Coinbase's signup page describes ways for customers to direct AI-agent activity in stock and cryptocurrency trading through their accounts, with customer-set limits defining the permitted scope.
Customers can frame trades around a preset strategy or give directions in everyday language, according to the page. It covers stocks as well as cryptocurrencies.
Coinbase for Agents was introduced June 11, 2026; in the U.S., agents can use a customer's Coinbase balance to make capped USD Coin (USDC) payments for market data. Users set limits on that activity as well as trading.
The purchase stage offers another way to keep people in control: EconoTimes previously covered a planned checkout requiring customers to approve AI-agent purchases with USD Coin (USDC).
