U.S.-based Gemini crypto exchange plans to start letting its users deploy AI agents for crypto trading. The exchange has reportedly rolled out a feature called “Agentic Trading” that will allow users to use AI agents to initiate and facilitate crypto trades on the platform. With this move, Gemini is essentially entering the race to stay relevant among its contemporaries that are already rolling out AI trading functionalities to their users.
With the AI integration, Gemini users will be allowed to monitor markets 24/7 autonomously as well as place and execute trades based on predefined strategies.
“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 Block quoted Gemini as saying in its announcement.
Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol (MCP) has been tapped to enable this agentic AI integration with Gemini. The MCP is an open-source standard that allows AI models like ChatGPT and Claude to connect with external tools, software systems, and data sources — acting as a universal connector for AI actions. The MCP essentially removes the need for custom integrations for different AI tools.
Gemini has claimed that through the MCP, a full crypto trading API has been integrated on the exchange’s ecosystem.
The exchange had started rolling out this AI trading functionality earlier this month. On April 18, the platform had announced that it was going to start letting users connect their choice of AI models to the exchange.
Other exchanges that are forging towards advanced AI adoption include OKX, Coinbase, Crypto.com, and Chainlaysis among others.
