The cryptocurrency exchange Gemini has launched the Agentic Trading feature, allowing AI models like Claude and ChatGPT to connect to users’ trading accounts.

This tool enables artificial intelligence to monitor markets, place orders, execute trades, and manage risks within pre-selected strategies.
Gemini described the feature as “the first agentic trading tool available directly through a regulated American exchange.”
“We believe we are at the beginning of a fundamental shift in how people interact with financial markets,” stated Gemini.
Company representatives called agentic trading a “new paradigm,” where AI handles execution, identifies patterns, and ensures discipline, while the user focuses on strategy and goals.
The tool operates on the open standard Model Context Protocol (MCP), developed by Anthropic’s lab. It connects agents with external tools and API.
Agentic Trading includes a set of ready-made functions—Trading Skills. These skills provide artificial intelligence with various capabilities, such as requesting the spread for any trading pair (Find the Spread) or accessing historical data for pattern recognition and backtesting (Retrieve Candles).
A Broad Trend
Gemini’s launch aligns with a broader trend: users and companies are increasingly granting AI agents access to digital services.
In May 2025, Coinbase introduced the x402 tool for online payments. It is designed for transferring stablecoins via standard internet protocols and allows AI agents to conduct autonomous transactions.
In December, the second version of the protocol was released, aimed at transforming the system of simple one-step transactions into a “unified payment layer of the internet.”
In early April 2026, x402 came under the management of the non-profit organization Linux Foundation. Tech giants like Google, Microsoft, and Amazon Web Services are also involved in the project’s development through the x402 Foundation.
Tempo is also developing the Machine Payments Protocol—an analogous standard for payments between machines.
Back in March, analysts at Bernstein called AI agents the future of stablecoins.
