The developers of the Coinbase-backed x402 payment standard have launched a marketplace for applications and services aimed at enhancing the utility of AI agents. Introducing Agentic(dot)Market, the homepage of the agent economy.— Monitor agentic commerce trends— Discover services for your agent to buy— Sell your services to agentsThousands of services. Zero API keys. Powered by x402. https://t.co/dgrNV73MAJ pic.twitter.com/0QU9Bpb3kG— nick.base.eth 🛡 (@Nick_Prince12) April 20, 2026 Product lead Nick Prince stated that the idea behind Agentic.market is to provide people and their digital assistants with access to thousands of tools without the need for an API key. Source: Agentic.market. According to the executive, the market serves as a "showcase for discovering, comparing, and utilizing x402 services." It offers access to "a wide range of applications and websites that AI agents can use." Prince added that hundreds of thousands of virtual assistants have conducted transactions worth hundreds of millions of dollars, yet users had to rely on "disparate sources and word of mouth" to find compatible tools. Agentic.market features a web interface that allows users to browse and evaluate services. There is also a software layer that provides AI agents with access to the platform for autonomous searching, filtering, and integrating new capabilities during operation without human intervention. The platform provides digital assistants with "skills"—code that describes how to apply a particular service. Additionally, a wallet is issued for buying or selling desired products. Launched in May 2025 by Coinbase, the x402 protocol enables AI agents to make online payments using stablecoins. Back in December last year, the second version of x402 was released.

The U.S. Senate Banking Committee is unlikely to review the CLARITY Act, a bill on cryptocurrency market regulation, in April. The discussion may be postponed to May, Senator Thom Tillis told a Punchbowl News journalist. News: Sen. Tillis (R-NC) told Senate Banking Committee Chair Tim Scott (R-SC) the panel should not plan to advance a major crypto bill in April. Negotiators need more time to finalize a bank-crypto compromise on stablecoin yield, Tillis said, pointing to a potential May markup pic.twitter.com/PIaAjPCb24— Brendan Pedersen (@BrendanPedersen) April 20, 2026 The main obstacle remains the provision on rewards for holding stablecoins. Representatives of the banking sector fear that high returns from "stablecoins" could lead to a withdrawal of deposits from traditional institutions, potentially impacting the financial stability of smaller organizations. According to Tillis, negotiators need more time to reach a compromise between banks and crypto companies. The current version of the document proposes prohibiting interest on inactive stablecoin balances, while income from asset operations would remain permitted. Crypto companies oppose such restrictions, calling them a threat to innovation. The bill aims to delineate the powers of the SEC and the CFTC, as well as to determine the status of digital assets as securities or commodities.  Digital Chamber head Cody Carbone sent a letter to the committee leadership, urging senators to expedite work on the rules to "provide legal clarity for 70 million American cryptocurrency holders."
