“We are offering this experience for the new online agentic economy,” Coelho-Prabhu said in an interview. “Agents, on one side of the transaction, will read the Coinbase developer documentation, create a wallet for themselves, and be ready to make purchases. Then we’re empowering businesses to make everything in their inventory now available on the internet through this agent-friendly payment flow.”
For users of the exchange, they can gain insight into the crypto markets with a live order list that broadcasts 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 agent trading at the user’s fingertips, with the agent gaining real-time market data and the ability to act autonomously based on conditions. “Tell it what you want in plain English – ‘buy ETH if it drops 5%’, ‘sell when my order fills’ – and it monitors the market and executes for you. The same WebSocket data that powers institutional desks is now accessible via natural language,” Coinbase said.
Additionally, for developers, there is a new Coinbase Developer Platform x402 SDK, builders can now add x402 payment acceptance to any API, MCP server or web service in 3 lines of code.
