Nasdaq-listed OwlTing Bets on AI-driven Payments with Stablecoin Wallet Launch

Taiwan-based blockchain technology firm OwlTing Group said it has launched a self-custody digital wallet designed for AI agents, betting on the rise of “agentic commerce” where AI systems can make payments and conduct transactions on behalf of users.

The Nasdaq-listed company said its new OwlPay Wallet Pro for Agents enables AI assistants to send, receive, and manage stablecoins across the Ethereum ecosystem, Stellar, and Solana blockchains, while allowing users to retain control of their own private keys and funds.

“The technology industry has been giving AI the ability to think. Our focus has been on giving AI the ability to transact under regulated rules,” OwlTing founder and CEO Darren Wang said.

The wallet includes a built-in “agent skill” that allows compatible AI assistants to learn how to operate it automatically through natural-language interactions, without requiring manual configuration by users, per the announcement.

The launch comes as payments and technology companies race to build infrastructure for AI-driven commerce.

McKinsey has estimated that agentic commerce could account for between $3 trillion and $5 trillion in global consumer transactions by 2030, with the US retail market alone representing up to $1 trillion of that opportunity.

OwlTing said traditional payment systems were not designed for autonomous software agents, creating demand for regulated wallet infrastructure tied to stablecoin settlement rails.

The company said it currently holds money transmitter licenses or equivalents in 40 US states and has integrated Visa Direct to support US debit card funding for USDC transactions.

Wang said every AI agent that acts on behalf of a user will eventually need a compliant wallet layer.

He added that such infrastructure should be backed by “genuine licensing infrastructure, user-controlled custody, and payment rails designed for real-world transactions.”

The stablecoin wallet launch further highlights how stablecoin providers are increasingly positioning digital assets as payment infrastructure rather than speculative crypto products.

The challenge for OwlTing will be to convert its licensing footprint and wallet technology into adoption among developers, merchants, and AI platforms that are still testing commercial use cases for autonomous payments.
