AEON Releases 2025 Payment Data, Highlighting Growth of AI-Native Payments

HONG KONG, Feb. 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- AEON, the foundational payment and settlement layer for the new AI economy, today released its 2025 payment performance data, highlighting the accelerating demand for AI-native and crypto-based payment infrastructure.

By the end of 2025, AEON's AI Payment and Web3 Mobile Payment solution, AEON Pay, had processed 5.7 million transactions totaling over $263 million in volume, serving 1.81 million users worldwide, with an average of 80,000+ new users added per month.

In 2025, AEON also confirmed that x402 data integration has gone live on BNB Chain, with 304.89k transactions and $3.8M in volume already verifiable directly on-chain via BNB x402scan. The integration provides on-chain receipts for x402 activity and establishes the foundation for an open, transparent and trackable standard for AI payment transaction flows across BNB Chain, reinforcing AEON's commitment to verifiable AI-native financial infrastructure.

These results reflect the early formation of an AI-driven economy, where value creation is increasingly driven by autonomous systems, AI agent execution, and continuous AI payment on-chain activity. As AI transitions from generating content to performing tasks and making decisions, financial infrastructure must evolve to support large-scale transactions for AI, automated settlement, and non-human economic participants.

AEON is building this infrastructure by positioning itself as the payment and settlement layer designed specifically for the AI economy, enabling AI-native payments, high-frequency microtransactions, on-chain agent identity, and global fiat settlement that connects AI systems directly to real-world commerce.

As AI continues to reshape production relations and economic models, AEON is building the foundational payment and settlement infrastructure required to support this transformation at scale.
