Coinbase rolls out AI tool to ‘give any agent a wallet’

Coinbase is rolling out “Agentic Wallets,” the first wallet infrastructure specifically designed for autonomous AI agents. The new tool will enable AI agents — autonomous bots that can interact with the web — to independently hold funds, send payments, trade tokens, earn yield, and transact onchain, with built-in security guardrails to prevent misuse, according to a blog post on Wednesday. “AI agents are everywhere – answering questions, summarizing documents, and assisting with tasks. But today’s agents hit a wall when they need to actually do something that requires money,” Coinbase Developer Platform programmers Erik Reppel and Josh Nickerson wrote. Agentic Wallets builds on the x402 protocol that Coinbase is developing with other internet stakeholders to support autonomous crypto payments “without human intervention” as interest in artificial intelligence continues to swell.
