Cobo becomes a global partner of Google Agent Payment Protocol AP2, planning to launch the actual application in Q1 2026

ChainCatcher news, digital asset custody and wallet infrastructure provider Cobo announced that it has become a global partner of 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 AP2-based practical applications in the first quarter of 2026. AP2 (Agent Payments Protocol) is an open payment standard launched by Google for the "Agent Economy," expanded from the A2A communication protocol. It standardizes AI agent payment behavior through cryptographically signed authorization mandates, supporting multiple 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, and generate an auditable evidence chain.
