Coinbase: The x402 protocol will soon support direct payments of USDC balances for Coinbase for Agents users.

CoinFeed reported on June 13th that Coinbase's developer platform released an update on the progress of its payment ecosystem development. With the official launch of Coinbase for Agents, users can now create independent accounts for AI Agents and, under the setting of permissions and risk control rules, execute automated operations such as transactions and asset management. The new Coinbase CLI and MCP, simplifying the login process, have been showcased, and identity and operation integration can be demonstrated via Claude. The developer wallet is now available through the Swift SDK, supporting the integration of self-custodied wallet functionality into native iOS applications. In the coming weeks, the x402 protocol will support users within Coinbase for Agents to make direct payments using their USDC balances, allowing Agents not only to operate accounts but also to complete real-world payments directly using users' stablecoin holdings.
