According to CNBC, a connection with the Coinbase Commerce service will allow a small number of clients in the Web3 world who wish to pay with cryptocurrencies to first use the Google Cloud Platform infrastructure service to process their payments.

Google is also investigating the use of Coinbase Prime, a service that securely keeps the cryptocurrency of companies and enables them to conduct trades. Google, according to Zavery, would test the waters and “see how we might engage” in the management of bitcoin assets.

The agreement’s terms weren’t made public. But like past Coinbase Commerce agreements, Jim Migdal, vice president of business development at Coinbase, indicated that Coinbase will receive a cut of any transactions that pass through it.
