Amazon has launched AgentCore Payments, now generally available, enabling AI agents running on AWS infrastructure to autonomously pay for APIs, web content, and other agents’ services in USDC on Coinbase’s Layer 2 network Base. The system integrates with Coinbase Developer Platform wallets and Stripe Privy wallet infrastructure, using the open payment protocol x402. Transactions settle in hundreds of milliseconds, and Coinbase’s x402 Bazaar servers provide access to over 10,000 payable endpoints. AWS also built in governance controls allowing developers to set session-level spending limits and monitor all transactions through CloudWatch. This adoption by a major cloud provider signals significant mainstream validation for stablecoin payments and the x402 protocol.
