Good agents need good data.
@glassnode is one of the best in the game.
Welcome to x402.
Your AI agent can now buy Glassnode data.
x402 pays per call: from your @coinbase balance via Coinbase for Agents (live today), or any USDC wallet via Base MCP.
Try: "Pull Glassnode's MVRV and NUPL for BTC and tell me if the market is overheated"

Ozempic, but for AI agents needing less tokens. Who’s building this

Read this if you want to understand what’s happening with USD/JPY. It’s the exact same playbook as the 1980’s, albeit at a smaller scale.
Is this an accurate summary of the situation with JPY?
1/ Japan runs up massive public debt in the 1990s–2000s after asset bubble collapses
2/ Central bank keeps rates near zero for decades to fight deflation and keep the debt serviceable
3/ The world borrows in JPY almost for free and leverages up (aka the yen carry trade)
4/ That cheap leverage flows into higher-yielding assets, including US equities and bonds
5/ Today the Bank of Japan is raising rates to normalize policy amid inflation and a weak yen
6/ Higher Japanese rates + stronger yen force carry trades to unwind
7/ This creates selling pressure that puts US equities at risk
8/ Japan intervenes to support the yen
9/ That’s not enough so now the US Treasury joins in by buying yen

Disagree. The purpose of crypto is a secure, decentralized financial system. Self-custody plays a critical role, but the ability to delegate to reputable custodians is just as important.
self-custody is the entire point of crypto
You're a merchant (interested in) accepting stablecoins and..
(1) you do not have yet an agentic strategy
(2) you just want USD/EUR in your bank account
(3) you want daily settlement reporting
(4) Fastest setup via a single API to integrate

x402 acceptance for businesses is a strong signal for the category.

Everyone is talking about AI agents.
Almost nobody is talking about the one engineering decision that determines whether those agents can actually use your platform.
