x402 is finally live on Injective. If you've never heard of it, that's fine because by the end of this you'll understand exactly what it does and why it matters for anyone building AI agents or paid APIs.
What Is x402?
x402 is an open payment standard that finally gives the long-unused HTTP status code "402 Payment Required" a purpose enabling any software to pay for an API call the moment it makes it.
The flow is simple. A client calls an endpoint, the server replies with a price, the client pays in USDC, and the data comes back. All of it happens inside a single HTTP request, with an onchain receipt automatically generated for every transaction.
It was created by Coinbase, released open-source, and is network-neutral.
What Makes It Different on Injective?
Speed is the whole story. x402 only feels instant if the underlying payment settles fast and on most chains it doesn't.
Injective settles in a single block, roughly 650 milliseconds, with deterministic finality. It settles about as fast as a credit card swipe, at a fraction of the cost.
What Can You Actually Build With x402?
1. Paid Data APIs: Instead of locking data behind annual contracts or shared API keys, providers can charge per request. Clients only pay for what they use.
2. Micropayments: Traditional payment processors make small charges impractical. With Injective's fast and cheap settlement, charging at the level of a single action.
3. Machine-to-Machine Commerce: Agents can pay other services autonomously, with no human involved on either end. Each transaction settles in USDC and gets recorded onchain, creating a full audit trail of everything the agent bought and when.
On April 15, 2026, US-regulated INJ futures went live on Bitnomial, giving millions of eligible US traders and institutions regulated access to trade INJ through a compliant futures market and just a couple days ago, Injective announced the launch of M-INJ by Merkle Capital. This is the first ever regulated INJ fund in Asia.
Here are the key things you need to know and why this launch matters.
Who is Merkle Capital?
Merkle Capital was the first firm in Thailand to receive a Digital Asset Fund Management license from the SEC in Thailand. It operates inside Cryptomind Group, a digital asset firm that has run in the Thai market for years across research, advisory, and asset management. They already run a range of strategies spanning single assets and themes including Bitcoin Alpha, Large Cap, Blockchain Infrastructure, and Ethereum ecosystem strategies. Every strategy screens assets through Merkle's own framework and holds them for clients directly.
What is M-INJ?
M-INJ is a regulated digital asset fund launched by Merkle Capital that provides investors with exposure to the INJ token, the native asset of Injective. It is supervised by Thailand's SEC Office, and investors can hold INJ through this regulated structure with no token custody and no exchange account required. The fund is open to both retail and institutional investors.
The fund holds INJ and USDC, shifting weight between them as markets move. Across a year, at least 80% of its value stays in digital assets. It is a directional position on INJ with a stablecoin buffer when conditions turn, the strategy raises its USDC weight to manage risk, then rotates back into INJ.
It runs on an accumulation model and gains compound inside the strategy instead of paying out as dividends. There is no fixed maturity, and investors can increase or decrease their position on any business day. The minimum first investment is 500,000 Baht.
Why does this matter?
Before M-INJ, getting INJ exposure in Thailand meant buying and holding the token yourself, which ruled out most of the market. Institutions face compliance rules and custody mandates that make spot crypto hard to touch. Retail investors had to deal with exchange accounts, wallet security, and self-custody. M-INJ removes both barriers.
Assets sit with a third-party custodian under the standards a regulated manager must meet. Investors get INJ exposure inside a structure their compliance team already understands.
INJ is now regulated in both the US and Asia
INJ already trades as a regulated derivative in the United States and it's one of a very small group of digital assets with CFTC-regulated futures, alongside Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, and XRP. On top of that, both 21Shares and Canary Capital have filed for US INJ ETFs, with Canary's staked INJ product advancing through Chicago Board Options Exchange (Cboe). In Washington, Injective also launched the Injective Policy Institute, its policy and research arm working directly with US regulators and lawmakers on the rules for on-chain finance.
INJ now carries regulated futures, active ETF filings, a policy presence in Washington, and a regulated fund in Asia. That combination is rare among digital assets.
