Visa's TAP integration with x402 feels like a smart move that positions them for where payments are heading. The ability for AI agents to autonomously handle payments through Visa's network without the friction of traditional checkout flows could unlock massive transaction volumes they're currently missing. It's interesting how they're essentially turning their network into native internet infrastrucure rather than just a payment rail. If they can scale this alongside Google's AP2 and get real adoption, it could be transformative for their business model.
