Coinbase launches AI agent for trading and paying for premium research

Colleagues, an AI update: Coinbase has introduced an agent that can execute trades and pay for premium research.

- Can operate on a main account or in a sandbox; leverages Coinbase Advanced. Currently supports spot and derivatives; equities and prediction markets planned.
- Performs rebalancing, thesis-driven or one-off trades; volume and service limits are coming soon.
- Pays for data and compute via the open x402 protocol without a subscription.

Why it matters: transactional agents of this kind require strengthened oversight and risk management.

Would you trust the agent with access to your main account?
