Coinbase has unveiled Agentic Wallets, a new crypto wallet system designed specifically for AI agents capable of autonomous decision-making and blockchain transactions. The initiative marks a step toward what developers call “machine-driven economies.”
According to Coinbase engineers Erik Reppel and Josh Nickerson, today’s AI tools can provide analysis and suggestions, but the next generation will actively execute trades and financial strategies. Agentic wallets allow AI programs to monitor DeFi positions, rebalance portfolios, pay for digital services, and manage liquidity automatically within user-defined limits.
The wallets are built on Coinbase’s AgentKit framework and use the x402 payments protocol, which has reportedly processed tens of millions of transactions. AI agents can operate on Base, Coinbase’s Ethereum Layer 2 network, executing trades around the clock without repeated manual approvals. The development reflects a growing intersection between artificial intelligence and decentralized finance infrastructure.
