Coinbase launched "Agentic Wallets," the first wallet infrastructure specifically designed for AI agents. What can they do? - Hold funds - Send payments - Trade - Move liquidity All ON THEIR OWN. 24/7. Without human approval.
The numbers are now real: 📊 x402 (Machine-to-Machine Payment Protocol): +50 MILLION transactions 📊 HeyElsa, an AI type like ChatGPT has generated $503M in volume 📊 ERC-8004 (New Ethereum Standard): 21,562 AI agents registered on-chain with identity and reputation

I was taking today with my dad that is crazy that all the inventions we use today were once science fiction. I love this Back to the Future scene with video calls as futuristic and dystopian. Turns out the future just becomes boringly normal.
