Deep Tide TechFlow News, on March 12, a16z partner Noah Levine announced that Coinbase’s built x402 protocol has been integrated by Stripe, Cloudflare, and Vercel, and Google will also incorporate x402 into its intelligent agent payment protocol.

However, there are significant discrepancies in the on-chain payment data initiated by AI intelligent agents through the x402 protocol from different sources.

Bloomberg, citing data from x402.org, reports that the total AI agent payments in the past 30 days reached $24 million; on-chain data from the analysis platform Allium Labs shows approximately $3 million during the same period; Artemis Analytics analyst OnchainLu, after filtering out wash trading, further adjusted this figure to $1.6 million.
