Coinbase-backed payments standard x402 has launched Agentic.market, a marketplace that connects autonomous AI agents with apps and services. Coinbase product lead Nick Prince says the platform aims to ‘give humans and their agents access to thousands of services, with zero API keys required.’ Agentic.market functions as a storefront for discovering, comparing and using x402 services and lists integrations with sites and apps such as CoinGecko, Google Flights and X.
Prince highlighted that hundreds of thousands of AI agents have already transacted hundreds of millions in volume, but discovery was fragmented and often relied on word-of-mouth. Agentic.market offers both a web interface for people to browse and evaluate services and a programming layer so agents can search, filter and integrate new capabilities autonomously at runtime without human intervention.
The marketplace provides agents with ‘skills’—code that instructs an agent how to use a service—and includes an agent wallet so agents can buy and sell services directly. In its announcement, the platform was described as ‘the homepage of the agent economy,’ featuring tools to monitor agentic commerce trends, discover services agents should buy, and enable developers and companies to sell services to agents.
The x402 protocol, named for the HTTP status code 402 Payment Required, launched in May 2025 to enable internet payments by AI agents using stablecoins. It has drawn growing industry support and helped spur formation of the x402 Foundation, backed by Google, Microsoft and Amazon Web Services. Other early supporters include American Express, Mastercard, Visa, Cloudflare, Shopify, Stripe, Circle, Base, Polygon Labs, the Solana Foundation, Thirdweb and KakaoPay.
Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong predicts there will soon be more AI agents transacting online than humans, echoing Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire’s estimate that ‘literally billions of AI agents’ could transact on blockchains within three to five years. Agentic.market aims to simplify how those agents—and the people who manage them—discover and use the services they need.
