This innovative tool enables AI to oversee market activities, execute trades, and manage risks, guided by pre-set strategies.
Gemini claims this is the first agentic trading tool available on a regulated U.S. exchange, marking a potential shift in how users engage with financial markets.
"We believe we are at the beginning of a fundamental shift in how people interact with financial markets," stated a Gemini representative.
According to the company, the new feature represents a significant change where AI can perform execution, identify trading patterns, and maintain discipline, allowing traders to concentrate on broader strategies and objectives.
Agentic Trading utilizes the Model Context Protocol (MCP) developed by Anthropic, enabling AI agents to connect with various tools and APIs.
The feature comes with a suite of capabilities known as Trading Skills, allowing AI to perform tasks such as assessing the spread between trading pairs and retrieving historical data for analysis.
Industry Context
This development is part of a growing trend where companies are empowering AI agents to access digital services. For instance, in May 2025, Coinbase launched x402, facilitating stablecoin transactions via online protocols for automated trading operations.
By December, the protocol evolved into a comprehensive payment system, and in April 2026, it was transferred to the Linux Foundation, involving major tech firms like Google and Microsoft in its development through the x402 Foundation.
Similarly, Tempo is developing the Machine Payments Protocol, creating standards for machine-to-machine payments. In March, analysts from Bernstein highlighted AI agents as a promising future for stablecoin transactions.
