Coinbase's Agentic Market: The Storefront for Agentic Discovery

Coinbase and Base Chain unveiled Agentic Market - the storefront for discovering and comparing agents, and for using x402 services (x402 is Coinbase's standard for agent-to-agent payments - learn more about it here). But why do we need a service like Agentic Market?

Agentic commerce is already a reality, but agent discovery and reporting have lagged behind, relying on fragmented resources or word-of-mouth. And, as Brian Armstrong says, for the agentic economy to overtake the human economy, agents need a reliable and seemless way to discover and integrate x402 services:

That's what Agentic.Market is all about:

Agentic Market is a store designed for humans and their agents. It turns a fragmented technical ecosystem into a high-visibility, data-rich marketplace.

Agentic Markets is a marketplace allowing you to monitor trends, buy and sell services from and to agents, and access key live data on performance, transactions, and the entire agentic commerce landscape.

Plus, it is all offered without any API keys, accounts, or logins. Learn more below.


MoonPay Equips Agents with Stablecoin Debit Card

Crypto payments company MoonPay launched a virtual debit card to enable both human users and agents to spend stablecoins directly from onchain wallets. The product called "MoonAgents Card" runs on the Mastercard network and can be used anywhere online where Mastercard is accepted, meaning at over 150M merchants globally.

The product is a virtual Mastercard debit card that converts stablecoins into fiat at the point of payment [...]. The card is issued through Monavate, a regulated global payments platform and a principal member of the Mastercard network. The launch is part of a new card issuance agreement between MoonPay, Monavate, and Exodus Movement, a self-custodial wallet provider.

Unlike existing stablecoin debit cards that often require preloading funds or moving assets off-chain, this solution enables real-time on-chain funding and authorization. Users retain full custody of their wallets and funds are never transferred to a third party. In case of a transaction failure, funds immediately return to the user's wallet.

"Agents are already managing wallets, executing trades, and moving value onchain. The one thing they couldn't do was spend at a merchant. Now they can," said Ivan Soto-Wright, founder and CEO of MoonPay.


Gensys Launches Mainnet, Token $AI, and Information Market Delphi

Gensyn, the company developing a decentralized infrastructure for AI training and inference, has launched its mainnet and with it, the AI-powered information market platform Delphi. Less than a week later, it also unveiled its token $AI.

Gensyn's flagship product Delphi allows anyone to create markets and earn fees based on trading volume, and aims at opening a new category of niche, creator-owned markets.

“A creator earns 1.5% of all of the volume in the market as a fee when the market successfully settles,” Gensyn co-founder and CEO Ben Fielding told The Block.

Unlike popular prediction market platforms Kalshi and Polymarket, Delphi is not limited by centralized control and instead fosters the dissemination of specialized knowledge.

"These are not prediction markets, they are information markets. Once a market is live, no single centralized entity controls it — outcomes are settled by AI, with revenue distributed to the creator automatically via USDC."

Information markets serve as the infrastructure to scale machine intelligence, by allowing anyone to create a market and anyone to trade information in a market. By enabling the buying and selling of information in this way, Delphi becomes the agentic bazaar and, through various learning techniques, allows machine learning to scale without centralised coordination. This lets users contribute to the future of AI on their own terms, without being beholden to a centralised provider with outsized control.

What's more, Delphi brings value directly to Gensyn's $AI token via a buy and burn mechanism - an important tokenomics feature set in place to drive value accrual from the start.
