Cobo becomes a global partner of Google Agent Payment Protocol AP2

On October 21, digital asset custody and wallet infrastructure provider Cobo announced that it has become a global partner of the Google AI Agent payment protocol AP2 (Agent Payments Protocol), and will work with global payment and technology partners to promote the application of A2A (Agent-to-Agent) in AI Agent payments. Cobo plans to launch a series of practical applications based on AP2 in the first quarter of 2026. AP2 (Agent Payments Protocol) is an open payment standard launched by Google for the "Agent Economy", and is an extension of the A2A communication protocol. It standardizes AI agent payment behavior through cryptographically signed authorization mandates, and supports multi-rail channels such as credit cards, bank transfers, and x402 stablecoins, enabling AI agents to securely and accountably complete transactions across merchants, applications, and payment networks within the scope of user authorization, while generating an auditable evidence chain.
