According to CoinDesk, Meta Chief Data Officer Alex Schultz stated in an interview that Agentic Commerce will be the company's "next level of business." Meta currently has over a million weekly active businesses using its commercial agents.
Schultz used organizing a child's birthday party as an example to explain that agents can handle tasks such as schedule coordination and venue searching, and believes this model can be extended to supply chains and cross-border commerce, with stablecoins being a key payment layer.Schultz pointed out that the US's reliance on iMessage is "very backward," while in Brazil and India, millions of small businesses are already conducting commercial conversations through WhatsApp. He predicted that physical wallets will be phased out, and stablecoins are "an important part of the solution."[PANews]
