Coinbase Partners with Perplexity AI to Deliver Real-Time Crypto Market Insights
Coinbase (COIN) has teamed up with AI search engine startup Perplexity AI to provide traders with real-time, trustworthy crypto market data, the companies announced on Wednesday.
The partnership, revealed by Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong on X, aims to give users faster and more informed trading capabilities by integrating Coinbase’s market data directly into Perplexity’s suite of AI tools.
The collaboration launches today with “Phase 1,” which brings Coinbase’s data into Perplexity’s Comet browser—a live search platform that enables users to explore market trends, monitor price fluctuations, and dive into token fundamentals through an AI-driven interface.
“Crypto is going mainstream,” Armstrong wrote on X, noting that, according to Perplexity’s insights, public interest in cryptocurrencies is now on par with traditional equities.
In the partnership’s next stage, Coinbase’s data will be embedded directly into Perplexity’s conversational AI. This upgrade will let traders generate new ideas, analyze token performance, and review on-chain activity using natural language queries.
Armstrong views this as part of a larger industry evolution. “I expect enhanced crypto functionality will be a catalyst for AI to achieve another 10x unlock,” he said. “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.”
This collaboration highlights the increasing overlap between artificial intelligence and crypto, two industries frequently hailed as transformative but still exploring ways to integrate their technologies meaningfully.
At the time of writing, Coinbase shares were down about 1%, trading at $370.60.
