Cryptocurrency exchange Gemini has launched Agentic Trading, a feature that enables users to connect AI models like Claude and ChatGPT to their trading accounts.

This tool allows artificial intelligence to monitor markets, place orders, execute trades, and manage risks according to pre-defined strategies.
Gemini describes this feature as "the first agentic trading tool available directly through a regulated U.S. exchange."
"We believe we are at the beginning of a fundamental shift in how people interact with financial markets," said Gemini representatives.
Company officials view agentic trading as a "new paradigm" where AI handles execution, identifies patterns, and ensures discipline, allowing users to focus 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 APIs.
Agentic Trading includes a set of ready-to-use features called Trading Skills. These skills provide AI 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).
Wider Trend
The launch of Gemini aligns with a broader trend: users and companies are increasingly granting AI agents access to digital services.
For instance, in May 2025, Coinbase introduced the x402 online payment tool, designed for transferring stablecoins via standard internet protocols, allowing AI agents to execute autonomous trades.
In December, the second version of the protocol was released, aimed at transforming 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 Linux Foundation, with tech giants like Google, Microsoft, and Amazon Web Services participating in the project's development through the x402 Foundation.
Tempo is also working on the Machine Payments Protocol, a similar standard for payments between machines.
In March, Bernstein analysts identified AI agents as the future of stablecoins.
