The payment protocol suddenly gains popularity, expected to generate breakout applications
October 25, 2025
In recent days, a new concept has emerged in the cryptocurrency world called the x402 payment protocol. This protocol focuses on a payment system, somewhat similar to the payment interfaces of WeChat and Alipay for cryptocurrencies. I haven't delved deeply into the technical aspects yet, but I can sense that projects in the cryptocurrency space are gradually trying to break out of existing business models, which is a good thing. Additionally, this payment concept will have some related projects. I searched using ChatGPT and found a few relevant ones, with Virtual having a relatively high market cap, currently priced at 1U. The others are low market cap memes, and some haven't even been listed yet, so I won't recommend those.
