Crypto exchange Gemini rolled out a new feature on Monday called Agentic Trading, which lets users connect AI models directly to their trading accounts. The tool is designed to allow AI to monitor markets, place orders, and manage risk based on predefined strategies set by the user.
Gemini described the feature as "the first agentic trading tool to be available directly through a regulated U.S.-based exchange." The exchange said it has integrated its full trading API with the MCP open standard, a protocol originally developed by AI studio Anthropic that connects AI agents to external tools and services. Compatible models include Claude and ChatGPT.
"We believe we're at the beginning of a fundamental shift in how people interact with financial markets," Gemini wrote in its announcement. The exchange added that Agentic Trading is intended to handle execution, pattern recognition, and trading discipline, while users retain control over strategy and goals.
The tool includes a set of pre-built modular functions called Trading Skills. These include Find the Spread, which queries the bid-ask spread for any trading pair, and Retrieve Candles, which pulls historical price data to support pattern recognition and backtesting. Gemini said additional functions are planned.
The launch fits into a broader trend of AI agents gaining access to financial and digital services. Coinbase has developed the x402 protocol, an open payments standard now managed under the Linux Foundation, which gives AI bots access to crypto wallets and a dedicated app store of tools. Tempo is separately developing the Machine Payments Protocol, a payment standard built for machine-to-machine transactions. Both x402 and MPP use the same MCP standard that Agentic Trading runs on, though neither is focused specifically on exchange trade execution.
Gemini went public late last year with an IPO priced at $28 per share. The stock has since fallen sharply, trading at $4.45 at time of publication and dipping below $4 in recent weeks. Mizuho cut its price target for GEMI citing weak trading activity, despite growth in the exchange's crypto card business. The exchange also saw the departure of its CFO, COO, and CLO earlier this year amid rising corporate expenses.
In March, Gemini co-founders Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss transferred $130 million in Bitcoin to Gemini hot wallets. The Agentic Trading rollout marks one of the exchange's most significant product launches since going public.
