INTRODUCING | AliPay Parent Company Introduces Agentic Commerce Platform to Hold, Trade, and Pay in Crypto

Ant Group’s blockchain unit has introduced a new platform designed to enable AI agents to operate and transact directly on crypto infrastructure signaling a deeper convergence between artificial intelligence and blockchain-based finance.

The platform, called Anvita, allows AI agents to hold digital assets, execute trades, and make payments with minimal human involvement. It also integrates tokenization tools and coordination systems that let these agents interact and settle transactions in real time using stablecoins.

Anvita is launching with 2 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.
• Anvita Flow, a platform where AI agents can connect, coordinate tasks and settle payments in real time.

Developed by the digital technology arm of Ant Group, the system is built around the idea of ‘agentic commerce’ where autonomous software can independently perform economic activities ranging from micropayments to complex financial operations.

The move reflects a broader industry push to combine crypto rails with AI-driven automation. Proponents argue that blockchain infrastructure offers a natural settlement layer for machine-to-machine transactions, particularly for high-frequency, low-value payments that traditional systems struggle to handle efficiently.

While still early, platforms like Anvita point toward a future where AI agents are not just tools, but active economic participants capable of transacting, coordinating, and managing resources on-chain without constant human oversight.

According to Zhuoqun Bian, President of Blockchain Business at Ant Digital Technologies:

“Pure RWA is just the ‘static infrastructure’ of digital assets.

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.”
