Ant Group has introduced a platform designed to let artificial intelligence agents serve as the main players in cryptocurrency transactions. Unveiled at the Chinese conglomerate's Real Up summit in Cannes, Anvita represents its investment in an "agent-to-agent" economy, letting bots hold assets and make payments with little to no human input. Anvita is launching with two main products: Anvita TaaS (tokenization-as-a-service), which focuses on the tokenization of real-world assets (RWAs) for institutions, such as custody and treasury tools. The other, Anvita Flow, is a platform where AI agents can connect, coordinate tasks and settle payments in real time. "Pure RWA is just the 'static infrastructure' of digital assets," said Zhuoqun Bian, president of blockchain business at Ant Digital Technologies. "The real transformation lies in moving toward an onchain agentic economy, where autonomous agents will not just analyze data — they will hold assets, execute trades, and optimize portfolios." This development comes as traditional payment networks also prepare for blockchain settlement with Google's Agent Payments Protocol and Mastercard's $1.8 billion acquisition of stablecoin firm BVNK.
