GCash to Enable Cashless Payments for EDSA Busway Trips

Passengers on the EDSA Busway can now pay their fares via QR codes following the official launch of the cashless transaction system by the Department of Transportation (DOTr) and GCash today.

DOTr Acting Secretary Giovanni Lopez, who attended the event, emphasised that the initiative aims to enable faster and more seamless payment of fares.

Under the new system, commuters simply need to open their GCash app and scan the QR codes displayed on the buses. The DOTr and GCash have posted instructional tarpaulins at various busway stations to assist first-time users.

He noted that the project is part of a broader effort to improve the overall passenger experience, rather than just modernising physical infrastructure.

This development follows the DOTr’s earlier move this year to launch cashless payments for the MRT-3, expanding the digital payment ecosystem across Metro Manila’s public transport network.

It also follows the successful rollout of GCash’s automated fare collection system for the MRT-3 railway line earlier in July.

That initiative introduced three new payment methods designed to streamline the commuting experience and reduce queues at stations.

GCash for Business General Manager Jong Layug assured users that security protocols are “top of the line” to protect accounts from hacking.

Headwind Helps Best Wallet Token

The post Headwind Helps Best Wallet Token appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Google has announced the launch of a new open-source protocol called Agent Payments Protocol (AP2) in partnership with Coinbase, the Ethereum Foundation, and 60 other organizations. This allows AI agents to make payments on behalf of users using various methods such as real-time bank transfers, credit and debit cards, and, most importantly, stablecoins. Let’s explore in detail what this could mean for the broader cryptocurrency markets, and also highlight a presale crypto (Best Wallet Token) that could explode as a result of this development. Google’s Push for Stablecoins Agent Payments Protocol (AP2) uses digital contracts known as ‘Intent Mandates’ and ‘Verifiable Credentials’ to ensure that AI agents undertake only those payments authorized by the user. Mandates, by the way, are cryptographically signed, tamper-proof digital contracts that act as verifiable proof of a user’s instruction. For example, let’s say you instruct an AI agent to never spend more than $200 in a single transaction. This instruction is written into an Intent Mandate, which serves as a digital contract. Now, whenever the AI agent tries to make a payment, it must present this mandate as proof of authorization, which will then be verified via the AP2 protocol. Alongside this, Google has also launched the A2A x402 extension to accelerate support for the Web3 ecosystem. This production-ready solution enables agent-based crypto payments and will help reshape the growth of cryptocurrency integration within the AP2 protocol. Google’s inclusion of stablecoins in AP2 is a massive vote of confidence in dollar-pegged cryptocurrencies and a huge step toward making them a mainstream payment option. This widens stablecoin usage beyond trading and speculation, positioning them at the center of the consumption economy. The recent enactment of the GENIUS Act in the U.S. gives stablecoins more structure and legal support. Imagine paying for things like data crawls, per-task…
