Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.

Visa reported that AI shopping agents complete purchases successfully only about 57% of the time, underscoring reliability gaps in agent-driven commerce. The study points to trust and security shortfalls as core obstacles, since failed transactions erode confidence in letting autonomous agents shop and pay on users' behalf. The finding matters as crypto and payments firms increasingly position stablecoins and on-chain checkout rails as the settlement layer for AI agents. Watch for protocol-level fixes such as spending limits, verifiable credentials and escrow mechanisms aimed at raising success rates.
