Odaily News The x402 protocol, incubated by Coinbase, has announced the launch of a unified platform called Agent.market, positioned as an "AI Agent App Store" for centrally showcasing and integrating various tools and services built on the protocol. According to the introduction, Agent.market already covers seven major categories at launch: inference, data, media, search, social, infrastructure, and trading. It integrates service providers including OpenAI, Bloomberg, CoinGecko, LinkedIn, X, and AWS Lambda, and supports permissionless integration.Erik Reppel, Engineering Lead at Coinbase Developer Platform, stated that the platform is essentially "an app store for agents." Currently, there are approximately 69,000 active agents on the x402 network, which have cumulatively completed over 165 million transactions, with a transaction volume reaching $50 million. Most services on Agent.market adopt a pay-per-use model, with some charging an "agentic premium" for AI agents. However, costs can be reduced through subscriptions in high-frequency usage scenarios. Meanwhile, the "agent economy" based on x402 is lowering customer acquisition and integration costs for businesses, unlocking previously constrained demand due to API keys, subscriptions, and micro-payment mechanisms.The x402 protocol is named after the HTTP 402 "Payment Required" status code, enabling websites, APIs, and AI agents to conduct instant micropayments via blockchain and traditional payment channels. The protocol is governed as an open standard by the x402 Foundation under the Linux Foundation and has received support from over 20 technology and crypto institutions including Cloudflare, Stripe, Amazon Web Services, Google, and Visa.

Bitget, in collaboration with data research firm Block Scholes, has jointly released a report analyzing the correlation trends between crypto assets and traditional financial markets under macroeconomic event-driven conditions, based on Q1 2026 market data. The report notes that as Bitcoin’s correlation with major stock indices has risen to one of the highest levels since the end of 2025, traders’ demand for real-time cross-market allocation is increasing. Data shows that Bitget’s CFD business volume has demonstrated sustained growth: daily trading volume stood at approximately $2 billion at launch, rose to $4 billion shortly thereafter, and surged beyond $6 billion during periods of heightened market volatility. According to the report, this shift reflects how some users are progressively integrating crypto assets, equities, and commodities into a unified trading framework for coordinated management—rather than treating them as entirely separate trading strategies. The report further highlights that, against the backdrop of continuously strengthening multi-asset correlations and increasingly pronounced macro-driven trading characteristics, Unified Exchanges (UEX)—platforms that integrate crypto assets and traditional financial instruments within a single account system—are drawing growing attention from active traders and are gradually becoming a key venue for cross-asset allocation.
