Monetizing AI - Coinbase x402 Intro

How do you monetize the massive flows and interactions at the speed of AI? The x402 protocol from Coinbase is an interesting take on what I would call "early steps" to make sure monetization - and to some extent "management" - is considered. I believe this will be as important as authorization/security...especially in a networked AI Agentic world.

Certainly worth a read of the whitepaper....https://www.coinbase.com/developer-platform/discover/launches/x402

How have others looked to monetize their AI offerings? Are you considering x402?

Management of funds/budgets will be interesting to consider for CFO/CIO/Controller roles in an organization. Remember forgetting to turn off an instance in the cloud.....what if the AI Agentic Agent doesn't have a cap on its budget, and the testing engine or production runs without control. USDC for instance may be a required "Transaction currency" for all IT departments going forward.
