According to CoinMeta, Wu said that Coinbase published an article outlining the “agent finance ( aifi )” ecosystem layout, pointing out that the traditional financial system is limited by business hours, legal identity verification, and human intervention, and is unable to meet the economic needs of 24/7 autonomous AI agents. Cryptocurrencies and stablecoins, which feature round-the-clock operation, programmability, and low-cost micro-payments, are becoming the core foundation of aifi. Coinbase stated that the current aifi product matrix includes: SEC registration and advisory tools for agent transactions, Coinbase that support integration with Claude / ChatGPT / Cursor and other sandbox operations, for, the micro-payment open protocol X402, as well as Coinbase Business that supports enterprises in directly charging USDC from agents.
