Cloudflare announced the launch of the NET Dollar stablecoin, backed by the U.S. dollar, designed for instant and secure transactions in the era of an AI-powered internet.
Cloudflare, one of the world’s leaders in cloud solutions for network security and internet service acceleration, introduced the U.S. dollar-pegged stablecoin NET Dollar. The asset is intended to become the foundation of a future business ecosystem where micropayments, automated transactions, and rewards for original content play a key role.
The press release notes that the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) is changing how users interact with the web — autonomous AI agents can already book tickets, order groceries, or manage schedules. To support this, a financial system that works instantly and globally is needed. According to Cloudflare, NET Dollar will enable such agents and developers to conduct secure and automatic payments without delays.
Key advantages of NET Dollar:
- Global reach. The stablecoin will be available worldwide, across all time zones, ensuring transparency and trust in payments.
- Automation. AI agents will be able to instantly pay for services and goods; for example, purchasing airline tickets or settling supply orders at the moment of confirmation.
- New monetization model. Content creators will be rewarded for unique materials, while developers will earn from API and app usage.
Cloudflare Co-Founder and CEO Matthew Prince emphasized that the internet has long relied on advertising platforms and bank transfers. In his view, the future of the web will be built on micropayments and Pay-Per-Use (PPU) models, which will help sustain original and valuable content.
Cloudflare stresses that NET Dollar won’t replace traditional financial tools but will complement them, fostering a resilient and open internet economy where value is created and distributed as transparently as possible. Alongside NET Dollar, the company is also contributing to the development of open standards, including the Agent Payments Protocol and x402, which aim to simplify the process of sending and receiving digital payments.
