1133 ET - Coinbase has launched autonomous trading for cryptocurrency assets using its Base app. Base will allow users to choose which AI agent they want to use -- including Claude or OpenAI -- and allows users to let AI make their trading decisions. Base is Coinbase's self-custodial wallet app, which also allows for access to DeFi platforms and other features outside of Coinbase's centralized cryptocurrency exchange. Today, Robinhood Markets announced its own automated AI trading for users, also allowing users to utilize AI to make credit card decisions. Major cryptocurrencies are trading mostly lower, with bitcoin down 1.4% to $74,947 and ethereum down 0.8% to $2,060. (kirk.maltais@wsj.com)
