OSL Group (HKEX: 863), a Hong Kong-listed stablecoin payment and trading platform, launched OSL AgentPay on August 7. It is payment infrastructure built specifically for AI agents: a developer expresses a payment intent and AgentPay handles routing, signing, and settlement in stablecoins, at the micro-value, high-frequency scale that agent-to-agent commerce runs at.
Highlights#
Multi-asset by design. AgentPay supports several stablecoins at launch, including USDT, USDC, and OSL's enterprise stablecoin USDGO, alongside multiple payment protocols such as x402, AP2, and MPP. Developers integrate once rather than stitching protocols to wallets to chains themselves.
Settlement is the stated gap. OSL argues that open protocols like x402 and AP2 standardize how agents negotiate terms and carry payment authorization, but do not decide how value converts across currencies or reaches its endpoint. AgentPay pairs a protocol-compatible gateway with OSL's settlement core to close that loop.
Zero gas and nano-payments. Among its eight advertised capabilities are zero gas fees to the agent, nano-payment support, multi-wallet compatibility, and a global fiat on- and off-ramp through Banxa, which OSL is progressively integrating.
Asia first, then global. OSL AI Labs will partner with developers across Asia to prove out payment scenarios before extending to enterprise customers worldwide. CEO Kevin Cui framed agents as the connective tissue of tomorrow's society.
A big market thesis. The release cites McKinsey research projecting global agentic commerce could reach US$3 trillion to US$5 trillion by 2030.
Why it matters#
AgentPay names the part of the stack that most agent-payment announcements gloss over: settlement. Protocols can negotiate and authorize, but agents still need a reliable rail that converts intent into value delivered. Escrow and verified release sit on the same axis, the difference between a payment being authorized and a payment being settled on terms an agent and its owner can trust.
