Anchorage built a banking product where the customer is not a human. It is an AI agent.

KYA replaces KYC. Know Your Agent. Real spending policies, real settlement, real stablecoins, executed by software acting on behalf of a company. Solana and Google Cloud went further with pay.sh, where agents pay per API call in stablecoins, no account required.
