Coinbase's AI agent has registered with the U.S. SEC as an investment advisor and has independent financial accounts
Molly O'Shea, founder of the technology and investment media platform Sourcery, revealed in a post on the X platform that Coinbase's AI agent has registered as an investment advisor with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and has its own financial accounts. Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong stated that the AI agents are forming an independent economy: they purchase goods and services and also hire other agents to collaborate, thus requiring a completely new financial infrastructure to support these activities.
Coinbase provides a complete tech stack for this trend, covering trading, payments, and account management. Previously, Coinbase launched the "Coinbase for Agents" platform, allowing AI systems to execute trading and payment tasks through independent sub-accounts within a secure framework set by users, covering spot, derivatives, and future stock and prediction markets.
