Coinbase is rolling out "Coinbase for Agents," a dedicated setup to create accounts and sub-accounts for AI agents.
Key facts
- Go ahead and do it, throw $10 into it, and see what happens and learn from it
- According to previous reporting from The Block, over 10,000 online merchants have integrated x402, providing an alternative route for AI agents to access paid tools and content on a per-use basis
- I've personally been using this on my account to keep my portfolio in this target allocation," Head of AI Product at Coinbase Lincoln Murr told The Block in an interview
- Gemini and OKX, for instance, are also allowing users to give control to their AI setups
Summary
Agents will get seamless access to trade, manage money, and make payments without users having to manually fund separate wallets, while users will be able to direct their bots using natural language to act on their behalf and pursue recurring strategies, like rebalancing their portfolios weekly. "I've personally been using this on my account to keep my portfolio in this target allocation," Head of AI Product at Coinbase Lincoln Murr told The Block in an interview. The bots will also be able to conduct market research for users, and can be programmed to trade based on a particular thesis on an active or passive basis. Coinbase is not alone in opening up its platform to non-human users.
