XRP Ledger Gets x402 Facilitator For AI Agent Payments: Why This Is Bullish
t54.ai has launched an x402 “facilitator” on the XRP Ledger (XRPL), a payments relay that lets AI agents pay for API calls and digital services in-line with normal HTTP requests using XRP or RLUSD. The pitch is simple: turn pay-per-request into a native part of the web stack, no accounts, no API keys, and settlement that happens on-chain.None of this guarantees meaningful volume. But it does make the path to volume legible: more x402-enabled endpoints, more agent clients, and more facilitators that can clear payments cheaply and predictably.
