Coinbase is introducing a feature that lets its business customers receive USDC payments directly from artificial intelligence agents. From this week, customers can accept USDC sent by AI agents without separate integration, using the x402 payment standard, with Coinbase Payments handling settlement. The company is also expanding Coinbase for Agent, enabling real-time order monitoring via natural-language commands, and adding developer tools through the CDP x402 SDK. Security concerns remain as agents gain spending authority.

LG Uplus said on Tuesday it published its 2025 sustainability report disclosing environmental, social and governance results. The company reorganised four key ESG issues based on Korea Sustainability Standards Board criteria and added new pages on digital inclusion. It reported achievements in climate response and energy transition, including an A leadership rating from CDP and approval of its carbon neutrality target by SBTi. It also highlighted customer satisfaction, user protection, governance changes and AI-based service improvements.
