AI is changing digital payments, and Coinbase is trying to lead that change. Last year, the cryptocurrency exchange provider partnered with Cloudflare, AWS, Anthropic and others to create the x402 protocol, a standard that enables AI agents to make transactions online. In this conversation, Coinbase’s Dan Kim talks with Targeting AI hosts Esther Shittu and Shaun Sutner AI about how generative AI is critical in creating a new class of AI agents that can autonomously engage in trading and transactions.
