## Content

Coinbase introduced Coinbase for Agents, a service that connects an AI agent directly to a user's Coinbase account to trade, pay, and execute workflows within preset limits. It is available today as both an MCP for web-based harnesses like ChatGPT and Claude Web, and a CLI plus Skill built for terminal environments like Claude Code, Codex, and OpenClaw. The product lets an agent handle both financial reasoning and execution, closing the gap left by LLMs that lack portfolio context and cannot transact. Coinbase outlined use cases including strategy-led portfolio rebalancing with limit orders triggered on 5%, 10%, or 15% dips, around-the-clock capital efficiency monitoring of idle funds, and data-informed trades. Crypto spot and derivatives trading is fully enabled now, with stocks, index funds, prediction markets, and commodities to follow. The launch builds on AgentKit and the x402 payments protocol.
