Svmuu reported that Morph has released the "The Agentic Economy" report, predicting that by 2028, the global gross merchandise value (GMV) influenced by AI agents will exceed $500 billion. The report suggests that AI is evolving from content generation and suggestion tools into an economic participant capable of discovering goods, initiating payments, and completing transactions.
The report indicates that the infrastructure for Agentic Commerce is forming around four layers: identity, authorization, checkout, and settlement. Standards such as MCP, AP2, ACP, UCP, the Visa Trusted Agent Protocol, ERC-8004, and x402 are collectively building the technical stack for autonomous commercial interactions.
Morph predicts that by 2028, the number of commercial stablecoin payment transactions initiated by AI agents will surpass those made manually. Additionally, one in ten households in the United States will regularly authorize AI agents to make purchases on their behalf.
