AI agents are starting to pay, mostly small machine payments for now. <br/>5. Fees are drifting toward 0.5% to 1.5%, against a ~2.9% card baseline. <br/>6. Compliance is moving into the product. <br/> <br/>And the hype to ignore: &#34;500 coins supported&#34;, meme-coin checkout and &#34;agents replace checkout next quarter&#34;. <br/> <br/>Full breakdown (FaradPay is a gateway, so we say where we fit): <br/><a href="https://faradpay.com/blog/crypto-payment-gateways-trends">https://faradpay.com/blog/crypto-payment-gateways-trends</a> <br/> <br/>#CryptoPayments #Stablecoins #Fintech #PaymentGateway #FaradPay 2026-10-08T11:47:46Z
