Overview
- Oobit introduced virtual Visa-backed Agent Cards that let AI agents pay in USDT without human input, which the company says draws funds directly from Tether’s treasury without fiat conversion.
- The first wave went to a small group of companies, with broader onboarding gated by know-your-business checks through June 30.
- Each card is assigned to a single AI agent to keep a clear audit trail across transactions.
- Oobit says the cards include transaction-level controls that cap spending and block purchases at unapproved merchants.
- The company reports compatibility with OpenAI, Claude, AutoGen, and LangChain for tasks like subscriptions, ad budgets, and cloud services, and advisers and industry voices cast this as a step toward agent-led commerce.
