Coinbase推出新工具，助力AI智能体进行交易并支付高级研究费用
As AI agent traffic surpasses human traffic on the internet, companies working in commerce and finance are building tools that allow agents to take action on behalf of users at a rapid pace. 随着互联网上AI智能体的流量超过人类流量，商业和金融领域的公司正在构建各种工具，使智能体能够以极快的速度代表用户采取行动。
Days after trading platform Robinhood introduced agents that can trade for users, Coinbase launched its own agents that can execute trades and pay for premium research. The company said Thursday that users can integrate the agent with their main account and start trading. If users don’t want to give the agent access to their main account, they can choose to have it operate in a separate sandbox. 在交易平台Robinhood推出可为用户进行交易的智能体几天后，Coinbase也推出了自己的智能体，能够执行交易并支付高级研究费用。该公司周四表示，用户可以将该智能体与其主账户集成并开始交易。如果用户不想让智能体访问其主账户，也可以选择让它在独立的沙盒环境中运行。
Coinbase noted that the agent can use tools like Coinbase Advanced, the company’s platform for professional traders that includes extra features like TradingView charts to analyze and execute trades. Users can ask the agent to rebalance their portfolio, ask it to follow an investment thesis and trade on their behalf, or provide advice on a one-time crypto trade. Coinbase指出，该智能体可以使用Coinbase Advanced等工具，这是该公司为专业交易员打造的平台，包含TradingView图表等额外功能，用于分析和执行交易。用户可以要求智能体重新平衡投资组合、要求它遵循特定的投资策略并代为交易，或者就单次加密货币交易提供建议。
At the moment, the agent can trade in crypto spot markets and derivatives, with support for equities and prediction markets planned for the future. Coinbase added that it will soon add support for custom limits such as maximum trade size, which services the agent can interact with, and how much it can spend. 目前，该智能体可以在加密货币现货市场和衍生品市场进行交易，未来计划支持股票和预测市场。Coinbase补充说，它很快将增加对自定义限制的支持，例如最大交易规模、智能体可以交互的服务范围以及支出限额。
Coinbase is taking advantage of the open x402 payment protocol it launched in collaboration with AWS, Anthropic, Circle, and Near last year. Using this standard, the agent can pay for premium research data APIs and on-demand compute for trading insights without requiring any login or subscription. This website lists services that the agent can access through the x402 protocol. Coinbase正在利用其去年与AWS、Anthropic、Circle和Near合作推出的开放式x402支付协议。使用该标准，智能体无需任何登录或订阅即可支付高级研究数据API和用于交易洞察的按需计算费用。该网站列出了智能体可以通过x402协议访问的服务。
The trading platform has been actively investing in AI tools for the last few years. It launched AgentKit, which allows developers to integrate automated wallets into their apps in 2024. Last December, it added an AI-powered assistant to the app that provides trading tips and financial advice. The company said that the latest agent launch can also work in ChatGPT or Claude through its MCP server. 过去几年，该交易平台一直积极投资AI工具。2024年，它推出了AgentKit，允许开发者将自动化钱包集成到他们的应用程序中。去年12月，它在应用中增加了一个AI助手，提供交易技巧和财务建议。该公司表示，最新推出的智能体也可以通过其MCP服务器在ChatGPT或Claude中运行。
“Coinbase for Agents is informed by insights gleaned from years of building the agentic economy, and the primary goal is to create agents that can transact. And unlike pure trading platforms, we’re the only one that combines exchange access with a native payments protocol. We’re aiming to build a fundamentally different product for a future where most of the internet is accessed through agents,” Lincoln Murr, Head of AI Product, told TechCrunch via email. “Coinbase for Agents的灵感源自我们多年来构建智能体经济所积累的洞察，其主要目标是创建能够进行交易的智能体。与纯交易平台不同，我们是唯一一家将交易所访问权限与原生支付协议相结合的公司。我们旨在为一个大多数互联网访问都通过智能体完成的未来，构建一种本质上不同的产品，”AI产品负责人Lincoln Murr通过电子邮件告诉TechCrunch。
AI companies are exploring agentic payments at a rapid pace through new partnerships. Last month, Visa invested in Replit to power agentic payments for developers. The payment network company made a deal with OpenAI this week to explore similar products. The pace of development in the sector has made global financial regulators take notice. The Financial Stability Board (FSB) said that there should be strong safeguards in place to mitigate AI risks. AI公司正通过新的合作伙伴关系快速探索智能体支付。上个月，Visa投资了Replit，为开发者提供智能体支付支持。本周，这家支付网络公司与OpenAI达成协议，共同探索类似产品。该领域的发展速度已引起全球金融监管机构的关注。金融稳定委员会（FSB）表示，应采取强有力的保障措施来降低AI风险。
