## Source summary

CoinDesk reports that version 1.1 of RippleX's beta XRPL AI Starter Kit now supports the Stripe- and Tempo-backed Machine Payments Protocol and the Open Wallet Standard. It lets agents make one-time payments in XRP or XRPL-issued tokens such as RLUSD, maintain ongoing XRP payment sessions, and request wallet transactions without accessing private keys while enforcing spending limits and approved destinations. Stablecoin payment sessions still depend on a proposed ledger upgrade.

## Why it matters

The release adds concrete authorization and wallet controls for machine-to-machine payments across two emerging standards. It remains beta software, stablecoin sessions are not yet available, and CoinDesk reports no commercial customers, payment volume, fees, reliability data, fraud outcomes or evidence that Stripe's merchant rails are processing these payments.
