a16z's Noah Levine says AI agents processed $1.6M in payments as x402 adoption expands

Andreessen Horowitz partner Noah Levine reported that AI agents processed about $1.6 million in payments over the past month, far below earlier estimates of $24 million from other data sources. He attributed the lower figure to adjusted data from Allium Labs and highlighted that, while volumes are still small, major firms including Coinbase, Stripe, Cloudflare, Vercel and Google are building payment infrastructure such as the x402 standard and its new Polygon support.
