Coinbase announces a new partnership with the AI search platform’s confusion, providing traders with direct access to trusted, real-time crypto market data.
Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong shared the update via social platform X on July 10th, confirming that Phase 1 of the integration is currently live.
According to him, Perplexity is currently ingesting Coinbase live market data, including the Coin50 index, to support crypto prices discovery and analysis. This allows users to explore real-time market shifts using Perplexity’s new browser, Comet.
He further said the feature would help traders “double click” into price movements for deeper insights and smarter decisions.
Coinbase CEO added:
“This new access to trustworthy real-time data via increasingly intelligent LLMS will help more people make smarter and informed decisions about cryptography. That’s a huge step forward!”
Armstrong also said the Perplexity team is noting that user engagement with Crypto topics is currently in line with stock interest. This reflects the increasing mainstream relevance of digital assets.
AI-powered trading tools
Armstrong noted that in phase 2 of the rollout, Coinbase market data powers the responses generated by Perplexity AI to user queries.
This next step introduces a conversational interface that allows traders to screen for potential opportunities, monitor token-specific activities, and interpret trends. All of these will be available within a single AI-Enhanced platform.
Perplexity CEO Aravind Srinivas also confirmed this.
“We use Coinbase (we are affiliated with) to bring real-time cryptographic data to Prplexity Finance. We start expressing this directly into user queries.”
Integration is driven by Coinbasedev, Coinbase’s developer-friendly infrastructure for data access and app building.
Meanwhile, Armstrong expressed optimism about the broader implications of the initiative. He said that integrating accurate, real-time cryptographic data with large-scale language models could potentially catalyze the next wave of innovation.
Coinbase CEO suggests a future where crypto wallets are fully integrated into AI systems. He described it as an important move towards an unauthorized digital economy.
