Coinbase Launches AI Agent Payments for Businesses in USDC
AI agents can now make payments using USDC.
1AI Agent Payments with USDC
Coinbase enables businesses to accept USDC payments directly from AI agents. This feature is offered through Coinbase Business and uses the x402 open payment standard. Businesses can manage and cash out agent payments through their existing accounts.
2The Rise of Autonomous Commerce
Coinbase believes AI agents will play a major role in the internet economy. The company began investing in this area years ago and notes that agent traffic has surpassed human traffic on Base documentation pages. USDC is positioned as a settlement layer for these activities.
3Benefits for Businesses
Coinbase Business serves over 5,000 customers and has processed approximately $1 billion in transaction volume. Businesses can earn 3.35% rewards on eligible USDC balances. Additionally, USDC payments do not carry traditional card chargeback risks.
4Real-Time Trading Tools
Coinbase is introducing new tools to connect AI systems to customer accounts. Agents can monitor open orders, inspect market depth, and track live price and volume data. Users can also set conditions in natural language.
5SDK for Developers
Coinbase's x402 software development kit (SDK) makes it easy for developers to add agent payments to APIs, web services, or AI servers. Managed wallet tools also allow for spending controls.
6The Future Internet Economy
Coinbase envisions a future internet economy serving two types of customers: people and software acting on their behalf. This vision is supported by the expansion of autonomous commerce and the creation of new financial infrastructure.
