Coinbase says AI agent cut fraudulent transactions by 30%
- —Fraudulent transactions fell 30%, with fraud value down 22%
- —Fraud avoided was roughly 3x the estimated inference cost
- —The agent runs on top of existing filters and can only block, not unblock
- —Median model latency was about 1.5 seconds on ~7,000-token inputs
Why it matters: A major exchange showed AI agents can augment anti-fraud stacks, cutting fraud losses without replacing existing controls.
