Digital finance corporations GalaxiaMoneytree said on the 1st that it joined the Agentic AI Foundation (AAIF) and the x402 Foundation at the same time.
GalaxiaMoneytree is the first Korea corporations to join the two bodies simultaneously, and the second to join the x402 Foundation after Kakao Pay.
Both bodies are operated under the Linux Foundation, which leads the global open-source ecosystem. AAIF is a global coalition that discusses standards for AI agent interoperability, and the x402 Foundation discusses standards for AI agent payment protocols.
AAIF aims to build open interoperability standards so AI agents can operate reliably across diverse platforms and service environments.
The x402 Foundation discusses standardizing AI agent payment protocols based on the concept of "402 Payment Required" in Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). The key is to create a structure in which AI agents can automatically execute payments when accessing content, APIs, data, and digital services.
With this membership, GalaxiaMoneytree plans to strengthen capabilities needed for AI agent payment environments—including user authentication, limit management, settlement, and abnormal transaction detection—based on its existing electronic payment infrastructure and the Moneytree platform.
GalaxiaMoneytree is also moving to enter the foreigner prepaid card market, seek approval for a securities-type token offering (STO) business, and prepare a proof of concept (PoC) for stablecoin-based payments. In Apr., it said it would jointly promote a stablecoin payment business with the domestic virtual asset exchange Korbit, based on linking the Moneytree card top-up function.
