Perplexity AI Joins Forces With Coinbase to Provide Real-Time Crypto Data for Traders

Coinbase Joins Forces with Perplexity AI to Offer Real-Time Crypto Data

Coinbase (COIN) has announced a partnership with AI search engine startup Perplexity AI to deliver real-time, reliable cryptocurrency market data to traders, the two companies revealed on Wednesday.

The collaboration, shared by Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong on X, is designed to help traders make quicker, data-driven decisions by weaving Coinbase’s market insights directly into Perplexity’s AI tools.

The initiative launches today with “Phase 1,” which integrates Coinbase’s market data into Perplexity’s Comet browser—a live search platform. This will allow users to explore market trends, monitor price movements, and analyze token fundamentals through an AI-powered interface.

“Crypto is going mainstream,” Armstrong wrote on X, highlighting that interest in crypto searches now matches that for traditional equities, according to Perplexity’s data.

Looking ahead, the partnership will evolve to embed Coinbase’s data into Perplexity’s conversational AI. This upgrade will enable traders to discover new trading ideas, track token performance, and analyze on-chain activity using natural-language queries.

Armstrong views this partnership as part of a broader convergence between AI and crypto. “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.”

The collaboration underscores the growing connection between two transformative sectors—crypto and artificial intelligence—as both industries search for practical ways to merge their technologies.

As of publication, COIN shares were down about 1%, trading at $370.60.
