Ripple said it has expanded its XRP Ledger developer kit to support the machine payment protocol and open wallet standard jointly developed by Stripe and Tempo. According to ChainCatcher, the XRPL AI Starter Kit 1.1 update adds support for these standards, allowing AI agents to pay for online services such as data and computing using tokens including XRP and RLUSD. RippleX product lead Jazzi Cooper said Ripple aims to make XRP and RLUSD the preferred payment options for developers building applications. The machine payment protocol lets AI agents pay on demand, with service providers quoting a price, agents authorizing payment, and resources delivered afterward. Ripple has also supported the x402 network payment standard since June. The open wallet standard allows agents to initiate transactions without accessing private keys and includes safeguards such as spending limits and whitelisted destinations. Ripple said XRP payment channels are suited to small, high-frequency payments, allowing agents to deposit XRP once, run hundreds of paid queries, and authorize small payments one by one while service providers collect cumulative funds without putting each query on-chain. Single payments already support tokens including RLUSD, but continuous payment sessions are limited to XRP, and adding stablecoins to the channel depends on a proposed ledger upgrade. The payment software remains in testing.

According to Sina Finance, the UK Parliament's Energy Security and Net Zero Committee on Thursday recommended that the government remove "net zero" from the name of the Energy Security and Net Zero Department and reduce its use in routine communications and public statements. The department said it had no plans to change its name and called the discussion an unnecessary distraction from the reality of climate change and the urgent need to shift to clean power. The committee, chaired by Labour MP Bill Esterson, said the term had become a distraction and urged ministers to make climate messaging less technocratic and more focused on broader social benefits.

The U.K. National Institute for Health and Care Excellence has approved Enhertu for use in England's National Health Service, with about 1,000 women with advanced breast cancer expected to benefit each year.

Asian currencies weakened on Thursday after the U.S. Federal Reserve delivered its first rate hike in three years, putting more pressure on the Bank of Japan as markets awaited the size of its monetary tightening adjustment. According to Sina Finance, the Fed raised its benchmark rate by 25 basis points and signaled it would continue taking steps to curb inflation. The dollar broke above 156 yen in Thursday trading, while the yen fell more than 1.1% after the Fed decision. The dollar also rose 0.7% against a basket of major trading-partner currencies, and short-term U.S. Treasury yields moved higher. On Wednesday, the 2-year U.S. Treasury yield rose 0.07 percentage point to 4.74% before edging down to 4.71% on Thursday. The Korean won fell 0.3% on Thursday, with the dollar at 1,380 won, while the Indian rupee weakened to 96.07 per dollar, its lowest level since late July. The moves erased some of the gains Japan and the United States had made in recent weeks to support the yen, and markets are now focused on the Bank of Japan's rate decision on Friday. Market expectations are for the Bank of Japan to raise rates by 25 basis points to 1.25%, which would be the highest level in three decades. Mituul Kotecha, head of Asia foreign exchange and emerging markets macro strategy at Barclays, said current market conditions have left Asian currencies in a defensive position. He said the Fed's decision made a Bank of Japan rate hike "almost certain." Rising energy prices added further pressure on Asian currencies. Brent crude broke above $100 a barrel this month and was trading near $105.8. Abbas Keshwani, Asia macro strategist at RBC Capital Markets, said the region was facing a double hit because most Asian economies are energy importers and the Fed's tightening cycle is drawing in dollars.
