Gemini Rolls Out Agentic Trading to Let AI Execute Crypto Trades

Overview

• Gemini, which launched the tool Monday, lets traders link ChatGPT or Claude to their exchange accounts through the Model Context Protocol.
• Through MCP, the AI can read market data, place buy or sell orders, and follow risk rules that users define using Gemini's full trading API.
• The first Trading Skills include Find the Spread for bid-ask checks, Retrieve Candles for price history, and Get Market Data for real-time quotes.
• The launch follows a rough market run for GEMI after its 2024 listing, with shares recently trading under $4 and several top executives departing.
• The move fits a broader push to connect AI with crypto systems, including the x402 protocol for AI wallet access and Tempo’s machine payments standard.
