Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong is betting big that AI and crypto aren’t rivals—they’re a dynamic duo set to revolutionize finance. He envisions AI agents needing a new kind of financial system: one built for automated, machine-to-machine transactions—exactly what crypto delivers. Through Coinbase’s Base network, USDC stablecoin, and the x402 protocol, Armstrong is pioneering “agentic finance,” letting AI pay for digital goods without human intervention. Already, Base alone sees over 100 million agentic payments—proof that this future is already unfolding. x402 standardizes automated payments, letting AI seamlessly access APIs and services using USDC. Armstrong’s vision flips the script: AI adoption will turbocharge crypto’s relevance, not the other way around.
