On November 11, 2026, at 22:47 (UTC+8), PANews reported that Coinbase had introduced Agent Controls for its Coinbase for Agents trading platform. The feature lets users set a maximum amount per trade, a cap on total trading over 24 hours, and a threshold that automatically stops an agent from trading if portfolio losses exceed a chosen percentage.
According to Coinbase, these controls run on its servers, so an agent cannot bypass or change them. Coinbase said a separate permissions feature is forthcoming; it would let users restrict which categories an agent can trade, including cryptocurrencies, stocks and derivatives. The report does not say that this category-level restriction is available yet.
The announcement concerns guardrails for agent-operated trading, not evidence that AI agents are being widely adopted for it.
