Coinbase has introduced new security features for its Coinbase for Agents platform, which launched in June. These tools are designed to provide users with direct oversight of autonomous AI trading activities.
The new settings allow users to define specific trade limits and establish maximum transaction volumes for any 24-hour period. Additionally, an auto-stop function enables users to set a percentage-loss threshold for their portfolios.
If a portfolio value drops below the user-defined threshold, the AI agent will automatically cease trading until the user manually resumes activity within the Coinbase application.
Future updates will allow users to restrict AI agents to specific product categories, such as crypto, equities, or derivatives, while disabling access to others.
During the May earnings call, CEO Brian Armstrong noted that over 90% of on-chain agentic stablecoin transaction volume occurs on the Base network.
