AWS launches AI agent payment infrastructure with Coinbase, Stripe

Amazon Web Services (AWS) announced it has partnered with Coinbase and Stripe to launch a payment infrastructure specifically for AI agents. The feature is designed to enable AI agents to directly access and pay for web content, APIs, MCP servers, and other agent services. This payment system is built on Coinbase's x402 protocol and CDP wallet infrastructure, as well as wallet technology from Privy, a subsidiary of Stripe. Users can connect stablecoin or fiat-based funds to set spending limits for each AI agent.
