U.S.-Listed Internet Infrastructure Firm Cloudflare Launches Payments Stablecoin

Cloudflare, a U.S.-listed cloud connectivity company, launched a U.S. dollar-backed stablecoin to support transactions on the AI-driven Internet. The token is reportedly intended for autonomous software agents, developers, and online creators, enabling automated payments for services and content across borders.

“The Internet’s next business model will be powered by pay-per-use, fractional payments, and microtransactions, tools that shift incentives toward original, creative content that actually adds value,” commented Matthew Prince, co-founder and CEO of Cloudflare.

“By using our global network, we are going to help modernize the financial rails needed to move money at the speed of the Internet, helping to create a more open and valuable Internet for everyone,” he explained.

A Stablecoin Built for the Agentic Web

The new offering is reportedly created for what the company described as the “agentic web,” where AI agents perform tasks such as booking travel, ordering goods, or managing schedules. The stablecoin enables instant and reliable payments across currencies and geographies, allowing both personal and business agents to execute transactions automatically.

The token can help personal agents pay for items immediately when they become available, while business agents could settle supplier payments as soon as deliveries are confirmed.

Commenting about the move, Simon Taylor, Founder of Fintech Brainfood, said: “Cloudflare helps host websites, prevent bot attacks, and now they're launching NET Dollar, a USD-backed stablecoin built for autonomous commerce.”

By issuing their own stablecoin, they get to collect the yield on the float. I was dubious of agent-to-agent payments + AI, but I'm now convinced it's inevitable.

Cloudflare said NET Dollar is designed to compensate creators for original content and developers for monetizing APIs and applications. The stablecoin is intended to integrate with existing financial systems, providing speed, transparency, and global accessibility.

Contributing to Open Standards

Cloudflare is also developing open standards, including the Agent Payments Protocol and x402, to simplify sending and receiving online payments. The company emphasized that NET Dollar is designed to be interoperable with other payment systems.

The move puts Cloudflare in line with other fintech companies exploring stablecoins. Driven by institutional adoption and cross-border flows, stablecoins are projected to reach $1 trillion in transaction volumes by 2030.

In Singapore, Coinbase teamed up with StraitsX to launch XSGD, the first Singapore dollar-backed stablecoin reportedly recognized by the Monetary Authority of Singapore. The move expanded Coinbase’s stablecoin lineup and provides new cross-border payment options, with XSGD expected to be listed on Coinbase and trading early next week.

Hackers Exploit JavaScript Accounts in Massive Crypto Attack Reportedly Affecting 1B+ Downloads

A major supply-chain attack has infiltrated widely used JavaScript packages, potentially putting billions of dollars in crypto at risk. Charles Guillemet, chief technology officer at hardware wallet maker Ledger, warned that hackers have compromised a reputable developer’s Node Package Manager (NPM) account to push malicious code into packages downloaded more than a billion times.

The injected malware is designed to quietly swap cryptocurrency wallet addresses in transactions, meaning users could unknowingly send funds directly to attackers.

"There’s a large-scale supply chain attack in progress: the NPM account of a reputable developer has been compromised," Guillemet explained. "The affected packages have already been downloaded over 1 billion times, meaning the entire JavaScript ecosystem may be at risk."

Supply Chain Attack Hits Deep Into Developer Ecosystem

NPM is a core tool in JavaScript development, widely used to integrate external packages into applications. When a developer’s account is compromised, attackers can slip malware into packages that developers then unknowingly deploy in decentralized applications or software wallets.

Security researchers have warned that software wallet users are particularly vulnerable, while hardware wallets remain largely protected. According to Oxngmi, founder of DefiLlama, the code does not automatically drain wallets.

Developers who pin dependencies to older, safe versions may avoid exposure, but users cannot easily verify which sites are safe. Experts recommend avoiding crypto transactions until affected packages are cleaned up.

Phishing Emails and Account Takeover

The breach reportedly began with phishing emails sent to NPM maintainers, claiming their accounts would be locked unless they “updated” two-factor authentication by Sept. 10.

The fake site captured credentials, giving attackers control of developer accounts. From there, malicious updates were pushed to packages downloaded billions of times.

Charlie Eriksen of Aikido Security said the attack operates “at multiple layers: altering content shown on websites, tampering with API calls, and manipulating what users’ apps believe they are signing.”

Developers and users have been urged to review dependencies and delay crypto transactions until the packages are verified as safe. The incident highlighted the risks inherent in widely used open-source software and the potential for supply-chain attacks to affect billions of users.

GFO-X Expands Beyond UK With Abu Dhabi Regulatory Nod

Abu Dhabi Global Market has granted GFO-X Group in-principle approval to set up a digital asset exchange and clearing house, strengthening the emirate’s position as a center for regulated crypto markets.

Abu Dhabi Opens Door for GFO-X

Global Futures and Options Abu Dhabi Exchange Limited and GFO-X Abu Dhabi CCP Limited received approval from the Financial Services Regulatory Authority of ADGM to operate as a Recognized Investment Exchange and a Recognized Clearing House. The companies are targeting a 2026 launch.

Arnab Sen, the CEO of GFO-X, said, “This approval is a pivotal step in our journey to build a globally interconnected, regulated marketplace for digital asset derivatives and complementary products.”

“ADGM’s regulatory sophistication and institutional-grade infrastructure make it an ideal jurisdiction for our next phase of growth to support digital assets and the benefits of collateral mobility,” he explained.

The approval extends GFO-X’s operations beyond the UK, where it runs the first FCA-authorized, centrally cleared digital asset derivatives Multilateral Trading Facility, and its technology base in Hong Kong.

According to the company, the Abu Dhabi venue operates around the clock and allows digital assets to be used as margin within a centrally cleared framework. The model addresses counterparty risk and collateral inefficiencies that have limited institutional participation in digital asset derivatives.

The exchange will support both cash-settled and physically delivered derivatives, alongside other listed products, for traditional institutions and crypto-native investors.

Abu Dhabi’s Regulatory Edge

ADGM has established itself as a center for digital asset regulation, attracting firms seeking institutional-grade oversight. Arvind Ramamurthy, Chief Market Development Officer at ADGM, said the approval showed the free zone’s “forward-looking vision” and added that it created “an environment where innovation and trust go hand in hand.”

GFO-X is in advanced talks with institutional partners ahead of the planned 2026 rollout. With approvals in Abu Dhabi and the UK, and operations in Hong Kong, the group is building regulated infrastructure to support the integration of digital assets into global finance
