Gemini, the publicly traded U.S. crypto exchange led by twins Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, unveiled a new "Agentic Trading" feature that would allow users to automate their trading with Claude or ChatGPT.
The feature is built around a new Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, which allows users to connect their AI agents or bots to the functionality of the Gemini exchange's API.
"Anything you can do with a traditional API, your AI agent can now do, too," Gemini said in a blog post.
But as reported by CCN, some members of the crypto community expressed warnings about the new feature or skepticism that it improve the changes of success in trading.
"One widely shared thread argued that giving large language models direct access to capital could turn minor data manipulation into cascading sell-offs, reinforcing concerns about AI-driven market distortion," CCN's Prashant Jha reported.
The article cited another user claiming on X that the technology would add complexity but it might not be "truly useful" for mass users.
The move by Gemini comes as rival exchanges have been pivoting to take advantage of AI-fueled trends, from Coinbase to Binance.
