Crypto exchange Gemini has introduced Agentic Trading, a new feature designed to allow artificial intelligence models such as Claude and ChatGPT to directly connect to user trading accounts. The system enables AI tools to autonomously monitor markets, place trades, execute orders, and manage risk according to predefined strategies.
Gemini described the rollout as the first agentic trading tool available through a regulated United States-based crypto exchange, signaling a shift toward automated financial decision-making powered by artificial intelligence. The company stated that agentic trading represents a new model where AI manages execution and discipline while users remain focused on strategy and long-term goals.
MCP Standard Integration and Industry Adoption
The tool operates through the MCP open standard, originally developed by Anthropic, which connects AI agents to external tools and application programming interfaces. Gemini confirmed that its full trading API has been integrated with MCP, enabling seamless interaction between AI systems and exchange services.
Agentic Trading includes modular functions called Trading Skills, allowing AI to perform tasks such as Find the Spread to check bid-ask differences and Retrieve Candles to analyze historical market data for pattern recognition and backtesting. Gemini said additional functions will be introduced in future updates.
The launch comes amid wider adoption of agentic AI systems across the crypto sector, with competing initiatives such as the x402 protocol and the Machine Payments Protocol also using MCP to enable machine-driven financial interactions.
