Coinbase expands its payment infrastructure into the artificial intelligence sector. On January 8, 2026, fintech company OwlTing Group announced the integration of its OwlPay Checkout solutions with Coinbase’s x402 ecosystem.
This collaboration provides businesses with the necessary infrastructure to accept and process payments initiated by AI agents.
The integration aligns with Coinbase’s strategy to evolve beyond a cryptocurrency exchange and become a comprehensive financial platform.
Dan Kim, Coinbase’s VP of Business Development, defined the x402 vision as creating a web where value moves as freely as information. The OwlTing partnership represents a key step toward building real-world utility, enabling AI agents to conduct compliant transactions.
