Why It Matters
As payments become instant and autonomous (agentic commerce), the traditional buffers of time and reversibility disappear. GrailPay's risk decisioning infrastructure provides the trust layer that B2B payments need when settlement is instant and irreversible. The $80T B2B payments economy that GrailPay targets is an order of magnitude larger than consumer payments, and the shift to agentic and stablecoin-based B2B settlement creates a new infrastructure need that didn't exist before.
