Need to know what happened in crypto today? Here is the latest news on daily trends and events impacting Bitcoin price, blockchain, DeFi, NFTs, Web3 and crypto regulation.
Today in crypto, Forrester said that Stripe’s recently released Machine Payments Protocol could be a game changer for automated transactions, allowing AI agents to remove behavioral barriers that hindered micropayments.
