Odaily Planet Daily reports: The Coinbase Developer Platform has 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, enabling automated operations such as trading and asset management under defined permissions and risk control rules. The new Coinbase CLI and MCP have demonstrated a simplified login process, with demonstrations showing integration with Claude for authentication and operational workflows. Developer wallets are now available via the Swift SDK, supporting the integration of self-custody wallet functionality into native iOS applications.
Over the coming weeks, the x402 protocol will enable users within Coinbase for Agents to pay directly using their USDC balances, allowing Agents not only to manage accounts but also to execute real payments using the user’s held stablecoins. Additionally, Coinbase will release a system update on June 16 to further enhance payment and Agent-related capabilities.
