The stablecoin issuer backs a company building payment infrastructure for autonomous AI agents. Tether has led a $15 million funding round for Mural, a startup building payment infrastructure for artificial intelligence agents. CoinDesk and crypto.news both reported the investment on October 21, 2026, describing Mural as an AI-focused payment company. Mural's technology is designed to let AI agents transact autonomously. That means software systems could send and receive payments without direct human approval for each transaction. This is a growing area of interest as AI tools take on more complex, multi-step tasks that involve commerce.
