Odaily Planet Daily News: Cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase has launched AI agent-initiated payment support through Coinbase Business, enabling merchants to receive USDC payments from autonomous software using x402, Coinbase’s open payment standard, and manage, reconcile, and convert these funds within the same account. Launched in June 2025, Coinbase Business has onboarded approximately 5,000 customers and processed a cumulative volume of about $1 billion in payments and transactions. Businesses using the service can earn a 3.35% reward on eligible idle USDC balances, with early use cases concentrated in digital services such as APIs, cloud storage, and domain names. Coinbase has also added real-time trading functionality to Coinbase for Agents, allowing AI agents to monitor unfilled orders, view market depth, and track real-time prices and volumes. Users can also set conditions using natural language, with all actions still subject to user-defined limits.
