Ripple releases XRPL AI toolkit: targeting AI-powered agent payments, challenging the USDC-dominated micropayment market.

CoinFeed reported on June 13th that, according to CoinDesk, Ripple is attempting to introduce XRP and its stablecoin Ripple USD into the AI ​​agent payment market, aiming to penetrate the on-chain micropayment system currently dominated by the USD stablecoin. Ripple has reportedly announced the release of the "XRPL AI Starter Kit," providing developers with a toolkit for building AI agent payment capabilities. This allows agents to complete payments, balance inquiries, and wallet operations on the XRP Ledger, and supports automated payment processes based on the x402 protocol. The toolkit includes access to XRPL data sources via an MCP server, Claude skill integration (wallet creation, balance inquiry, and payment functions), and support for machine-to-machine payments between XRP and RLUSD within the x402 framework.
