Coinbase Tool Lets AI Agents Trade Crypto, Make Payments
The agents can trade crypto spot and derivatives, and they can pay for premium research data APIs without a login or subscription, Coinbase said.
- On Wednesday, Coinbase launched a product allowing AI agents like ChatGPT and Claude to connect directly to user accounts and execute cryptocurrency trades using natural language commands.
- The platform utilizes an open payment protocol launched last year with AWS, Anthropic, Circle, and Near, positioning the move toward what Coinbase calls "agentic commerce."
- To address security concerns, Coinbase allows agents to operate within isolated portfolios with customizable spending limits while accessing Coinbase Advanced tools, including TradingView charts, to analyze and execute trades.
- Head of AI Product Lincoln Murr told CNBC, "The whole idea is to give agents access to money," as about 157,000 agents currently use the protocol as primary economic actors.
- Days after Robinhood introduced similar trading agents, Coinbase is expanding capabilities to capture transaction fees; additionally, partnerships such as Visa investing in Replit signal that AI companies are exploring agentic payments rapidly.
