On April 9, Tom Lee shared insights during an interview with CNBC regarding recent geopolitical tensions and their impact on the stock market. According to BlockBeats, Lee noted that despite the escalation of conflict between the U.S. and Iran and rising oil prices last week, the stock market did not experience a downturn. He described this as a positive 'decoupling' sign, indicating that negative risks have been priced in advance, showcasing the market's resilience. Historically, stock markets tend to bottom out early in wartime rather than waiting for conflicts to end. Lee also mentioned that 70% of the S&P 500 components have undergone a 'rolling bear market,' with most stocks or sectors experiencing significant adjustments. He believes that selling pressure has largely dissipated, and positions have been reset, suggesting that the worst may be over for the overall market, leaving more room for upward movement. Furthermore, Lee reiterated his optimism for cryptocurrencies like Ethereum, as well as the Mag 7, technology, industrial, and small-cap stocks.

Visa has announced the launch of a new platform aimed at advancing AI-driven commerce, marking a significant step in the agentic AI payments landscape. According to Cointelegraph, the platform, named Intelligent Commerce Connect, was unveiled on Wednesday and is designed to facilitate businesses' participation in AI-driven transactions. The platform is described as a network, protocol, and 'token vault-agnostic on-ramp' for AI agent builders and merchants, enabling AI agents to browse, select, and pay for goods on behalf of consumers. The system offers a universal platform for agentic AI payments, allowing secure payment initiation, tokenization, spend controls, and authentication through a single integration via the Visa Acceptance Platform. This development positions Visa alongside crypto networks like Ethereum, Tron, and Solana, as well as fintech firms, which are also exploring ways for AI agents to conduct online payments for consumers. Intelligent Commerce Connect supports both Visa and non-Visa card payments and is compatible with major AI agent protocols. It also facilitates the discovery of merchant catalogs within AI platforms, ensuring tokenization, spend controls, authentication, and PCI compliance through one integration on the Visa Acceptance Platform. Currently, the system is in its pilot phase with select partners, with a broader rollout anticipated in 2026. This initiative is not Visa's first venture into agentic AI payments. In March, the company introduced an experimental product called 'Visa CLI,' which allowed AI agents to make same-day payments. In a related development, AI fintech firm Nevermined has integrated with Visa’s Intelligent Commerce using Coinbase’s x402 protocol. This integration enables AI agents to autonomously purchase digital goods and services. Users can enroll their Visa card and set spending rules, allowing AI agents to transact independently within those parameters, while merchants receive payments through their existing processors. Erik Reppel, the creator of the x402 protocol, highlighted that it provides an open standard for agents to request payments programmatically, demonstrating how secure card infrastructure can facilitate real commercial transactions between AI agents and merchants. The x402 protocol has processed $24 million in transactional volume over the past 30 days, showcasing its growing adoption and potential in the AI payments sector.
