>a new protocol ala \#ActivityPub but for money transfer
An extended version of ActivityPub can easily support economic transactions. I published a specification for such protocol here: https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/src/branch/main/fep/0837/fep-0837.md, and it can be used to build things like eBay and Patreon, but federated. It also can be used in conjunction with traditional (non-crypto) financial services, though in that case the system won't be really decentralized.
