- The Agentic AI Foundation added 97 new members, bringing total participation to 146 organizations.
- David Nalley was appointed board chair to guide governance and standards strategy.
- The Linux Foundation said rising AI adoption drives demand for interoperable open systems.
Circle joined the Agentic AI Foundation last week as the group expanded its membership base. The announcement came as the Foundation confirmed 18 new Gold Members and 79 new Silver Members. The move reflects growing coordination among technology, finance, and infrastructure firms as agentic AI systems shift toward production use.
Agentic AI Foundation Membership Broadens
The Agentic AI Foundation, an open organization focused on agent-based AI standards, now includes 146 member organizations. According to the Foundation, members collaborate on open protocols, shared tooling, and operational best practices.
The group aims to support interoperable systems as AI agents increasingly handle real-time decision making and execution. Circle joined as a Gold Member alongside firms from cloud computing, payments, infrastructure, and enterprise software.
The Foundation said programmable, internet-native money remains critical as AI agents require reliable ways to move value globally. As a result, financial infrastructure now features more prominently in agentic AI discussions.
Governance Changes and Leadership Appointment
Alongside the membership expansion, the Foundation appointed David Nalley as governing board chair. Nalley serves as director of developer experience at Amazon Web Services. He brings more than two decades of open-source leadership experience, according to the Foundation.
Nalley will oversee strategic priorities, governance processes, and member coordination. He said members will focus on building shared standards as agents transition from prototypes to operational systems. The Foundation noted that neutral governance remains central as adoption accelerates across industries.
Industry Participation Reflects Open Standards Demand
The Foundation cited research showing 89% of organizations using AI rely on open-source infrastructure. Officials said this trend reinforces the need for agreed standards and collaborative development.
Membership now spans payments, cloud services, manufacturing, telecommunications, and automation. Jim Zemlin, executive director of the Linux Foundation, said early participation levels indicate rising demand for interoperable systems.
He added that autonomous infrastructure requires community governance as deployments scale. The Foundation said members gain direct input into shaping production-ready agentic AI frameworks.

Policy Tailwinds, Giants All In: The "Institutional Game" Behind Solana's Stablecoin Supply Hitting New Highs
Author: Jae, PANews
On March 19, Solana's stablecoin supply officially crossed the historic threshold of $17 billion.
This figure not only set a new record for the Solana network, but also reflects the resilience of its ecosystem in expanding against the trend during a bear market, advancing toward the goal of "Internet Capital Markets."
Behind the $17 billion is no longer driven by simple MEME coin speculation frenzy, but rather the result of policy dividends, Wall Street institutional integration, and ecosystem synergistic effects.
From Stripe to PayPal, from Visa to BlackRock, giants from Wall Street and Silicon Valley are influencing Solana's development with real money.
