Promote with Leviathan NewsCoinbase is packaging payments APIs, stablecoin settlement, Base infrastructure, x402 agent payments, and custody into one enterprise stack instead of making companies stitch together providers. The pitch leans on scale: Coinbase says it processes nearly $1T of stablecoin movement annually, holds nearly $20B in USDC, and Base has already handled $19T of stablecoin volume this year, almost triple 2025’s $6.6T. x402 is the AI-native hook, with 160M+ agentic payments over the last year and native integration into Coinbase Payments.
