Alpha Score of 35 reflects weak overall profile with weak momentum, weak value, poor quality, moderate sentiment.
Coinbase (COIN) said Wednesday it had expanded its platform to let AI agents make payments and execute trades. The company also released a developer kit for the new features.
Coinbase Business users can now accept USDC payments directly from AI agents starting this week. The transactions settle instantly and carry no chargeback risk, the company said. No additional setup is required. The service also supports reusable payment links and automated collection of buyer data.
Separately, Coinbase expanded Coinbase for Agents, its tool launched last month, with live trading capabilities. The system gives AI agents access to real-time market data and order books, and it can execute trades based on predefined conditions. A user could instruct an agent to buy Ethereum after a 5% price drop or sell a position once another order fills. The tool uses the same WebSocket data infrastructure that Coinbase provides to institutional desks but allows management through natural language, the company said.
Coinbase also released the CDP x402 SDK, a preconfigured version of the open-source x402 standard. It lets developers add agent payment acceptance to an API or web service with three lines of code. The SDK includes payment infrastructure and recommended extensions that would otherwise need separate configuration, Coinbase said.
Agent traffic on Base documentation pages surpassed human traffic for the first time last month, the company said.
