What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Ant Digital Technologies conducted a verification test with HSBC on October 9, 2026, exploring the use of tokenized deposits for micropayments. The test utilized HSBC's Tokenised Deposit Service (TDS) and Ant Digital Technologies' Anvita Flow network and Jovay Testnet blockchain environment. The technology demonstrated a potential end-to-end process where an AI agent could discover a digital service, make a micropayment (less than $2.00), and complete the transaction with real-time settlement. The verification test was exploratory and did not represent a commercial launch.
