OSL Group (HKEX: 863), a global stablecoin payment and trading platform, launched OSL AgentPay on Aug. 07, 2026, introducing a multi-stablecoin payment infrastructure designed specifically for AI agents. Based in Hong Kong, OSL aims to empower the rapidly growing AI-driven economic activity by allowing developer AI agents to make autonomous, intent-based payments via stablecoins. The launch addresses the high-frequency, micro-value payment demands between agents, providing a single-integration gateway that combines protocol compatibility with OSL’s global settlement core.

The new infrastructure supports multiple stablecoins, including USDT, USDC, and USDGO, alongside several payment protocols such as x402, AP2, and MPP. Developers can integrate via API immediately, expressing payment intent—amount, asset, and payee—while AgentPay handles routing, signing, and settlement. Key capabilities include multi-asset path selection, nano-payment capability, zero gas fees, and global fiat on- and off-ramp access through partnerships with Banxa.

Market Context and Strategy

Agent-to-agent (A2A) payment requests are growing rapidly, with McKinsey research projecting that global agentic commerce could reach US$3 trillion to US$5 trillion by 2030. While open payment protocols like x402 and AP2 have standardized how agents negotiate terms and carry payment authorization, they do not determine settlement mechanisms. OSL AgentPay is designed to fill this gap by handling currency conversion and value delivery to agent endpoints.

Kevin Cui, Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer of OSL Group, stated that agentic commerce is rapidly emerging and that OSL is proactively embracing Agentic AI to empower the massive wave of economic activity ahead. He emphasized that the core of this economic activity relies on distribution, liquidity, and infrastructure, areas where OSL has focused its strengths.

Technical Capabilities

AgentPay delivers eight core capabilities aimed at simplifying complex payment flows for AI agents. The platform abstracts away technical complexities, allowing agents to focus on transaction intent rather than execution mechanics.

William Yuan, Head of OSL AI Labs and Vice President of Engineering at OSL Group, noted that stablecoins will become the optimal base-layer asset for agentic economic activity. He highlighted the scale of the ecosystem, with hundreds of thousands of paying agents transacting across thousands of endpoints. OSL plans to first partner with developers across Asia to explore payment scenarios before serving global enterprise opportunities.

What the Numbers Show

The strategic focus on agentic commerce aligns with significant market projections. With McKinsey estimating the agentic commerce market could reach up to US$5 trillion by 2030, OSL’s early infrastructure play positions it to capture value from the foundational layer of this economy. By offering zero gas fees and supporting multiple stablecoins, OSL aims to reduce friction in micro-transactions, which are critical for high-frequency AI agent interactions. The integration of Banxa’s fiat on- and off-ramp infrastructure further bridges the gap between traditional finance and digital asset settlements, essential for broader enterprise adoption.

OSL Group has been named to the "World’s Top Fintech Companies 2026" list, jointly presented by financial media outlet CNBC and global research firm Statista. This recognition marks the second consecutive year the company has received this accolade, following its inclusion in the 2025 edition. The distinction underscores OSL’s sustained leadership in fintech innovation and positions it as the only stablecoin payment and trading platform headquartered in Hong Kong to make the list.

The ranking highlights market confidence in OSL’s core value proposition and business model. Over the past year, the company has anchored its growth in empowering clients with financial technology. Key milestones include the acquisition of Web3 payment infrastructure provider Banxa, the launch of OSL B2B businesses for cross-border payments, and the introduction of the US dollar-backed enterprise stablecoin USDGO.

Strategic Expansion

OSL is actively exploring frontier agentic payments and collaborating with traditional financial firms to pioneer major initiatives. The company aims to bridge traditional financial standards with digital asset innovation to drive the next generation of financial infrastructure.

Ivan Wong, Chief Financial Officer of OSL Group, said: "Being recognized by CNBC as one of the world’s top fintech companies for two years in a row is a powerful testament to our team’s dedication to innovation and regulatory excellence. Looking ahead, OSL will continue to expand its global footprint and invest in next-generation financial technology. Our focus remains on providing the institutional-grade gateway that connects traditional capital with digital asset infrastructure, unlocking new efficiencies and driving the next phase of regulated financial evolution."
