AIsa Raises $6.5M as Alibaba and Tribe Capital Back AI Agent Payment Network

AIsa has raised $6.5 million in total funding to build transaction infrastructure for AI agents, with Alibaba (NYSE: $BABA) and Tribe Capital co-leading its latest seed round.

Draper Associates, Sumitomo Corporation and Saison Capital also joined the financing. The company said the capital will be used to expand its engineering team, scale payment infrastructure, add more models, data and API providers, and accelerate stablecoin settlement for agents and businesses.

AIsa is building a transaction layer for software that increasingly needs to buy digital resources without relying on accounts, subscriptions or checkout flows designed for people. Its platform lets AI agents and developers discover, access and pay for models, APIs, real-time data, SaaS tools and compute through a single programmable interface.

Usage is billed based on consumption and can be settled in fiat or stablecoins. Businesses can also place spending controls around agent activity, giving the network a mix of resource access and programmable payment infrastructure.

Founder and CEO Jordan Liu said AI agents are becoming "economic actors" that research, call tools, consume data and make payments on behalf of users and companies. AIsa, he added, is building both the marketplace where agents access resources and the transaction rail used to pay for them.

The company said registered agent users grew 150 times between February and June, while API calls and transactions processed through the network increased 200 times. More than 50,000 agents have registered without paid marketing.

AIsa has also gained traction across AI-native developer ecosystems including OpenClaw and Hermes. The company said it ranks as the top seller and server on x402's public leaderboard and integrates with agent-payment initiatives from Circle (NYSE: $CRCL), Visa (NYSE: $V) and Stripe.

The funding lands as payment networks and crypto firms race to build infrastructure for software that can transact on its own. AIsa is betting agents will need more than wallets and spending controls: they will need a network for buying the digital resources they use every day.
