Coinbase and 14 other x402 facilitators failed security tests built for the coming AI-agent economy
Security flaws across major x402 payment facilitators could expose facilitator-held assets and leave merchants without receiving payment for services provided, according to new research presented at the 35th USENIX Security Symposium.Researchers tested 15 major x402 facilitators, including Coinbase, Thirdweb, PayAI and Mogami, and found that every platform violated at least one security rule.They mapped 49 rule violations to 31 distinct vulnerabilities across systems that accounted for 99% of observed x402 transactions and 98% of payment volume during the study.The researchers identified four broad attack classes, including free shopping, asset theft, service disruption, and gas abuse.They directly validated six attack paths…

BitGo’s second-quarter earnings showed $4.329 billion of revenue, but almost all of the sales generated by its largest business line flowed back out as transaction costs.Revenue increased 79.6% from a year earlier, according to BitGo’s second-quarter earnings release. Yet the headline number can obscure the underlying economics: Digital Asset Sales generated $4.198 billion of revenue against $4.190 billion of direct costs.That left a spread of $7.1 million, or 17 basis points of Digital Asset Sales revenue. The measure applies to that segment, not to BitGo’s consolidated margin.BitGo generally records Digital Asset Sales gross when it acts as principal, according to…
