Coinbase and Perplexity AI Partner to Supply Traders With Up-to-the-Minute Crypto Data

Coinbase and Perplexity AI Join Forces to Bring Real-Time Crypto Data to Traders

Coinbase (COIN) has announced a strategic partnership with Perplexity AI, an emerging AI-powered search engine, to integrate real-time cryptocurrency market data directly into Perplexity’s platform.

Revealed by Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong on X, the collaboration is aimed at enhancing the trading experience by offering instant access to reliable market insights through AI tools. Armstrong described the launch as “Phase 1” of the partnership, which kicks off with Coinbase’s data now live on Perplexity’s Comet browser—a tool that enables users to search market trends, track token performance, and explore price action in real time.

“Crypto is going mainstream,” Armstrong noted, referencing data from Perplexity that shows cryptocurrency-related searches are now as common as those for traditional equities.

In the next phase, Coinbase data will be fully integrated into Perplexity’s conversational AI system. This upgrade will allow users to query market analytics, discover trading ideas, and access on-chain insights through natural language.

Armstrong also hinted at the broader potential of combining crypto and AI technologies:

“Enhanced crypto functionality could be the unlock that pushes AI to its next major leap. I’m especially excited for a future where crypto wallets are integrated into large language models—it’s a big step toward a truly open digital economy.”

The partnership marks another sign of convergence between two of the tech world’s fastest-evolving sectors—crypto and artificial intelligence—as they seek to create more practical, real-world applications together.

At the time of publication, Coinbase stock (COIN) was trading at $370.60, down about 1% on the day.
