Odaily News: Cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase's x402 payment protocol has processed approximately 14 million AI agent transfers over the past 30 days, with the Base network handling 7.3 million transfers and the Polygon network processing 5.6 million. USDC covers nearly all of these transfers.
x402 utilizes the HTTP 402 "Payment Required" mechanism, enabling software to automatically request and complete payments. Coinbase has expanded its related payment services to the Base, Solana, and Polygon networks, supporting USDC as the settlement asset.
In July, Coinbase launched Coinbase Business, allowing enterprises to directly receive USDC payments from AI agents, with support for payment collection, reconciliation, and withdrawals. Coinbase has described agent payments as one of its "high-conviction bets." (Bitcoin.com News)
