Today's crypto news to know

Tokenized SpaceX shares roll out

Several crypto exchanges rolled out tokenized SpaceX (NASDAQ:SPXC) shares in parallel with the Elon Musk-led company’s initial public offering (IPO) on Friday.

Four crypto venues had live SpaceX products: Ondo's SPCXon, Kraken's xStocks SPCXx and a Backpack-issued SPCX on Solana, all of which offer 1:1 tokenized equity backed by actual shares.

Hyperliquid launched a pre-IPO perpetual contract providing synthetic exposure only, meaning users gain price exposure but cannot redeem for underlying shares.

Mastercard introduces Agent Pay

Mastercard (NYSE:MA) has introduced Agent Pay for Machines (AP4M), a payments infrastructure aimed at letting artificial intelligence (AI) agents and machines conduct transactions.

AP4M lets AI agents and machines send, receive and pay for services autonomously, supporting payments via cards, bank accounts and stablecoins. It also enables businesses to create services that AI agents can buy and use directly

Mastercard says the future of commerce will include AI agents making purchasing decisions on behalf of users or systems, and AP4M is built to handle the unique demands of this model.

Mastercard says more than 30 industry participants are backing the initiative, including fintech, legacy finance and crypto firms such as Coinbase Global (NASDAQ:COIN).

Initial agent permissions and identities will be recorded on Polygon.
