Coinbase and Cloudflare’s x402 Protocol recently set a new transaction record, reaching 156,492 transactions in one day. The protocol marks a major advancement in machine-to-machine (M2M) and AI-driven payments.
The x402 Protocol is a collaboration between Coinbase and Cloudflare. Erik Reppel from Coinbase and Matthew Prince from Cloudflare lead the initiative supported by executives from both companies.
The record transactions highlight increased adoption of M2M payment solutions and AI-driven financial interactions. This surge reflects the protocol’s capabilities seen in exponential adoption across various marketplaces.

USDC, integrated within the x402 Protocol, is pivotal for settlement processes. The integration favors blockchain networks like Ethereum, suggesting large-scale adoption and potential liquidity growth.
As the x402 Protocol sets new benchmarks, it likely influences financial systems, potentially decreasing development times while enhancing productivity. “AI capabilities could reduce development times from weeks to days, elevating productivity to unprecedented levels,” said Brian Armstrong, CEO, Coinbase. New regulatory responses may emerge as AI-driven payments gain traction.
