Circle Agentic Lead: AI Finance is The Next Trillion Dollar Market (What's Really Coming)

Circle's new agentic finance wizard Shafu Elfouly joins us to unpack why he's betting his career on the acceleration of agentic finance. He breaks down x402, the 30-year-old unused HTTP payment status code that stablecoins finally activated, letting AI agents pay for API access with one unified wallet instead of juggling dozens of subscriptions and API keys. He also takes us through Circle's full agent stack offering a glimpse into the future where anyone can deploy an agent with instant USDC payment access, and more.

Shafu Elfouly is a Staff Software Engineer at Circle, working on x402 and the infrastructure powering agentic commerce with USDC.
