Crystal Intelligence, a blockchain analytics and compliance company, announced a partnership with Kite, a developer of payment infrastructure for AI agents. As part of the integration, Kite has added Crystal Expert to its platform to strengthen compliance and risk monitoring for autonomous AI transactions.
The new integration brings transaction monitoring, sanctions screening, and risk intelligence to Kite’s payment network. The system is designed for AI agents that can send payments, coordinate tasks, and manage funds without direct human involvement.
Kite operates its Agentic Payments Layer, a payment infrastructure built specifically for the growing agent economy. The company says its network supports large-scale agent-to-agent payments with stablecoin settlement and near-instant transaction finality. By adding Crystal Expert, enterprises and developers gain access to real-time risk monitoring, detailed audit records, and compliance tools for every transaction.
Kite is backed by PayPal Ventures, a venture capital arm of PayPal, General Catalyst, an investment firm focused on technology companies, Coinbase Ventures, the investment division of Coinbase, Samsung Next, Samsung’s innovation and investment group, and 8VC, a venture capital firm investing in emerging technologies. The company’s infrastructure also includes Agent Passport, a system that manages identity, permissions, spending limits, and audit trails for autonomous agents.
