required before issuance.
  • The launch builds on MoonPay’s agent tools, which have passed four million CLI tool calls, and follows its Sodot acquisition and MoonPay Institutional push as firms race to enable agent-driven payments.
