Huo Xing Cai Jing reports that Molly O'Shea, founder of the technology and investment media platform Sourcery, revealed on X that Coinbase’s AI agent has registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as an investment advisor and maintains its own financial account. Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong stated that AI agents are forming an independent economy—they purchase goods and services and hire other agents to collaborate, necessitating entirely new financial infrastructure to support these activities. Coinbase has developed a comprehensive technology stack to enable this trend, covering trading, payments, and account management. Previously, Coinbase launched the “Coinbase for Agents” platform, allowing AI systems to execute trades and payment tasks through independent sub-accounts within user-defined security frameworks, supporting spot, derivatives, and future equity and prediction markets.
