Coinbase and Perplexity AI Team Up to Bring Live Crypto Data to Traders
Coinbase (COIN) has formed a partnership with AI search engine startup Perplexity AI to make real-time, reliable crypto market data more accessible to traders, the companies announced on Wednesday.
The collaboration, revealed by Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong on X, aims to help users make faster and more informed trading decisions by integrating Coinbase’s market data directly into Perplexity’s AI-powered tools.
The partnership kicks off today with what Armstrong referred to as “Phase 1.” Coinbase’s market data is being integrated into Perplexity’s Comet browser, a live search tool that will let users analyze market trends, track price movements, and explore token fundamentals through an AI-driven interface.
“Crypto is going mainstream,” Armstrong wrote on X, noting that according to Perplexity, interest in cryptocurrencies now rivals that in traditional equities among online search queries.
The next phase will embed Coinbase’s data directly into Perplexity’s conversational AI system, enabling traders to research new trading opportunities, track token performance, and analyze on-chain activity through natural-language searches.
Armstrong said this integration is part of a broader trend where AI and crypto intersect. “I expect enhanced crypto functionality will be a catalyst for AI to achieve another 10x unlock,” he shared. “Personally, I’m most excited to see crypto wallets fully integrated into LLMs one day. That will be a huge step toward a permissionless, digital economy.”
The partnership highlights the growing intersection between crypto and artificial intelligence, two emerging industries seen as transformative but still exploring practical ways to merge their technologies.
At the time of writing, Coinbase shares were trading at $370.60, down about 1% on the day.
