: Coinbase Developer Platform has released an update on payment ecosystem development progress. With the official launch of Coinbase for Agents, users can now create independent accounts for AI Agents, enabling automated operations such as trading and asset management under configured permission and risk control rules; a new Coinbase CLI and MCP have been demonstrated to simplify the login process, allowing identity and operation integration demonstrations via Claude; Developer wallets are now available through the Swift SDK, supporting the integration of self-custody wallet functionality within native iOS applications.In the coming weeks, the x402 protocol will support users within Coinbase for Agents to make direct payments using their USDC balance, allowing Agents not only to operate accounts but also to complete real-world payments directly through the stablecoins held by users. Additionally, Coinbase will release a system update on June 16 to further enhance payment and Agent-related capabilities.
: According to an official announcement, on June 3, Trust Wallet announced a partnership with BNB Chain and CoinMarketCap to officially launch the "BNB Hack: AI Trading Agents" hackathon, featuring a total prize pool of $36,000. The Trust Wallet Agent Kit serves as the core on-chain execution technology stack for this event. This hackathon also marks the first time the Trust Wallet Agent Kit has been fully integrated as a core infrastructure component into a top-tier AI Agent hackathon system.The hackathon features two main tracks: "Autonomous Trading Agents" (prize pool $24,000, 5 winners) and "Strategy Skills" (prize pool $6,000, 3 winners), in addition to three partner special awards of $2,000 each. In the "Autonomous Trading Agents" track, participants must leverage the Trust Wallet Agent Kit to achieve local self-custodial signing, autonomous mode operation, and on-chain trade execution, deployed within native BNB Chain scenarios such as PancakeSwap and BSC Perpetual Contracts. The "Strategy Skills" track does not require an execution layer; participants build backtestable strategy proposals based on 12 categories of data tools from CoinMarketCap MCP, including market data, technical indicators, on-chain data, sentiment, and news.Track one uses real PnL as the core evaluation criterion, setting a maximum drawdown limit as the risk control threshold. Track two is comprehensively scored by a judging panel across four dimensions: technical execution, originality, real-world value, and presentation. The build window runs from June 3 to June 21, the trading window from June 22 to June 28, and winners will be announced during the week of July 6. In addition to cash prizes, winning teams will receive CoinMarketCap Pro API subscription credits, mentorship from CMC Labs, and the BNB Chain Kickstart ecosystem support package.
OpenSea has announced the launch of the Ethereum open standard ERC-8257 (Agent Tool Registry), positioning it as the "app store for AI agent tools."According to the announcement, developers can use this standard to register tools on-chain, declare access rules and pricing, while also enabling AI agents to autonomously discover, purchase access rights, and invoke relevant tools without human intervention.OpenSea stated that ERC-8257 can be composable with other protocols such as ERC-8004 (Agent Identity), MCP (Tool Discovery), and x402 (Payment Protocol), collectively forming the infrastructure for AI agent on-chain operations. ERC-8257 is currently in the draft stage, and OpenSea has invited developers to participate in further refining the specification.
According to CoinDesk, Base—the Ethereum Layer 2 network operated by Coinbase—has launched the AI-integration tool Base MCP, which connects users’ Base accounts to AI clients such as ChatGPT, Claude, and Cursor, enabling them to perform transactions—including fund transfers, token swaps, balance checks, transaction history reviews, and interactions with DeFi applications—using natural language.
: Base, the Ethereum scaling network incubated by Coinbase, has launched Base MCP, aiming to connect AI interfaces with Base wallet infrastructure.Through this integration, users can use natural language commands in AI tools that support the MCP open standard to complete token swaps, fund transfers, and interact with Base ecosystem applications. Supported AI interfaces include Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and others.Base MCP will serve as a secure gateway between user Base accounts and AI interfaces. At its initial launch, it will connect with applications such as Morpho, Bankr, Moonwell, Avantis, Aerodrome, Virtuals, and Uniswap, covering scenarios including lending, swaps, perpetual contracts, new tokens, and AI Agent issuance.MCP stands for Model Context Protocol, originally proposed by Anthropic, and is an open standard for connecting AI models with external tools and data sources.
: According to official sources, Base MCP has been officially launched. Users can connect their Base account to an AI interface to perform swaps, transfers, track their portfolio, and participate in the Base ecosystem via chat. The service supports projects like Morpho, Moonwell, Aerodrome, Bankr, Avantis, Virtuals, and Uniswap upon launch, covering areas such as lending, swapping, and perpetual contracts.Users can install it through AI clients that support MCP and authenticate using their Base account. All transactions initiated by the AI agent require users to manually confirm or cancel them. Base MCP builds its authentication based on the OAuth 2.1 standard, generates wallet request links via the store request function, and the MCP server does not hold or access users' private keys.

It also launched the MCP functionality and machine-readable documentation tailored for large language models (LLMs), supporting the development of the AI Agent ecosystem. According to the official USDD team, future priorities include strengthening stability, optimizing the yield system, upgrading transparency, and expanding the ecosystem—aiming to become a trusted stablecoin infrastructure within both the AI Agent economy and decentralized finance (DeFi) use cases.
from Consensus Miami 2026 that CZ stated YZi Labs currently allocates 70% of its funds to blockchain, 20% to AI, and 10% to biotechnology. He said BNB should be positioned as the native currency for AI agents, and emphasized that all blockchains need to be "AI ready," supporting agent payments and AI tool protocols like MCP. Cryptocurrency should be the most native method for AI agents to conduct cross-border payments. Regarding RWA, CZ mentioned that he believed RWA was overvalued a year ago but has now changed his view, recognizing that RWA is real and currently undervalued.
According to The Block, Amazon Web Services (AWS) has partnered with Coinbase and Stripe to launch Amazon Bedrock AgentCore Payments, enabling AI agents to conduct transactions using stablecoins.

Bank of AI has partnered with Peking University’s Blockchain Association (PKUBlockchain) to release its inaugural research report, “Web4.0: When AI Agents Become Economic Actors—Infrastructure Gaps, Industry Landscape, and Investment Outlook,” officially published today. The report systematically outlines infrastructure gaps across three layers: the x402 payment protocol, the ERC-8004 identity standard, and the MCP tool-calling protocol. It further analyzes how Bank of AI integrates five core components into a one-stop Agent Financial Operating System—a representative case bridging protocols to real-world products. The report notes that TRON’s blockchain supports over $22 billion in daily transaction volume and $86 billion in circulating USDT, providing a scalable foundation for AI Agents’ high-frequency micro-settlements. Both parties will continue advancing the synergistic development of Web4.0 infrastructure and the agent-driven economy.
