According to company statements, Coinbase is enabling businesses to accept payments from AI agents and bots, rolling out the feature this week. The company calls AI payments its 'most high-conviction bet'.
The payment system uses the x402 protocol. According to one source, it also uses Coinbase Payments, though another source mentions only x402.
The feature is rolling out this week, according to company statements.
Coinbase developed and incubated the x402 protocol, which enables AI agents to conduct payments specifically in USDC. Furthermore, the exchange has expanded its ecosystem by introducing new AI trading tools and a developer kit, marking a broader strategic push to establish financial infrastructure for autonomous AI agents.
