AI Agents Displace Card-Based Payment Rails

Joe Lau of Alchemy argues that AI agents will drive enterprises to replace credit-card rails with stablecoin-based push payments, potentially displacing 20% of card settlement volume by the end of 2026. He cites Gartner's projection that 33% of enterprise applications will include AI agents by 2028 and points to the GENIUS Act plus corporate pilots from Visa, Revolut and Stripe as enabling compliant programmable rails.
