Crypto exchange Gemini has launched Agentic Trading, the first AI-powered trading tool from a regulated U.S. exchange. The feature allows users to connect AI models like ChatGPT and Claude to automate trading strategies, from simple orders to complex positions.
Crypto exchange Gemini launched its "Agentic Trading" feature, allowing users to execute automated trading strategies via AI models like ChatGPT and Claude, sending the company's stock up 0.25 percent.
“We believe we're at the beginning of a fundamental shift in how people interact with financial markets,” Gemini wrote in a blog post. “Agentic trading isn't just a feature. It's a new paradigm where AI handles the execution, patterns, and discipline, while you focus on strategy and goals.”
The platform is the first of its kind from a regulated U.S.-based exchange and operates through the Model Context Protocol (MCP), an open standard giving AI agents direct API access. Gemini launched with three pre-built modules, or "Trading Skills": Get Market Data for real-time prices, Find the Spread for bid-ask analysis, and Retrieve Candles for historical data. Trading volume and user growth metrics for the new feature were not yet disclosed.
The launch follows Gemini's decision in February to reduce its workforce by 25 percent and exit markets in the European Union, United Kingdom, and Australia to sharpen its focus on the United States and AI integration. While Gemini's stock has fallen more than 55 percent year-to-date, the move into agentic trading positions it against emerging AI-crypto bridges like the x402 protocol, which is backed by Coinbase and the Linux Foundation.
