“We are delivering that experience for the new online agentic economy,” Coelho-Prabhu said in an interview. “Agents, on one side of the transaction, will go and read the Coinbase developer docs, create a wallet for themselves, and are ready to shop. Then we empower businesses so that everything in their inventory is now available on the internet through this agent-friendly checkout flow.”
For users of the exchange, they can get an easier command of crypto markets with a live order list that streams an agent’s open and active orders in real time, showing status, price, and size so the user can supervise every move, Coinbase said in a press release.
This will put agentic trading at the user’s fingertips, with the agent getting real-time market data and the ability to act on conditions autonomously. “Tell it what you want in plain English – ‘buy ETH if it dips 5%,’ ‘sell when my order fills’ – and it watches the market and executes for you. The same WebSocket data that powers institutional desks is now accessible through natural language,” Coinbase said.
In addition, for developers there’s a new x402 SDK from Coinbase Developer Platform, builders can now add x402 payment acceptance to any API, MCP server, or web service in 3 lines of code.
