Coinbase’s AI Payment Protocol x402 Gets Major Push from BNB Chain and MVB Grad AEON

AEON launched its x402 Facilitator on BNB Chain BNB $1 088 24h volatility: 2.0% Market cap: $149.51 B Vol. 24h: $3.07 B on Oct. 30, bringing the Coinbase-developed payment protocol to the blockchain ecosystem. The move follows growing attention around Coinbase new listings in 2025.

According to a company announcement, the crypto payment framework was developed by the facilitator in collaboration with the BNB Chain team.

The x402 protocol uses the HTTP 402 “Payment Required” status code to enable AI agents to execute transactions without human intervention.

AEON’s facilitator validates payment payloads for authenticity and mandate compliance before confirming transactions on BNB Chain.

The implementation addresses a technical challenge where major stablecoins on the network lack EIP-3009 support required for gasless transactions.

AEON’s contract supports both EIP-3009-enabled tokens and standard ERC-20 tokens.

Each transaction generates an immutable receipt containing the agent’s unique identity according to ERC-8004, which assigns each AI agent a distinct identifier similar to an NFT.

x402 Protocol Development and Adoption

Coinbase published the x402 whitepaper on May 6, detailing the protocol as an open standard for internet-native payments.

According to ecosystem data, the protocol has gained adoption across multiple blockchain networks, with activity increasing from under 5,000 weekly agent-to-agent transactions to over 25,000 in the week beginning Oct. 19.

In September, Circle’s integration with x402 allowed AI agents to pay for API services using USDC through Developer-Controlled Wallets.

The market has generally responded positively to x402 adoption. Virtuals Protocol’s VIRTUAL $1.36 24h volatility: 7.2% Market cap: $891.24 M Vol. 24h: $434.83 M price rally saw the VIRTUAL token increase nearly 100% in four days following its x402 integration on Oct. 27.

BNB Chain’s official account promoted four x402-related projects on Oct. 28, including AEON, Unibase, pieverse, and TermiX AI.

AEON’s Role in BNB Chain Ecosystem

BNB Chain selected AEON for its Most Valuable Builder Season 10 program on July 25.

The accelerator chose 15 projects from over 500 applicants for the cohort, which includes teams working on AI, DeFi, payment infrastructure, and real-world assets. BNB Chain, YZi Labs, and CMC Labs jointly operate the program.

The x402 launch aligns with broader industry trends. A Wirex whitepaper released on Oct. 29 identified the emerging trend of agentic payments as a driver for the European stablecoin market, which the payment platform forecasts could reach €1 trillion by 2030.

AEON operates a Web3 Mobile Payment solution that claims to serve 20 million merchants across Southeast Asia, Africa, and Latin America.

During a July presentation for the MVB program, AEON’s co-founder stated the company processes over $30 million monthly and is raising $60 million to expand to 100 million merchants within 12 months.

Fed forecasts only one rate cut in 2026, a more conservative outlook than expected

The post Fed forecasts only one rate cut in 2026, a more conservative outlook than expected appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell talks to reporters following the regular Federal Open Market Committee meetings at the Fed on July 30, 2025 in Washington, DC. Chip Somodevilla | Getty Images The Federal Reserve is projecting only one rate cut in 2026, fewer than expected, according to its median projection. The central bank’s so-called dot plot, which shows 19 individual members’ expectations anonymously, indicated a median estimate of 3.4% for the federal funds rate at the end of 2026. That compares to a median estimate of 3.6% for the end of this year following two expected cuts on top of Wednesday’s reduction. A single quarter-point reduction next year is significantly more conservative than current market pricing. Traders are currently pricing in at two to three more rate cuts next year, according to the CME Group’s FedWatch tool, updated shortly after the decision. The gauge uses prices on 30-day fed funds futures contracts to determine market-implied odds for rate moves. Here are the Fed’s latest targets from 19 FOMC members, both voters and nonvoters: Zoom In IconArrows pointing outwards The forecasts, however, showed a large difference of opinion with two voting members seeing as many as four cuts. Three officials penciled in three rate reductions next year. “Next year’s dot plot is a mosaic of different perspectives and is an accurate reflection of a confusing economic outlook, muddied by labor supply shifts, data measurement concerns, and government policy upheaval and uncertainty,” said Seema Shah, chief global strategist at Principal Asset Management. The central bank has two policy meetings left for the year, one in October and one in December. Economic projections from the Fed saw slightly faster economic growth in 2026 than was projected in June, while the outlook for inflation was updated modestly higher for next year. There’s a lot of uncertainty…

Fed rate decision September 2025

Fed rate decision September 2025

The post Fed rate decision September 2025 appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. WASHINGTON – The Federal Reserve on Wednesday approved a widely anticipated rate cut and signaled that two more are on the way before the end of the year as concerns intensified over the U.S. labor market. In an 11-to-1 vote signaling less dissent than Wall Street had anticipated, the Federal Open Market Committee lowered its benchmark overnight lending rate by a quarter percentage point. The decision puts the overnight funds rate in a range between 4.00%-4.25%. Newly-installed Governor Stephen Miran was the only policymaker voting against the quarter-point move, instead advocating for a half-point cut. Governors Michelle Bowman and Christopher Waller, looked at for possible additional dissents, both voted for the 25-basis point reduction. All were appointed by President Donald Trump, who has badgered the Fed all summer to cut not merely in its traditional quarter-point moves but to lower the fed funds rate quickly and aggressively. In the post-meeting statement, the committee again characterized economic activity as having “moderated” but added language saying that “job gains have slowed” and noted that inflation “has moved up and remains somewhat elevated.” Lower job growth and higher inflation are in conflict with the Fed’s twin goals of stable prices and full employment.  “Uncertainty about the economic outlook remains elevated” the Fed statement said. “The Committee is attentive to the risks to both sides of its dual mandate and judges that downside risks to employment have risen.” Markets showed mixed reaction to the developments, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average up more than 300 points but the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite posting losses. Treasury yields were modestly lower. At his post-meeting news conference, Fed Chair Jerome Powell echoed the concerns about the labor market. “The marked slowing in both the supply of and demand for workers is unusual in this less dynamic…
