The integration allows AI agents built on Amazon Bedrock AgentCore to make USDC micropayments and access services autonomously using Coinbase’s x402 protocol.
Amazon Web Services has integrated Coinbase’s x402 payments protocol and wallet infrastructure into Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, allowing agents to make USDC micropayments and access services autonomously through AWS-managed payment controls.
According to Coinbase, the integration enables developers to deploy AI agents that can discover services, make micropayments and settle transactions in USDC (USDC) on Base and Solana (SOL) without direct access to private keys.
The announcement comes after the crypto exchange announced earlier this week that it was cutting about 14% of its workforce as the company restructures around smaller AI-focused teams and increased use of automation tools.
