BREAKING: Solana joins @Mastercard's Agent Pay for Machines, a new service that lets AI agents pay across both cards and stablecoins.

It's time to fly.

Virtuals Protocol is integrating @AskVenice to power AI agent building with private, uncensored inference, available to anyone, anywhere on @base. Venice brings best-in-class privacy-first inference. Virtuals EconomyOS brings the full agent infrastructure stack: wallets, identity, payments, commerce, funding rails, and launch infrastructure. We are deploying up to $400,000 in private inference credits so anyone can move from idea to working agent without compute or backend complexity getting in the way. Start your AI journey. Inference and infra are on us. Program details soon.

NEW: Marc Andreessen declares AGI was achieved three months ago.

LATEST: 🤖 Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire says tens of billions of AI agents will soon be "conducting the work of the real economy," all transacting with stablecoins.

The right kind of ambition is to compete against yourself. To be the best version of yourself.

Agent native apps will win.

LATEST: 🤖 Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang says agentic AI requires 1000x more compute than generative AI, comparing the shift to the world suddenly needing 1000x more cars.

There’s a generational shift happening, and Coinbase is uniquely positioned to capture it: 1) The onchain economy has reached escape velocity 2) Coinbase's full stack platform is powering it 3) The next frontier is agentic and on Coinbase Our thesis is simple: crypto is the best form of money, and the infrastructure will overhaul the existing financial system. If it involves money, it will involve crypto. Coinbase is uniquely positioned to capitalize on this transformation. Some highlights from our earnings today: - Gained share in both spot and derivatives globally, reaching an all-time high in crypto trading volume market share - Saw huge growth in derivatives trading volume, driven by our Everything Exchange - 10x increase in stablecoin transaction volume on @base - USDC on our platform hit another all-time high - >90% of onchain agentic stablecoin transaction volume is on Base - 12 consecutive quarters of net native unit inflows- customers have been adding more crypto to Coinbase every quarter

🔥 JUST IN: Coinbase integrates x402 payments into Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, enabling AI agents to make USDC micropayments on Base and Solana.

JUST IN: Coinbase announces AI agents can now pay for services on AWS with USDC through x402.

agentic money = blockchain

The goal is bringing the world onchain Agents included

Three things the leading AI models are quite good at: long term planning, idea generation, and taste. Sorry, but it's true.

LATEST: 🤖 a16z crypto says blockchains are the missing infrastructure for AI agents, outlining five ways they solve identity, payments, governance, trust, and user control for autonomous economic actors.

I'm calling it. AGI is already here – it's just not evenly distributed yet.

So true 😎

The internet has protocols for data, email and identity. But not payments. Today the x402 Foundation launches under the Linux Foundation — an open standard for payments over HTTP. Now agents, APIs, and apps can move money as easily as they move data. Learn more ↓
