Coinbase launched Coinbase for Agents, a new product that lets users connect AI agents directly to their Coinbase accounts so the agents can trade, make payments, and execute financial workflows within user defined limits.
The product is available starting today as an MCP and command line interface, according to Coinbase. The company said the tool is designed to let AI agents move beyond financial research and into execution, giving them access to trading and spending functions once a user grants permission.
Coinbase said users can ask an agent to rebalance a portfolio, set limit orders, monitor idle cash, pay for data services, or run recurring crypto purchases based on preset instructions.
Spot and derivatives crypto trading are available today, while Coinbase said it plans to expand capabilities to stocks, index funds, prediction markets, and commodities.
The launch marks Coinbase’s latest push into agentic finance, where AI systems operate across apps and financial services on behalf of users. The company said Coinbase for Agents can operate inside an isolated portfolio or through a user’s main Coinbase account, with access restricted to what the user allows.
