Coinbase introduces USDC payment feature for AI agents for business customers
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.
