Coinbase launches onchain payments for AI agents

Coinbase unveiled support allowing AI agents such as xAI's Grok to interact with its platform, letting autonomous agents hold wallets and transact onchain. The announcement, teased as "Grok just learned how to Coinbase," points to the broader push to make the exchange's infrastructure accessible to AI — part of Coinbase's growing focus on AI-agent-ready products alongside earlier efforts like its agent SDK.
