Crypto.com Connects Real
Crypto.com has launched a new service that allows Large Language Models (LLMs) to access live cryptocurrency and financial market data directly from its exchange. The tool, Crypto Market Data, uses a Model Context Protocol (MCP) to feed real-time information like price quotes, order books, and candlestick charts into AI platforms such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Anthropic’s Claude.
This integration enables traders, analysts, and developers to incorporate up-to-the-minute market intelligence into conversational AI workflows without building custom connections. According to the company, this is the first phase of the product, with further expansions and broader LLM compatibility planned for the future. Users can already begin configuring the service with their preferred AI assistants.
“The integration of AI and crypto is just beginning and will truly reshape how we invest and engage in commerce,” said Eric Anziani, President and COO of Crypto.com. “We are excited to take this latest significant step in developing AI-powered cryptocurrency tools that are establishing the bridge to the new era of financial technology and empowerment.”
Expanding on a Broader AI Strategy
The launch of Crypto Market Data follows the 2024 debut of the Crypto.com AI Agent SDK, a toolkit designed to help developers link natural language commands to blockchain functions. The new data service complements that initiative by providing the critical, real-time information needed for effective analysis and decision support.
By exposing its data through an MCP endpoint, Crypto.com aims to remove the engineering overhead typically required to connect individual AI models to external data sources. The move reflects a growing industry trend of using specialized protocols to let AI assistants securely query live datasets.
As AI agents become more capable, services that supply timely and trustworthy data are expected to become central to market monitoring and trading. Crypto.com stated that this product aligns with its vision of putting “Cryptocurrency in Every Wallet” and its focus on security and compliance as it expands into AI-driven financial services.
