RippleX has processed more than 13 million agent payments through the x402 standard, according to RippleX Head of Engineering J. Ayo Akinyele [^1]. This development is noted in reports from both 99Bitcoins and CoinDesk, which corroborate the payment volume [^1][^2]. The payments themselves appear to be predominantly microtransactions, with a 35-day study tracking 6.4 million transactions revealing that 90.8% of all recorded AI agent payments are worth less than a single penny [^3]. As of 2026-10-14, Hypercall, an options exchange built on Hyperliquid, recorded $640 million in total notional trading volume [^4]. The x402 standard's payment volume is reported by J. Ayo Akinyele on X, further confirming the high volume of agent payments [^2].
