Ant Group's Alipay Reaches 300M AI-Powered Transactions, Launches World's First AI-Native Payment Infrastructure

Ant Group says Alipay has surpassed 300 million AI-powered transactions.

The company launched an AI-native payment infrastructure, including an AI wallet for users and Token Pay for token-economy use cases.

Ant says the system is the first large-scale commercially deployed AI-native payment stack and supports major AI agent frameworks and device ecosystems.

The move highlights a broader race in China and globally to define payment standards for AI agents and agentic commerce.
