    Question

    X Pay Launches HTTP Micropayment Settlement Gateway in USDC on Base Mainnet

    Direct answer

    X Pay has deployed a payment gateway directly on the Base mainnet, introducing a protocol for machine-to-machine micropayments. The system allows any web application or API endpoint to bill individual HTTP calls natively. Settlements are executed entirely in USDC stablecoins, bypassing traditional credit card processing, merchant accounts, and monthly subscription tiers through the use of the x402 standard. — bullish pressure on COIN.
