XRP and RLUSD AI agent transactions continue to climb through the x402 XRP Ledger Facilitator, approaching 4 million. Over 3.992 million agentic transactions have already settled on the XRPL, with AI agents using XRP and RLUSD to pay for services directly onchain.
In a new milestone, the total number of agentic transactions on the XRP Ledger has hit 3,992,146, a new ATH (All-Time High).
On September 1 2026, t54 reported in an X post that agentic transactions had surpassed 3 million, reaching 3.1 million. The increase to 3.992 million transactions suggests an addition of 0.89 million in four days.
This growth follows as AI agents continue to transact, pay for services, and settle value autonomously, creating demand for financial infrastructure built for machine-to-machine commerce.
In particular, AI agents pay for various services on the XRP Ledger, including token analysis, crypto intelligence, market research, and prediction-market forecasts, paid for in XRP or RLUSD.
In June 2026, Ripple launched the XRPL AI Starter Kit, which included a set of tools and integrations designed to help developers build agentic payment applications on the XRP Ledger (XRPL). The launch included support for X402-powered payments using XRP and Ripple USD (RLUSD), enabling AI agents to transact for APIs, compute, and other digital services.
XRP Ledger agentic payments gain Mastercard support
t54's x402 facilitator and trust layer enable agent payments in XRP and RLUSD, as well as payment verification and pre-settlement risk checks.
This is further supported by the fact that agent payments on the XRP Ledger support Mastercard's Verifiable Intent standard. Through the x402 Facilitator, developers can prove who authorized a payment, under what limits, and for which purchase, while Trustline screens it before settlement.
At the start of September 2026, Ripple partner t54, which provides the x402 facilitator for agentic payments on the XRP Ledger, announced its selection for Mastercard Start Path's Agentic Commerce & Services.
This move allows merchants and payment networks using the t54 infrastructure to safely transact with agents via real-time identity verification, risk assessment, and dispute resolution.
