Meanwhile, Coinbase has launched “Agentic Wallets” infrastructure that enables AI agents to hold wallets, spend funds, and interact with DeFi protocols autonomously. As AI and blockchain infrastructure increasingly intersect, the divide between projects embracing crypto and those actively banning it is becoming more pronounced.
