AI Agents to Influence Over $500 Billion in Global GMV by 2028, Morph Report Predicts

Morph has released a report titled 'The Agentic Economy,' projecting that by 2028, the global gross merchandise volume (GMV) influenced by AI agents will exceed $500 billion. According to Foresight News, the report suggests that AI is evolving from content generation and recommendation tools into economic participants capable of discovering goods, initiating payments, and completing transactions. The report highlights that the infrastructure for Agentic Commerce is developing around identity, authorization, checkout, and settlement. Standards such as MCP, AP2, ACP, UCP, Visa Trusted Agent Protocol, ERC-8004, and x402 are forming the technical stack for autonomous commercial interactions. Morph forecasts that by 2028, AI agent-initiated stablecoin payments will surpass human-operated transactions in terms of volume. Additionally, one-tenth of American households are expected to regularly authorize AI agents to complete purchases on their behalf.
