Coinbase x402 Launches Agentic.market to Power AI Agent Payments and Service Discovery

Coinbase backed artificial intelligence payments protocol x402 has launched a new marketplace called Agentic.market, aimed at improving how AI agents discover and use compatible online services. Coinbase product lead Nick Prince introduced the platform in a video shared on X, explaining that the goal is to provide both users and their AI agents access to thousands of services without requiring traditional API keys.

Prince described Agentic.market as a storefront that allows users to discover, compare and integrate x402-enabled services. The platform currently supports a variety of tools and websites that AI agents can interact with, including data platforms, travel services and social media applications. He noted that although hundreds of thousands of AI agents have already processed transactions worth hundreds of millions, many users previously relied on fragmented sources and word-of-mouth to locate suitable services.

x402 Protocol Gains Industry Support and Expands AI Commerce

The x402 protocol, introduced in May 2025 and named after the HTTP status code “402 Payment Required,” enables AI agents to make internet payments using stablecoins. The marketplace includes a web interface for human users and a programming layer that allows AI agents to search, filter and integrate new capabilities autonomously. Several major technology and payment companies have shown early support, highlighting expectations that AI agents could soon handle a growing share of global online transactions.
