Gemini has launched Agentic Trading for users who want AI support in crypto trading. The tool lets users connect models like ChatGPT and Claude to their Gemini accounts.
The feature uses the MCP open standard to link AI agents with Gemini’s trading API. Gemini said it is built for market tracking, trade execution, and risk control.
Gemini Adds AI Access to Trading Accounts
Gemini said Agentic Trading lets AI systems act on predefined trading strategies. These systems can monitor markets and place trades when user-set rules are met. The exchange said users will still focus on goals and strategy.
The company described the product as “the first agentic trading tool to be available directly through a regulated US-based exchange.” It also said the feature marks a new way to use AI in markets. Gemini added, “Agentic trading isn’t just a feature.”
The tool comes as AI agents gain more use across digital services. In crypto, agents are being linked to wallets, exchanges, and payment tools. However, trading access also requires clear controls and defined limits.
MCP Standard Connects AI Models With Gemini API
Agentic Trading runs through MCP, an open standard developed by Anthropic. MCP helps AI agents connect with outside tools, services, and APIs. Gemini said it has connected its full trading API to the standard.
This setup lets supported AI models request market data and use trading functions. The models can then act within the limits set by the user. Gemini said this includes trade actions and risk management.
The exchange also introduced Trading Skills with the launch. These are modular functions that an AI model can call during use. One function, Find the Spread, checks the bid-ask spread for a trading pair.
Another function, Retrieve Candles, gives access to historical price data. Gemini said this data can support pattern checks and backtesting. The company also plans to add more functions over time.
Launch Comes During Wider Agentic AI Growth
Gemini’s launch follows wider work on AI agents in crypto. Coinbase has supported x402, an open payments standard for AI bots. The standard is now under the Linux Foundation.
Tempo is also working on the Machine Payments Protocol. That project is aimed at machine-to-machine payments. Both x402 and MPP use MCP, but they are not focused on exchange trading.
The launch also comes during a busy period for Gemini as a public company. The firm recently saw changes in its senior management team. Its CFO, COO, and CLO departed as expenses rose.
Mizuho also cut its price target for GEMI due to weak trading activity. The report noted growth in Gemini’s crypto card business. The Block reported GEMI shares traded at $4.45 at publication time.
