## Resource

In this episode of the Crypto 101 Podcast, Lincoln Murr, Head of AI Product at Coinbase, explains how Coinbase is building financial infrastructure for AI agents. He breaks down X402, a payment standard that allows AI agents to spend money online using crypto rails, especially USDC on Base, without relying on credit cards, subscriptions, or traditional payment workflows. The conversation covers agent wallets, machine-to-machine payments, microtransactions, Coinbase Advisor, agentic trading, premium data access, and why Coinbase wants to become the backbone of the agentic economy.
