The protocol, named after the HTTP 402 \u201cPayment Required\u201d status code, has processed 50 million transactions since its launch last year. In December 2025, Coinbase introduced a 2.0 version of the open-source protocol to broaden support for legacy payment rails.<\/p>\n<p>The new product also expands on Coinbase\u2019s earlier AgentKit toolkit, which enabled wallet integration during agent creation. By contrast, Agentic Wallets is presented as a plug-and-play solution that can provide any agent with a wallet to transact on a user\u2019s behalf.<\/p>\n<p>At launch, support will extend to EVM chains and Solana, alongside gasless transactions on Coinbase\u2019s Base Layer 2. The wallets include programmable spending limits, session caps and enclave isolation to keep private keys within secure Coinbase infrastructure.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: Bitcoin Miner Cango Sells $305M in BTC to Fund AI Compute Push<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>The post Coinbase Launches \u2018Agentic Wallets\u2019 to Power Autonomous AI Payments appeared first on Crypto News Australia.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>AI,Coinbase,Payments#Coinbase #Launches #Agentic #Wallets #Power #Autonomous #Payments1770892781<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Coinbase has introduced new infrastructure that enables AI agents to independently execute onchain financial activity within preset security limits.
