Coinbase recently made headlines by completing the first cryptocurrency transaction managed entirely by an AI bot.
According to the statement, although apayze brokers do not have access to traditional bank accounts, they can now access crypto wallets and make transactions using USDC on the Base network.
Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong highlighted the importance of this development and said:
“AI bots can’t have bank accounts, but they can have crypto wallets. They can now use USDC on the Base network to transact with humans, merchants, or other AIs.”
Armstrong said that while technology is advancing, the inability of AI to perform operations is a major hurdle:
“Today, if you give an AI agent a task and come back a few days or hours later, it can’t do any useful work. That’s partly a limitation of the technology itself, and products like devin.ai are coming close to solving that. But another reason is that AIs can’t do the processing to get the resources they need.”
