Coinbase Business extended payment to support AI agent and USDT payments

On 12 August, Coinbase announced that Coinbase Business was expanding payment services to provide more flexible payment modalities for enterprises and to support more clients, including AI agents. One of the priorities of this update is to support AI proxy payments. As AI agents begin to purchase digital services on the Internet on their own, to shop on their behalf and even to carry out transactions on their own, traditional payment infrastructure is difficult to meet the demand for such inter-machine transactions. Coinbase Business now supports the acceptance of AI agent payments through open machine payment standards x 402, which will be settled immediately into the enterprise ' s account by USDC, with the enterprise ' s option to obtain the proceeds or cash at any time. In addition, the Coinbase Business payment package is now fully supported by USDT, which businesses can collect through payment links, closing pages and invoices, and which will then be automatically converted to USDC and settled to the Coinbase Business account。
