[HSBC and Ant Group Complete AI Agent Tokenized Deposit Micro-Payment Test] According to a press release from PR Newswire, Ant Group and HSBC announced the completion of a technical validation test for AI agent micro-payments. The AI agent can act on behalf of users to discover and access digital services, completing payments in one step, typically under $2 per transaction, with real-time settlement. During the test, HSBC's Tokenized Deposit Service (TDS) provided settlement and real-time risk control via the MCP interface, while Ant Group's Anvita Flow handled service invocation and micro-payment settlement. On-chain transactions were conducted on the Layer 2 blockchain Jovay testnet. Both parties stated that this test was exploratory in nature and not intended for commercial deployment.
