Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong tweeted that in the future, users may no longer need to manually operate financial applications. Instead, they will interact through AI agents, which will prompt for approval or execute actions on their behalf, giving everyone their own private banker. Coinbase is working to become the most AI-native financial account, offering both first-party interfaces (Coinbase Advisor) and third-party interfaces (allowing users to connect their own AI agents).

The original post, quoted by the Coinbase Developers account, further explained that users can connect ChatGPT, Grok, Muse, or other AI agents to Coinbase to conduct research, manage portfolios, trade cryptocurrencies and stocks, and more. All of these operations will be performed through AI agents, with clear limits and controls in place. Coinbase's new agent page is now live.
