it is underrated that this is the world's first fully custodial x402 integration pay for x402 endpoints with your Coinbase USDC balance
Introducing the world’s first fully custodial x402 integration, live in Coinbase for Agents. Your agent can pay for market and social data, then use it to trade on Coinbase on your behalf: Trading drives demand for data. Payments unlock the data that informs the next trade. Agentic trading and payments are converging into one continuous loop. As workflows shift from human-executed to agent-executed, agents need a financial account. That account is Coinbase.

Connect your favorite AI Agent to Coinbase to trade, pay, and manage your finances. Shown here on Muse but works on just about all of them.
make x402 micropayments from your coinbase balance! i think there's a potential flywheel around: 1. agent wants to make a trade 2. agent pays for premium trading data 3. agent makes more well-informed trade 4. agent pays for more data to make more money

x402 was just the canary in the coal mine for the AI x Crypto narrative. Coinbase for Agents is the real platform shift. AI is getting its own financial system.

You can now get 24/7 personalized investment advice and sophisticated trading strategies that used to only be available to institutions and the ultra-wealthy on Coinbase
A fee-free, SEC-regulated, AI-powered investment advisor is now live on Coinbase. Pay a human advisor "an arm and a leg for generic advice from 9 to 5"... Or use Coinbase Advisor - always on, no fees, knows every detail of your portfolio. And beyond advice, AI agents can now execute sophisticated trading strategies on your behalf. Tax-loss harvesting, options income, macro-triggered rebalancing - things that were "previously just not possible" for normal people. FT @Coinbase.

for a long time i thought agentic trading was dumb and meant "@grok make me money, make no mistakes" but now i realize it's a spectrum, where what makes the most sense (for now) is humans outsourcing automation and execution of high-level ideas and strategies to agents

We agree. Thank you @SecScottBessent for saying it. It's time to pass the Clarity Act. Grateful for all the bipartisan work among Senators and staff over the past several months to make this a strong bill.
Congress has spent the better part of half a decade trying to pass a framework to onshore the future of finance. It is time for @BankingGOP to hold a markup and send the CLARITY Act to President Trump’s desk. Senate time is precious, and now is the time to act.

this is the frontier of retail trading you better believe these trading agents will want access to alternative data sets via x402 to gain edge
