Crossmint

Last week in Madrid, we held our largest company offsite in Crossmint history. Between strategy sessions, paella dinners, racing at the Carlos Sainz track, and a flamenco night to close it out, it was a solid week to remember. The biggest takeaway: stablecoins & AI are reshaping how money moves and our team is obsessed with solving its hardest problems. We're still in the early innings of what stablecoin infrastructure can unlock, and after a week with everyone together, it's more apparent today than ever that we have the best team for going after this massive opportunity. Come join us! We're hiring across the board.

Financial inclusion in Africa is one of the clearest use cases for stablecoins, and one of the hardest to execute. Lipaworld is taking it on, and we're proud to power the infrastructure underneath. For diaspora workers, freelancers, and small businesses across Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa, and beyond, stablecoins aren't a speculative asset. They're a way to earn, spend, and send digital dollars without waiting on a bank, without losing value to FX markups, and without the fees that have priced remittances out of reach for decades. The consumer experience Lipaworld has built sits on top of the same infrastructure trusted by MoneyGram and Western Union. Congrats to the team on the launch. More to come.

Lobster.cash, the payment solution for AI agents built by Crossmint, has announced plans to integrate Mastercard Agent Pay and Verifiable Intent, enabling AI agents on open agent platforms to transact securely using consumers' existing Mastercard cards. The integration brings together network-backed payments infrastructure and standards-based proof of authorisation. Through this integration, Mastercard cardholders using OpenClaw will be able to authorise AI agents to make purchases on their behalf, with every transaction governed by issuer controls, authenticated through Mastercard's network, and cryptographically linked to the user's explicit intent. The solution also uses Basis Theory as the agentic credential layer. Mastercard Agent Pay will initially be available to OpenClaw agents through lobster.cash, with plans to expand to additional supported agentic platforms. Alfonso Gómez-Jordana Mañas, Co-Founder of Crossmint, said, "Mastercard Agent Pay is one of the most trusted payment infrastructures designed for agentic commerce in the world. Bringing it to lobster.cash means agent users don't need a new wallet or a new card. They can put the card they already have to work for their agent, with the security and control they expect from Mastercard. This is how agentic payments reach everyone." Pablo Fourez, Chief Digital Officer at Mastercard, said, "By integrating with lobster.cash, we're extending Mastercard's trusted payments network and infrastructure to open agent platforms, enabling developers to innovate while ensuring consumers and issuers retain the same security and control they expect from Mastercard." The aibl take: There is one problem that prevents most organisations from allowing agents to act autonomously: money. The moment an agent needs to spend something, the trust question becomes very real, very quickly. Who authorised it? Within what limits? Mastercard and Lobster.cash are building the answer into the transaction itself. Cryptographic proof of intent. Issuer controls. Full traceability. Your agent uses your existing card, but every purchase is governed, verified, and linked back to what you explicitly approved. For mid-market leaders building agentic workflows, this is the infrastructure piece that makes autonomous action commercially viable. Agents that can procure, pay, and transact, without someone manually approving every step, only work if the guardrails are trusted. That trust now has a payment rail behind it. Michael K.
