Coinbase launches Coinbase for Agents, allowing AI Agents to trade and make payments on behalf of users

Coinbase has launched "Coinbase for Agents," creating dedicated accounts and sub-accounts for AI Agents, enabling them to trade, manage funds, and make payments on behalf of users. Users can control the AI Agent through natural language commands, such as regularly adjusting their portfolio, executing trading strategies, researching market information, or automatically purchasing assets within a set budget, without the need to manually transfer funds between different wallets.

Coinbase stated that this product is built on its AI-related developments over the past year, including the previously launched x402 AI payment open standard and AgentKit. Currently, platforms like Gemini, OKX, and MetaMask are also exploring financial accounts and wallet infrastructure for AI Agents, indicating that the cryptocurrency industry is accelerating its layout for "non-human user" scenarios.
